I looked at Langley tightly and said firmly: "That's right... I've made up my mind, I'm going to study at this Arbitration Academy!"

  Lang Keli Duosite shook his head and exclaimed, "Good heavens... you have no idea how hard it is to get into the Arbitration Academy, don't think that just because you want to go in, you can!"

  "In my puzzled gaze, Lang Keli Duosite explained: 'Every year, the number of people taking the Arbitration Academy exam reaches tens of thousands, but... only one or two can actually get in!'"

  Pausing for a moment, Langley Kestrel continued: "You may not know... that no one has been able to pass the entrance exam for Arbitration Academy for four consecutive years!"

  I stared at Langkawi in astonishment, really unable to understand what this Arbitration Academy was all about. Every year they only recruit a few people, and sometimes they can't even find anyone for several years in a row. Aren't they anxious?

  Lang Keli Duosite continued solemnly: "And... the mortality rate of the Arbitration Academy's exam has reached 80% or more, that is to say, even if you don't pass the exam, eight out of ten people will die. In the most extreme case, more than 14,000 people participated in the competition, but less than 1,000 people survived and walked out, and these people were those who failed in the previous rounds!"

  Looking at Lang Keli Duosite's serious expression, I knew... he absolutely wasn't trying to scare me, but... this opportunity was too rare, I couldn't retreat just because of fear of death!

  After being trained by Lang Qiliduo, I realized that the difference between having a teacher and not having one is huge. With Lang Qiliduo's help, my efforts in one month surpassed what ordinary people can achieve in a year. Thinking about it... Bukenna Tata was so young! Why did he have such incredible strength? I think... this has something to do with his teacher, right?!

  No matter how intelligent I am, when learning unknown things, it is like a blind man touching an elephant and cannot accurately judge.

  But if there's a teacher, it's different. He already knows what the elephant looks like, he can show me directly and let me understand more intuitively. With the guidance of a good teacher, it's absolutely twice the result with half the effort!

  Gently placing the letter on the table, I looked at Langkeldor with a resolute face and said: "Teacher... I've already made up my mind. I'm going to take the entrance exam for Arbitration Academy, and I won't regret it!"

  Lang Keli Duosite stared at me tightly, and after a long time, he cautiously said: "Okay... Since you must go, I won't say anything else. However... You must remember that when you see something that can't be done, you must make a quick decision and quit the exam immediately. You should know that to succeed, it's not just about the Arbitration Academy, there are many other paths for you to choose from!"

  I nodded, as if I had agreed to Langkeld's request, but in fact, I was just comforting him. Without the determination to die trying, how could I possibly get into such a difficult school? I had already made up my mind that if I couldn't get in, then I would rather die than live on and be unable to help the dwarves take their revenge - what's the point of living anyway?

  Three years have passed, and my progress has indeed been rapid. But who knows the extent of Bukenna's progress? I must accelerate my pace; if I don't kill him within a day, my heart will not be at peace for even a single day.

  I learned from Lang Keli Duosute that the Arbitration Academy will not start recruiting students for another eight months. Since this is the case, I plan to travel around the mainland during this period of time, especially to the Fragrance Empire, which is a must-visit destination.

  After parting with Lang Keli Duosite, I stayed in the city for two more days. After figuring out what I wanted to do, I put on the scarlet robe of an apprentice mage that my teacher had given me, grasped the sturdy wooden staff in my hand, and set off on my journey. Now I'm a mage... haha... an apprentice mage who only knows how to cast fireballs!

  Mages are a very rare profession, first because magic is difficult to learn, and secondly... schools that teach magic all charge very high tuition fees, ordinary people can't afford it, just like the Hami Hagen introduced by Lang Keli Duosite, the annual tuition fee is 100 purple crystal coins, I absolutely can't afford it.

  Wandering back and forth between cities, slowly approaching the border of the Fragrant Empire. Although our battlefield is also in a border area, it's not actually the border, but rather a large city that is relatively close to the border.

  A week later, I arrived in another relatively large city - Green City. This is a medium-sized city that is about half the size of Sunrise City, but it's also very prosperous because it's a border area, unlike Sunrise City which is desolate. No wonder, after all, there is a battle going on in Sunrise City, who would go there for no reason?

