Chapter 14: The second mission, City-state of Gusteco!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Noon of the next day.
After yesterday’s intercourse, the intimacy between the two had reached a peak.
After reading the history of the Dragon Clan, John began to ask in his heart:
“System, since the loyalty has already reached, when will my second mission begin?”
John placed the books on the table. At this moment, his expression was as usual.
These books about the history of the Dragon Clan could only tell him what had happened to the Dragon Clan in the past. As for increasing his strength, it was very limited.
And his main strength increase depended on the system. If he wanted to become stronger, he could only keep snatching princesses.
However, since last night until now, the system still had no reaction.
If the system suddenly changed its mind, even John would be at a loss in this world.
There were still countless powerful existences in this world, especially the demons and angels that were temporarily sleeping in the spiritual world.
Through the books, John learned that these spiritual bodies had probably come to this world more than once.
Who knew what they would do the next time they came to this world? With his current strength, it was difficult to guarantee his survival in this disaster.
However, at this moment…
“Ding! Congratulations host, Mission Guide completed. The system has automatically issued a new mission — snatch the First Princess of the City-state of Gusteco!”
“Mission requirement: within a month, snatch City-state of Gusteco to the Valley of Fire Dragon. The faster the mission is completed, the higher the completion rate will be, and the rewards will be more generous. If the mission fails, the punishment will be calculated according to the system’s evaluation.”
Just as John was thinking, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
In the beginning, when he heard the mission, John was extremely happy, but the system’s next words stunned him.
City-state of Gusteco!
Was the system trying to trick him?!
John’s face moved slightly.
As for why?
That was the City-state of Gusteco!
There were countless books in the castle. Not only were there books about the dragon race, but there were also records about the human race.
The City-state of Gusteco was a city-state formed from hundreds of towns.
Although it was located at the border of the central region, compared to other empires and kingdoms, it had lost quite a bit in terms of name.
However, one had to know that each of the city-states in the City-state of Gusteco was extremely powerful!
Excluding the monster countries in the central region, the national strength of the City-state of Gusteco could definitely be considered one of the best. These were not the key points.
Their military strength was also abnormally terrifying. Because the country was located in the southwest of the central region, they would almost always have conflicts with the Dragon Clan.
Because of this, their magic was abnormally powerful. There were more than a dozen mages in the entire city-state. The Dean of the Gusteco Mage Academy was even a legendary Tier-7 Grand Mage!
The threat of a Five Attributes Dragon was indeed relatively high in a country on the border. However, if he were to snatch the Princess of the City-state of Gusteco.
He would not only face an army of millions of knights. It would even be a miracle for John to be able to escape unscathed if the Grand Mage were to make a move personally.
One had to know that it was this Tier-7 Grand Mage who had once killed a Two-headed Dragon that was even higher in rank than him!
Moreover, the princess of the City-state of Gusteco, Princess Tish Gusteco, was not only the Princess of the City-state of Gusteco, but she was also the only daughter of the King and Queen!
It was not an exaggeration to say that even if someone dared to lay a finger on this princess, let alone forcefully taking her out of the country, the old king would probably use the entire country’s strength to flatten the enemy!
At that time, even if some of the countries in the central region wanted to go against the City-state of Gusteco, it would be like plucking the feathers of a wild goose and taking the skin of a wild beast!
Why would the system give him such an almost impossible mission?
More importantly, there was a time limit. There was only a month’s time!
“System, are you preparing to kill me? Am I not aware, or are you not aware that if the Grand Mage of the City-state of Gusteco really makes a move, none of us will survive!”
Thinking of this, John began to question without any hesitation. Soon after, the system also gave an explanation.
“Host, don’t worry. The system has already finished planning. A few years ago, the Princess of the City-state of Gusteco was tested to have a superb Talent for Water Magic. Now, she is studying at the Gusteco Mage Academy. Therefore, the host only needs to sneak into the Gusteco Mage Academy to have a chance to meet the target.”
“At the same time, in order to prevent the host from being discovered by the Grand Mage, the system has set a new mission requirement: In this mission, the host can not take the initiative to tell the other party of his identity. He needs to approach Princess Tish in human form. After the other party’s loyalty reaches 70%, the host can take Princess Tish away with his dragon form.”
“In this mission, the system will hide the aura of the Dragon Clan for the host. Only when he uses dragon magic will he be recognized by others.”
“Please continue to try your best to snatch more princesses!”
John was furious after hearing that.
Try your best to snatch more princesses!
Why did the system release missions so irregularly?
The first mission was easy. It was just a random country. John had chosen Amy’s country. He had thought that it would progress step by step, but now he had come to the City-state of Gusteco, a large country at the edge of the Central Region!
If he wasn’t careful, he might have walked right into the trap. If the system hadn’t said the last sentence and his dragon aura had been temporarily hidden, he would have cursed!
Moreover, he would only hide his magic aura if he didn’t use dragon magic.
If he wanted to get close to the princess, that meant that he had to learn human magic. He could only use dragon magic at a critical moment!
Fortunately, he had a high affinity for Elemental Magic, so learning human magic shouldn’t be too difficult.
Thinking of this, John felt relieved.
No matter what kind of mission the system issued, he had to complete it. Entering the Gusteco Mage Academy in human form was exactly what he planned to do.
In this way, he could bring Amy with him.
Thinking of this, John had already made up his mind. Next, he was ready to leave the Valley of Fire Dragon.
…
Three days later, a small caravan arrived near the capital of the City-state of Gusteco.
“Young master, we have arrived. The Gusteco Mage Academy is in front of us.”
The City-state of Gusteco was a country formed from a combination. Strictly speaking, there were no capitals here.
However, the Fire City, where the Gusteco Mage Academy was located, was the capital of the City-state of Gusteco in the eyes of the citizens of the city-state.
In fact, the location of the Gusteco Mage Academy was the symbol of the City-state of Gusteco!
