With more than a month to go before the team leader departs, Ron just received news of the exchange competition.
In the past, he didn't care about being number one; he was determined to lead the team and show the academy what a textbook diving competition should be.
However, nowadays, it's necessary to exercise caution and restraint, but one also shouldn't embarrass one's supervisor.
The candidates for the competition are being prepared.
Suddenly, on the way back to his residence, Mentor Will said something else.
"Professor, please step out and clear the way for the tulips you requested..."
It turns out that after a year of development, the Tulip Merchant Guild and the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild have engaged in commercial battles of varying degrees in different regions.
On the continent, there are legendary forces guarding the land. Two legendary factions once agreed to fight each other. Due to the different degrees of conflict, the outcome could be either victory or defeat, or even life or death.
The majority of the population is human. History has proven that this avoids full-scale conflict and prevents excessive internal strife among the human race. It is quite similar to the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system in the previous world, a peculiar custom in this strange otherworldly setting...
Moreover, the matter of offering sacrifices to powerful figures is basically settled once the battle is over. Most of the time, battles between legends of the same race are mainly about determining a winner and a loser. Similarly, most legends are actually more concerned with breaking through to the level of demigod. They won't understand until they reach that level of life...
Ron tensed up immediately, even though he knew his mentor was incredibly powerful when he had him offered tulips as a sacrifice…
Mentor Will appeared very relaxed.
"Teach the younger generation a lesson, I'll be back to mentor you soon. During the exchange matches, don't give those old guys any face..."
With his mentor's words, Ron calmed down.
However, Ron did not fully understand these words.
The old man must be a legend. Legends only care about other legends. These people's disciples can be taught a lesson if they have the ability, but they cannot embarrass their mentor, Will, in front of his old friend!
Such actions, which could cause irreparable physical harm or psychological trauma, must never be tolerated.
"Yes, very good. With the decision made up, Ron selected participants at the academy the next day."
Since learning that Ron had become a disciple of a legend, the academy has entrusted all matters to him...
As time went by.
Unknown mountain ranges and sky.
Will Legend faces two legends from the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild.
Only the legendary figures present at the scene could truly understand the extent of the battle. Afterwards, all that was discovered were the awe-inspiring traces of the battle... a massive mountain range had vanished into thin air!
The month was up, and Instructor Will had already returned.
"The two younger ones are clueless."
Ron's confidence soared, and he became even more determined in his mind to make his decision.
Each kingdom has seven slots for the competition.
Ron was just being selfish; he didn't want Ward to participate so as not to upset him. Being happy was the most important thing.
Ron, Princess Sherry, and four of the other five are commoners, while the other is a nobleman named Carlisle Warner from the Warner family.
Carlisle is a guy who is single-mindedly pursuing the path of a swordsman, and when you get along with him, you feel that he has a very chivalrous demeanor.
This is truly the noble demeanor of a duke's family!
The other four civilians were two men, Maud and Monroe, and two women, Pauline and Sybil.
Ron's first criterion for selecting people is that they won't have any unpleasant experiences when getting along with them, and that their strength is truly formidable.
There's no way Ron would use underhanded tactics to select noble children for the Golden Age. With a legendary mentor around, Ron simply ignores the other noble children.
The group set off, accompanied by two master-level instructors from the academy, a man and a woman, a swordsman and a mage, Mr. Gaden and Ms. Ella.
Both teachers are approaching thirty years old, and those who can achieve the level of elemental master before the age of thirty are considered geniuses.
The two teachers were nominally assisting Ron in leading the team. This was the easiest time they had led the team to the competition. There were no troublemakers in the team, so how could it not be worry-free?
The nobles Ron, Sherry, and Carlisle brought along some maids and servants, making their group seem larger.
Halfway through the journey, Ron suggested that they leave first, as he had things to do at the competition venue.
Princess Shirley wanted to follow, but Ron said, "Let's get down to business. You can stay with the group."
There's no need for the princess to endure the long journey with them; we can take her next time. It's not suitable to bring her this time. Princess Shirley actually listened to Ron's advice; it seems she's learned from Vivian after all.
With a smile, Ron said, "See you before the tournament."
However, on the way, Princess Shirley was picking flowers inside the princess carriage. That wretched Ron, that stinky Ron...
On the other hand, Ron was indeed going to take care of important business.
Originally, there was no conflict between the mentor and the legendary Magic Crystal Merchant Guild. Ron would have gone to the hometown of the legendary space mage first, but now...
"Uncle Anuo, do you know how to get to the headquarters of the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild?"
"Young master, come with me."
It's still four people: Ron, Vivian, Wright, and Arno.
Some tasks that are not suitable for a Grandmaster can be done by Wright.
There always needs to be someone to do things, but I can't bear to let Vivian do them.
Wright has almost forgotten that he was once a bodyguard. Ever since the young master defeated him, Wright has understood his job.
The camping techniques have improved, and the remaining book publishing revenue continues to come from the Tulip Merchant Guild.
During their travels, they now have branches of the Chamber of Commerce in almost every city.
This legendary battle had a huge impact, and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce now had the potential to become the number one chamber of commerce on the mainland.
Perhaps everything was already destined when Yuna arrived and Ron's ordinary life was shattered.
After several detours, Ron and his companions arrived at Tru City, a major city in the Rich Empire.
The headquarters of the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild is located here, and other merchant guilds from various continents also have branches here. What a city where merchant guilds gather!
The Rich Empire is most famous for its subspecies of wyvern legions.
The other two major human empires are the Carlo Empire, where the Magic Queen resides, located near the Elf Forest, where some Elf magic is prevalent, and it is rumored that the royal family also knows dragon magic.
Another human race, the Balen Empire, is a nation of swordsmen. It was founded by the greatest swordsman in history and is considered a sacred place for swordsmen.
Meanwhile, other spearmen, swordsmen, and so on also rose to prominence in the Baron Empire, a swordsman's empire.
Due to the imperial environment at that time, apart from swordsmen, these people became the lowest class.
Ron's country, the Rich Empire, is an empire where humans and magical beasts coexist. It has a subspecies of dragon legions, and magical pets can be seen everywhere on the streets. The Rich Empire is adjacent to the largest magical beast forest on the continent.
The Balen Empire borders the Dwarf Kingdom, and the swords, spears, knives, and other weapons used by swordsmen are mostly made by the Dwarves.
The world is more wonderful than you imagine.
Ron is no longer surprised by the streets being full of pedestrians and magical creatures.
He parked the beast-drawn carriage he had bought in front of the headquarters of the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild.
