Tang Shaoyang raised his right hand, signaling them to listen to him to the end, "Listen to me to the end." He said, noticing Rosalie and Zowen were about to interrupt him.
The two women glared at him sullenly, waiting for the explanation even though they knew the answer. They just did not want to accept the reality.
"I will be blunt, and you have to be honest with yourself!" Tang Shaoyang had a solemn look, meeting the two women's eyes, "You two are just going to be a burden to me. Especially when it comes to a similar situation at the lake. I can't fight while worrying for you guys all the time."
"It's not too late for you guys to follow me later after you two finish the trial. But before taking the trial, I want you two to get the class and also the talent from the smart base. That way, your chance of clearing all the waves will be higher."
They knew clearing all the waves in the trial would result in a higher rank reward. He wanted them to take the talent and also the class before taking the trial, so they had a high chance of clearing the full waves for a better reward. This was the reason he did not allow them to take the trial right now.
"You can follow me to the higher floor or set up your own team after you finish the trial. I am not going to forbid you to explore the tower but not until you can protect yourself!"
There was nothing Zowen could say. She could not refute him since it was the truth, and she did not want to ruin her future path by taking the trial half-heartedly. Rosalie accepted it quicker than Zowen, nodding her head, and answered, "I understand. What about Areth? Will he follow you?"
"No. Areth will go with you guys back to the capital. He also needs class and talent. A mere bloodline is not enough if he really wants to fight the Virandal Empire." Tang Shaoyang shook his head, telling them that he would leave alone. "Get the dwarf to make his equipment as well."
After that, he turned toward the teenager, "Do you have an objection? I don't want to force you to do something you don't want, but this is the best path for your future if you want to realize your vengeance."
"No. I will follow your arrangement, Sir Tang," Areth did not understand most of the conversation, but he understood one thing he would be a burden to Sir Tang if he decided to follow Sir Tang. Even Sister Zowen and Lady Rosalie would be a burden to him, let alone him who was far weaker than the two women.
"Good. You will join the dwarf back to the empire."
Tang Shaoyang went out of the dwarf's underground dwelling. The dwarf home was inside the mountain. They dug the mountain, forming big tunnels, and a cavern for their houses. There was nothing special compared to the dwarf from the Ortis Continent who could make an underground city.
He came out of the cave, summoning the Skelly Family and the Skeleton army. They would escort the dwarf, and of course, he added more spirits into the escort formation. Three Grade SS Spirit: Aerelion the Infernal Wyvern, Bronson the Executioner, and Galeon the Great Demon. That was not the end, he added ten more Grade S+ Spirits, also Greed and Wrath would return with the group.
There was no need for him to disguise himself as a summoner anymore. Wrath and Greed would be more useful to help the main force to fight the Divine Church, or maybe help the expedition team to capture more territories. His two companions were not strong enough to help him to fight the strong enemy.
An hour later, over three hundred dwarves came out of the cavern. Chief Hulgem led his people accompanied by the ten elders. The atmosphere was quiet and tense because of Aerelion and Wrath. The Golden Dragon showed off his true form because of Aerelion. The dragon did not want to lose out against the wyvern, but Aerelion mostly ignored the juvenile dragon's provocation.
The dwarf acted more cautious, not just to the two big creatures but also to the demon and the other spirits. Deep inside, Chief Hulgem was glad that he chose to submit rather than fight. His people would be slaughtered by these spirits without fighting back for sure. They would not be able to kill one of them even if they tried to fight back.
As everyone was ready, Wrath and Greed led the group. The two were the only ones who knew the direction to Starter City #4.
Rosalie kissed Tang Shaoyang's cheek and said, "Just wait, I will catch you up in no time."
Tang Shaoyang did not doubt that because she was already Myth Rank. After getting her class and also the talent, it should not be an issue for her to clear the trial with a perfect clear. He took the last Dragon Essence and handed it to her, "Take this with you. This will help you a lot in the trial."
"I am thinking of taking bloodline as my reward for the Epic Rank Trial," Rosalie hesitated while taking the Dragon Essence, "Can I have two different bloodlines?"
That was a good question. Bloodline was different from class and talent for sure. Who knew there might be a negative effect of having two different bloodlines in one body. Tang Shaoyang did not know the answer.
[Don't worry about that. If she gets a stronger bloodline, it will override the weaker bloodline she has. However, if she gets a weaker bloodline as the reward, her current bloodline will be elevated to a higher rank bloodline. It's a good idea for her to take the Dragon Essence, especially if she is lucky to awaken the Dragon Bloodline. It's a strong bloodline, but imagine if her Dragon Bloodline gets an upgrade? That will be amazing.]
Fortunately, he had Karoen who knew a lot of things. The Voidknight might be restricted by the system not to tell him the advanced knowledge, but Karoen could still share the fundamental knowledge.
Tang Shaoyang put the vial in her hand while telling her what Karoen just said.
