Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Undeterred, he nodded and said, "Please!"

"please."

Walking through the courtyard and across the front porch, in front of the main building of the city lord's mansion, a blond man sat on a stool reading a book.

Subconsciously, Fan Kou stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the blond man with suspicion, his eyes no longer showing any contempt, but full of surprise!

Fifteen Realms!

Even among the top-tier experts in 1555, only a handful would appear in 96511? Is that reasonable?

"Lord Fankou..."

Fankou's assistant also realized this and couldn't help but remind him.

Fan Kou tried his best not to show his surprise: "Top experts at the fifteenth level are indeed rare, but they are not that uncommon. One at the fifteenth level cannot change the weak nature of 96511... There is no need to panic."

He straightened his clothes once more and slowly walked up.

The one pretending to read a book was, of course, the exemplary knight Bai Lin.

He looked up at the person approaching slowly, frowned, and asked, "And who are you, sir?"

Fan Kou bowed slightly to show respect: "Hello, Lord of Tianwang City. My name is Fan Kou, from Community 1555... I am here on behalf of my general to greet your leader."

Bai Lin glanced at his entourage: "You came over to say hello, but didn't even bring a gift?"

Gift?

A five-figure community wants gifts? They probably want to be punched.

Suppressing his impatience, Fan Kou smiled and said, "Of course there are gifts, they will be delivered shortly, I guarantee you will be satisfied. Lord City Lord, I presume... you must be the Great General of 96511?"

Bai Lin shook his head: "Of course not! I am incompetent and immoral, how dare I command 96511? Our general is someone else, I am just an insignificant subordinate under him."

"..."

"..."

Fan Kou and the others remained silent upon hearing this.

What are the conditions?

A level 15 expert is just an insignificant subordinate, right?

Even General Song wouldn't dare to make such a boastful statement!

Fan asked, "May I ask your honorable name?"

"My name is Bai Lin."

Bai Lin introduced himself and, looking at the people before him, continued, "Gentlemen, you wish to visit my general, but it may be a few days later. General Zuo is very busy and probably won't have time to receive you... We have other distinguished guests arriving today, so please stay at the guesthouse for a few days!"

"How rude!"

"How rude! People from 96511 are far too arrogant!"

Before Fan Kou could speak, the person behind him couldn't hold back and spoke first.

Fan Kou's gaze slowly turned cold.

He scrutinized Bai Lin and said, “Mr. Bai Lin, 96511 borders our 1555, so we are true neighbors. We have come with sincerity, and it is probably inappropriate for you to treat us like this! As for our distinguished guest… I don’t understand, what kind of distinguished guest is worth your attention so much that you have to make me, your neighbor, wait!”

Bai Lin sensed his threat but didn't care.

He smiled slightly and said, "All guests are guests, and there is no distinction of rank, but there is a distinction of order. My two guests arrived before you, so naturally they should be received first. Mr. Fan, please be understanding."

Fankou didn't want to be tolerant; he wanted to explode!

At that moment, footsteps suddenly rang out.

Fan Kou turned his head and saw a group of people filing in. They had horns on their heads, tails trailing behind their legs, and shiny scales on their necks and wrists, making them look like a dragon clan.

Let's take another look at the leader—

No.

Not only the leader, but three of these dragon people who appeared out of nowhere have reached the fifteenth level of cultivation!

Chapter 305 Fan Kou was completely out of the loop.

"Mr. Bai Lin, I have long admired you."

The dragon people, who entered in a flurry of activity, showed no arrogance whatsoever; they bowed politely. The smile on the face of the elder at the head of the group, who was at the fifteenth realm, even appeared somewhat obsequious.

Fankou believes that his perception is incorrect.

How could a top expert possibly show a fawning expression?

But he couldn't find any other words to more accurately describe the old man's condition, so he immediately held his breath and sat up straight.

“Master Long, I have long admired your name.”

Dragon Strategist...

Fan Kou's heart skipped a beat when he heard Bai Lin address the old man.

The Dragon Community holds high positions of power and boasts numerous renowned figures. Even among these heroes, the Dragon Strategist's reputation is not to be underestimated.

