Chapter 103 Legend
Meeting Saki's "second love" was just a trivial interlude. In fact, Saki had fallen for her, and Su Ke always felt that this woman's future was not good. He hoped that she could come back alive from this trainee mercenary assessment.
Crimson Dragon Star is one of the top 100 most important planets within the territory of the Jialan Empire. The identity of the planet's owner is a mystery. After many days of dark space travel, Suk and his crew's spaceship finally arrived at this famous planet.
After another space travel, the spaceship flew towards that incredibly beautiful, huge, red planet, tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter and surrounded by nine satellites.
Their spaceship had just arrived when it was guided by a traction signal to the planet's docking port.
Crimson Dragon City is an incredibly ancient and prosperous metropolis with a history of hundreds of millions of years. It is said to have been named by the original owner of Crimson Dragon Star, and the Crimson Dragon World was actually left behind by that creator. It has always been used as a location for the assessment of cosmic trainee mercenaries.
There is a legend that the current mysterious master of Crimson Dragon Star is the original one, but of course this has not been confirmed and most people consider it a legend.
"This is Red Dragon Star."
"That's really impressive."
"It's much more impressive than any city we've ever seen on this planet."
The people who flew here were all amazed.
"Of course." Saki said with emotion, "Red Dragon City has a history of hundreds of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years. Naruto, I can't even imagine it. Even the World Lord doesn't live that long."
Suk nodded in agreement. Apart from some races in the universe with special bloodlines whose world lords have longer lifespans, the lifespan of human world lords is basically 1000 epochs, which is a little over 1000 million years.
The history of this Crimson Dragon City is enough to witness the succession of ten world lords.
The city was also incredibly vast and ancient, yet it possessed a profound sense of life that unconsciously awed people. A group of people flew rapidly through the city, admiring the scenery, weaving between the aircraft and the flying residents.
The location for this trainee mercenary assessment was the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's base on the edge of Crimson Dragon City, a high mountain.
The mountains are covered with lush vegetation and dotted with villas and mansions. The area surrounded by waterfalls at the foot of the eastern mountain is the entrance to the "Red Dragon World".
After entering, Suk and his group of ten were greeted by a staff member. The staff member pointed to a wide waterfall in the distance, from which a faint rumbling sound could be heard: "Go that way, the entrance to the Crimson Dragon World is behind the waterfall."
"The waterfall is the gateway to the world, how creative!" Saki exclaimed.
"Yes, it's said that the history of this waterfall is even longer than that of the current Crimson Dragon City," the staff member said with a smile. "It is said that hundreds of millions of years ago, the then master of Crimson Dragon Star fought a great battle with a powerful enemy, which almost turned the entire planet upside down. After killing that powerful enemy, the severely wounded master of Crimson Dragon Star specially buried the body of that powerful enemy under the waterfall and even built a world. I wonder if it was to commemorate this battle."
"They've been buried for hundreds of millions of years; even a realm lord's corpse should be completely decomposed by now," a staff member casually remarked. "Of course, these are all legends; nobody knows if they're true."
Suk nodded and led everyone directly toward the waterfall at the foot of the mountain in the distance. During this process, they also saw other people who came to participate in the trainee mercenary assessment. Some of them came from certain forces and were in groups. They even saw a spaceship with hundreds of young men and women disembarking at once and being sent over by a leader of the cosmic class.
"Those forces all treat the trainee mercenary assessment as a training ground for their elites," Eloi said. In fact, she was no different. However, compared to those young elites of organizations who had no choice but to risk their lives, she was much more precious. She was their only successor, and Bubble didn't want her to die young. Even if it meant taking risks, she had to be fully prepared.
"Don't be fooled by the large number of people. It would be a miracle if half of these young elites survived." Zuo Mu shook his head. Over the years, he had seen a lot in the killing field and knew many of the inside stories of how these organizations ruthlessly and coldly cultivated their young elites. Therefore, like Suk Eloi, he didn't really like joining those so-called forces, unless it was a particularly powerful and attractive force that offered him sufficiently generous conditions and treatment.
Suk and the others behind saw that the people in front disappeared completely after passing through the waterfall, as if there was a bottomless pit behind the waterfall.
Saki glanced around again, but didn't see the purple-haired woman Rika's group, and was somewhat disappointed.
Following the crowd into line, it was soon Suk's turn with his group of ten. "We're here to participate in the space apprentice mercenary assessment."
"Beep." The signal scanned through Suk and his group of ten. Only after hearing the beep indicating their identities had been confirmed did the guards part the path. "Go in."
With a thunderous roar, a silver waterfall hundreds of meters wide cascaded down from the height, splashing up countless waves and creating a misty spray.
Suk and the others entered the waterfall. Inside, there was a wide passage carved out by man. At the end of the passage was a cold, black iron gate, more than 20 meters high and 6 or 7 meters wide. A man and a woman in black uniforms stood in front of the gate and looked over.
One of the men immediately spoke up: "Adventurers, I believe you are all aware of the dangers of the world you are about to enter. If you regret it now, you can still withdraw!"
"We are ready, please open the door," Suk said calmly.
"Then I wish you a safe passage." With a creak, the two of them together pushed open the black iron door.
However, only a narrow gap was visible, just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The man then said to Suk and the others, "The Crimson Dragon World is inside. Let's go in."
A stream of light leaked out from the iron gate, its bubble-like brilliance reflecting in the eyes of Suk and the others, causing them to hold their breath slightly. The mysterious and unknown light made it impossible to see what lay behind it.
"Let's go." Suk looked at the others around him, and then everyone stretched out their hands, one holding another, because if they didn't hold hands, they would be scattered in different places when they entered the Crimson Dragon World.
First, several ninth-level Constant Star Guards stepped into the stream of light one after another, followed by Suk, Eloi, and Zuo Mu, and then several more ninth-level Constant Star Guards.
Silently.
The ten people disappeared completely as they entered the stream of light.
The two people at the entrance of "Peng" closed the black iron gate again.
Meanwhile, in a place incredibly far from Crimson Dragon Star, lies an incomparably vast divine kingdom.
"The 10081 era is finally coming to an end." A burly figure, clad entirely in crimson scale armor with only his fiery red pupils, capable of burning everything, and whose aura subtly distorted and shook the space, gazed toward the direction of Crimson Dragon Star and muttered to himself.
"Jiuyan, it has been a hundred million years since that battle ended. I really miss you. But I will fulfill your last wish. This is the promise we made to each other back then."
"Just watch quietly."
