A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1076 - 1062: The City Lord’s Invitation
The City Lord turned her gaze to the side after finishing her remarks: "Last week, all the marks on the Black Moon Apostles had already disappeared.
This indicates.
The Black Moon has found the true successor and no longer needs other Black Moon Apostles.
Baiyu.
Although I don't know how you passed the Black Moon Apostle's test, leading to the final selection, you are now the Chosen One of the Black Moon... After so many years of madness, the Black Moon has finally chosen a successor.
I've already discussed with the Emperor, and I'll teach you many things about Divine Techniques, but you must also take on the responsibility of being the Chosen One.
You can consider now.
If you refuse, no one will force you, but if you agree, from today, I will be your Master."
The City Lord's words are straightforward, she is obviously a woman of great fortitude.
Baiyu finally understood who the main character of today's meeting was. The old Emperor of the East Prosperity Imperial and the Third Prince were also present here because they had a good relationship with Baiyu in the past.
After all, in the Cultivation Realm.
Trust is very important.
The City Lord and Baiyu had only met a few times, so it wasn't feasible to talk trust naturally. Therefore, the City Lord directly brought in the old Emperor for assurance.
Baiyu didn't think for long before asking, "Regardless of anything, I am already the one chosen by the Black Moon. Isn't this a predetermined fact? Then what else do you want me to do?"
The City Lord cupped her chin with both hands, the stone sculpture's eyes gleaming: "It's simple, rescue the Black Moon."
"Rescue?"
Baiyu was momentarily dumbfounded.
The City Lord's tone carried a hint of excitement, someone of her Realm couldn't usually lose control of her emotions, showing this matter was very important to her.
"Yes, rescue the Black Moon. You know the Black Moon has fallen into madness, but It remains alive and unharmed.
To this day.
It is still a powerful, vibrant Divine Spirit and still belongs to humanity.
As long as It can be made to wake up and escape madness, It will become the Guardian of the world once more."
The City Lord slowly laid out her plan in her heart: "You need to make It return to clarity. But I won't demand this.
You are the chosen one by the Black Moon; I trust the Black Moon's judgment.
Just as you said, you have already connected with the Black Moon. Whether you wish to take on this responsibility or not, the enemies of the Black Moon will trouble you. But in any case, as long as you are in the Great City, you are absolutely safe."
Baiyu took a deep breath.
Next to him, the Emperor of the East Prosperity Imperial chuckled, "Baiyu, follow your inner will. The City Lord can teach you many things, but if you refuse her, it's fine too.
After all.
You wouldn't be the first to reject her; someone who previously refused still lives well."
The City Lord's stone statue turned aside, glaring fiercely at the old Emperor.
However, the elder still seemed relaxed, smiling at Baiyu: "You are one of us from East Prosperity. I will respect all your choices."
Baiyu felt touched.
The City Lord of the Great City is the strongest person on the entire Canglan Star, one could say she is akin to a local deity.
That the old Emperor could say such things at this moment, his courage is commendable.
"I am willing to learn from you. Regarding Black Moon, I also have many unclear things."
Baiyu finally expelled a breath of impure air, speaking to the City Lord.
"Good."
The City Lord's statue smiled, she clapped her hands, looking at the whole rectangular table: "This meeting is concluded in Perfection, let's adjourn. Loloya, lead Baiyu to the library."
...
After everyone dispersed.
Loloya looked at Baiyu somewhat unwillingly: "I didn't expect the City Lord to accept you as a disciple. Well then, I reluctantly guide you up."
Baiyu smiled, knowing this fellow had a typical child's mentality.
So now, with a grown-up's demeanor, he observed the child's tantrum, finding it quite adorable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Loloya instinctively felt humiliated, Baiyu's gaze seemed as if he was watching a fool.
But at the moment, she had no evidence and couldn't act out.
After leaving the grand hall of the palace, they headed left, passing through several narrow corridors, arriving at a spacious round hall.
In the center of the hall.
There was a light blue Magic Array.
Along the way, on both sides of the road, there were female guards in Feather Armor, slim and curvaceous, not a single man.
He had previously heard from Loloya and Lilia that there were no men in the Tower of Miracles.
He was the first.
And knew the City Lord only liked beauties.
Whether the female guards or the City Lord's attendants, all were stunning one-in-a-million women.
Their figures and faces flawless.
This made Baiyu suspect whether the City Lord had some special fetish, but regarding such matters, he could only conjecture.
Upon stepping onto the Magic Array.
Their figures vanished instantly, reappearing inside a towering library.
There were enormous bookshelves on both sides, extending from the bottom to the top, orderly adorned with books. In the center, there was a circular solid wood table and several exquisitely carved chairs, along with curved sofas on both sides.
The sofa's length exceeded ten meters, stretching along the bookshelf of the library.
At this moment on the sofa.
A tall, slender woman was reading.
She had her legs crossed, wearing a pair of sandals crafted from green vines, which extended onto her sleek calves, acting as straps.
She donned a pale white robe, exuding an elegant and serene aura, akin to a celestial maiden from the moon palace.
However.
Her every move was filled with majesty, making one hesitant to harbor any improper intentions.
Of course.
Her face remained blurred.
Whether dealing with the Mirage King in the Endless Sea or sitting in the library reading, the City Lord's face was always difficult to discern.
Though she clearly wasn't deliberately masking it, nor did she have anything obstructing her face.
Yet, it remained unclear.
Baiyu could only attribute it to the reason "Divine as beyond mortal gaze," having overheard that those bold enough to gaze directly at the Master of Radiance had been blinded by the Divine light emanating from Him.
Though the City Lord hadn't reached Divinity.
Yet, she already possessed preliminary divine characteristics, being the deity of the land.
"You have arrived?"
The City Lord laid aside her book, gazing at Baiyu: "It appears your Spiritual Power is strong, which is probably why the Black Moon chose you.
Excellent, a promising seedling.
If you explored on your own, within two hundred years, you could touch the threshold of the Sun Realm."
Loloya beside him was utterly incredulous: "Two hundred years? City Lord, have you become senile? How could it be two hundred years!"
"It is indeed two hundred years."
The City Lord's voice carried a hint of amusement: "What? Have you been stuck at the Eclipse Moon for so long, your mental state is now twisted?"
