Chapter 804: Chapter 804

After making the necessary arrangements, Du You did not waste any time at home but took Shaliya’s collected materials and headed north with Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha.

"Master, will we be able to find what we need this time?"

Du You nodded slightly, "We might not find everything at once, but finding some should not be a problem. There are no other Professionals scouring this world, and the world is vast, so there are some things that we can look forward to."

After a pause, Du You continued, "Additionally, about the advancement items for Summoned Beasts, I have some ideas." The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"What ideas? It seems that improving summoning-type skills is more difficult than improving general ones," Lin Yucha, who had specialized in such studies, commented, in contrast to her sister who didn’t like researching much.

"I have an idea that perhaps the Heavenly Disaster Giant Beasts in the world of Giant Beasts can help improve my Summoned Beasts. These Giant Beasts, whether they are Heavenly Disaster or Guardian types, are all very famous, especially to the locals. Moreover, the strength of these Giant Beasts is all above tier four, which is exactly what we need."

"That’s true, but those Giant Beasts are probably not simple in terms of strength."

"That’s why I need to improve my skills in this world first," Du You said with a smile.

Of course, the strength of those Giant Beasts wasn’t simple, and although he didn’t know how many skills the Giant Beasts had or how strong they were, he could glean some insight from his own Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. Nevertheless, the sheer size of the beasts told Du You that they were certainly not easy to deal with.

While they flew, the three of them began to familiarize themselves with Kasil City. Kasil City was known as the artistic city of the Divine Flame Empire, full of a plethora of artworks and artists, with sculptures of various kinds visible on the streets.

Since the unexpected death of the previous lord of Kasil City, the Empire reclaimed the city and did not enfeoff it to any other lord, hence the place became a directly administered territory of the royal family.

Every year, a great number of artists made pilgrimages here, and many elderly artists chose to live in seclusion. After a thousand years of development, Kasil City had already become a unique artwork different from other cities.

Even the various buildings in the city had been refashioned into artworks, it was claimed.

The exhibition hall in Kasil City always housed a vast collection of items belonging to various celebrities, including many heroes who were powerful figures in history. And these items could be sold, as long as the price was right.

Of course, few would purchase these items at an inflated price unless they truly cherished them.

Besides, the auction house here often featured items from historical figures, which was the real reason Du You came here.

The myriad things Shaliya had collected over this time were not entirely useless, but there were too few of them. This time, Du You only found three items that were useful to him.

A nameless black booklet, Du You did not know what it was, but it resonated with Lin Yucha’s Shadow Mark.

There was also a black iron arrowhead, reportedly carried by a very famous God Archer from history, a gift from his mentor. Surprisingly, it did not resonate with the skills of the two sisters but with his own Dark Flame Arrow Array.

The last item was a Nanmu Shield, which actually had no defensive power of note.

But it was said to belong to an extinct noble family and bore the crest of that family as a very valuable memento. Perhaps the resonance was due to this family having produced a tier four expert in the past. In any case, this skill became linked with his Shield Spell.

Du You had no choice but to seek out items that could specifically guide and greatly enhance his skills; finding advancement items that corresponded to his own skills was challenging enough.

To increase the value of his skills, Du You had only one method at his disposal: investing a large amount of Crystal Coins.

Although after putting in Crystal Coins, he still couldn’t completely control the direction of his skills’ advancement, at least the power and quality of his skills would improve significantly.

So on this trip, besides collecting items, increasing his personal Crystal Coins was also essential.

"After we leave Kasil City, let’s head further north. There is a hunting ground suitable for us," Du You glanced at the map, following a route he had already planned.

Spending several days on the road, Du You also had to land at cities along the way to declare his identity, a necessary procedure when traveling within the Empire, as directly mandated by the royal family.

Lacking the strength to oppose the royal family, Du You had to comply with the regulations. Because of this, it took Du You five days to finally reach Kasil City.

It’s worth noting that after reaching tier four, the main quests had disappeared. Professionals above tier four hardly ever encountered main quests in any Other World, except under special circumstances. The two reasons why Professionals above tier four are considered the backbone of all Professionals are these.

One is that they can exist indefinitely in any world without risk of assimilation. The other is the absence of main quests; they can return to Earth at will, and thus cannot be trapped.

Of course, crossing worlds above tier four incurs a toll. As a tier four, Du You needed a Crystal Coin per transit, a price he had to pay each time, making their existence very flexible.

From tier four onward, there was no need to worry about someone being trapped and unable to leave a world. Except in the Derived World, when the Derived World underwent its cycle of renewal, only then would it completely obliterate them.

Time was no longer of the essence for Du You. Five days later, he arrived outside Kasil City, having already announced his intention to visit before his arrival.

Therefore, after Du You landed and revealed his identity, there were attendants immediately ready to welcome him. "Welcome, esteemed Earl, please follow me. I will serve as your attendant for the next few days. You can call me Lula," said the attendant.

Nobility was nobility, with privileges wherever they went. As a member of the nobility, Du You enjoyed this aspect. Tossing a gold coin to Lula, Du You said, "Take me to the inn first. Starting tomorrow, I intend to view all the artwork in the city, and you will serve as my guide."

Lula caught the gold coin and stowed it away with a discreet grace, replying respectfully, "As you wish."