  When I arrived in town it was already noon, the first thing I did was to find an inn, which not only provided some simple food but also allowed me to drink spicy good wine!

  I've unknowingly grown fond of liquor, it's really a good thing, can make you forget all your troubles, and... use the stimulation of liquor on the body to release inner pain.

  But... drinking is not my main goal for coming here, the tavern is a place where information is most developed, as long as you order a cup of wine and sit in the corner, all the intelligence you want will automatically enter your ears.

  Taverns have always been a gathering place for hunters, adventurers, thieves and mercenaries, it's common knowledge that once people get drunk, they become talkative, and secrets that are usually kept confidential can easily be revealed, and I'm here to listen to these rumors.

  Suddenly... a voice rang out beside my ear: "Hey... have you guys heard, does anyone know where the dwarves are gathering now? Haha... tell me, if we go there and snatch back a batch of dwarven-forged weapons, how much money can we sell them for?"

  "A deep and solid voice interface asked: 'Really or fake... aren't dwarves already extinct? How did another dwarf come out?!'"

  The voice that had started speaking continued, "Of course it's true! This is the personal bodyguard of the Fourth Prince of the Fragrant Empire saying this. Apparently... they obtained the precious forging manual from those dwarves!"

  He paused for a moment, and the voice continued: "However... it is said that they used up all their methods, but could not open that iron book, nor could they destroy it. So... they are going to go to the dwarf village again, to see if there are any remaining dwarves, and ask them how to open the iron book."

  Hahaha...

  A loud, hearty laugh burst out, excitedly saying: "Heavens... we can't fall behind now! If we can get our hands on a dwarf-made weapon, heh heh... I can finally throw away this broken sword of mine!"

  As the few people spoke, the entire tavern of over a hundred people became excited. Seeing this situation, my heart suddenly cooled down. Oh God... if so many people go, then even if the dwarf is hidden in the most secret place, it will still be dug out by these guys. After all... how can there not be any trace left?

  Glancing at these guys, heavens... These guys are at least qualified as mid-level warriors, that's absolutely not something dwarves can handle!

  Suddenly I stood up, I knew...I couldn't wait any longer, I had to take the lead and rush back, tell the dwarves this news, on the one hand, let them hide the hundreds of millions of weapons they have been forging for thousands of years, don't make it easy for these guys, on the other hand, also let them hide well, don't be detected, once detected, then the dwarves will really be wiped out!

  Next... I started a big shopping spree in the city, and when all of my purple crystal coins were spent except for five, the food on the streets had already been bought out by me.

  I didn't dare to slack off, I quickly left the city of Yī Lǜ and sped towards the direction of the Dwarf Village. For me, time is life, if I'm late by even a step, the dwarves might have already been wiped out!

  On the other hand, news of the dwarven village spread quickly and tens of thousands of people rushed into the wilderness without hesitation. Everyone knew that even if they found a single piece of equipment personally crafted by the dwarves, they would be set for life, and even if they didn't sell it, they could use it themselves and be proud for a lifetime.

  For a warrior, a good sword is really too important, unless he has reached the level of a Sword Saint, otherwise... A good sword is what a warrior dreams of!

  On the other hand, at the same time I set out, in the Fragrant Imperial Palace, Prince Buke Nata was personally strangling to death the guy who had leaked the news because he went to drink flower wine.

  The murderous aura overflowed as he glanced at his subordinates, Prince Buke Nata said coldly: "No way... Since the news has already leaked ahead of time, we don't have much preparation time either. Everyone pay attention, immediately go back and prepare, one hour later, we will gather at the East City Gate and set off!"

  Watching his subordinates leave quickly, Bukenna kicked the corpse at his feet a few times. It was all because of this guy's misdeeds; otherwise... they could have slowly prepared and set out a week later. But now... they had to rush full speed ahead.

  Since obtaining that treasure, my status has been rising every day, but... if I still can't open this treasure, my status will be in danger. Now the Crown Prince is constantly showing off his skills, and if I don't do something to satisfy the Emperor, the throne of the Crown Prince will be snatched away by him. Therefore... this action must succeed, it's not allowed to fail!