The assistant was even more surprised. She said softly, "This... how could this be? Ever since the Dragon Princess took the throne, the Dragon Strategist hasn't been involved in any affairs. How could he..."

Fan Kou shook his head slightly, signaling her to calm down.

Is this time of year still considered normal?

The promised day has arrived, the divine system has collapsed, and no one knows what will happen next! Under such circumstances, even for the sake of maintaining stability, the Dragon Strategist should step in!

only……

"Why did Long Ceshi come here? Did he take a liking to the location of 96511?"

"Do not."

"If it were merely a matter of geographical location, why would he need to personally intervene? And judging from his demeanor, it seems more like..."

Asking for help from others.

"Oh my, Dragon Strategist, you're here so early?"

As Fan Kou pondered, another voice rang out.

He turned his head and saw a colossal creature, as tall as an iron tower and over three meters high, bowing its body and lowering its head as it passed through the doorway and walked in front of the crowd.

This behemoth made no attempt to conceal its cultivation level; instead, it arrogantly and brazenly unleashed its magical power.

It's the fifteenth realm again!

"The 'Earth-Splitting Elephant Man' of the 168 Community..."

Fan Kou lowered his head, looking at the small figure in front of the Earth-Splitting Elephant-Man.

It was a little girl with cat ears, who didn't seem threatening at all.

Fan Kou was a man of wide experience and knowledge; while others might not know the origins of this cat-like girl, he saw right through her at a glance.

This is one of the incarnations of the Cat General from the 168 Community!

In terms of status alone, the cat loli is slightly higher than the dragon strategist. After all, one is a general's avatar, while the other is merely a former official of the previous dynasty.

But why are the two of them here at the same time?

Bai Lin crouched down, revealing a smile: "Cat Loli, you've arrived?"

"I'm coming."

The cat-like girl flicked her tail and looked around: "Where is General Zuo! I've come all this way, why didn't he come to greet me?"

"General Zuo has important business to attend to, and specifically asked me to entertain you two here."

"Huh? He's got quite the airs! He's just a lowly general from a five-figure community!"

The cat-like girl was extremely dissatisfied!

Long Strategist also showed some indignation, flicking his sleeve and saying, "This little Zuo is getting more and more unscrupulous!"

"..."

Looking at the "performance" in front of him, Fankou felt only fear!

The cat girl and the dragon strategist seemed quite displeased, yet they exuded affection and respect. This is truly something to ponder.

Who is this "General Zuo"?

What would it be like if the Dragon Strategist and the Cat Loli visited 1555 together right now?

I'm afraid General Song would have started preparing a month in advance. It would have been a matter of course to renovate the entire city and to give it a grand reception with all his subjects on the day of the event. It would have been much more appropriate for him to do something like "General Zuo," who simply cleared the streets, put up banners, and then sent a subordinate to sit on a stool, reading a book while waiting.

No sincerity at all!

During the conversation, Long Ceshi noticed Fan Kou and his group standing to the side, trembling with fear.

He smiled and asked, "Is this... one of General Zuo's newly recruited subordinates?"

Bai Lin waved his hand: "This is Mr. Fan Kou, the envoy of the 1555 Community, right?"

"Oh……"

Long Ceshi nodded slowly, then asked, "The 1555 Community?"

Bai Lin succinctly replied: "The neighbor next door."

"I see."

Long Ceshi immediately lost interest. He nodded to Fan Kou, showing a slight sign of goodwill; Fan Kou was apprehensive and quickly bowed his head in return.

Bai Lin said, "Gentlemen, General Zuo instructed me to take you into the 'Sea of ​​Reflections' for observation—would you like to eat first, or enter the 'Star Chart' first?"

Fan Kou pricked up his ears!

Long Strategist pondered for a moment: "Don't rush to eat, the Sea of ​​Reflection is the most important thing. Let's enter the Star Chart!"

Bai Lin nodded and took out a star chart from his pocket: "The star chart has thirty sides, each of which connects to a different node. You two, I'm going to take you to node number 3 now. It has been occupied by the Hesei clan, so we must proceed with caution."

Long Ceshi, Mao Luoli, and the others straightened up and nodded calmly.
