Chapter 475: Chapter 357: An Unexpected Candidate_3

After Evans Graham’s news spread, a young man dressed in luxurious clothing, accompanied by servants, approached Glenn Mitchell.

"Glenn Mitchell, I know your abilities. However, this is the Capital, and even among the Dragon and Snake List, it’s difficult to get by without money. I can buy the examiner’s question for you, but on one condition, you must escort and protect me during the Dragon and Snake List!"

Glenn Mitchell was drawing water from the well. He filled two large wooden buckets and picked them up before responding with a single word, "Scram!"

The young man in luxurious clothing sneered and left with his men. They visited several other places where powerful disciples from impoverished backgrounds resided. Most of these people accepted his conditions.

Glenn Mitchell was just an exception.

...

"Master—" Andrew Oamond rushed in and cursed loudly, "Evans Graham is inhumane! Not only is he openly selling the exam, but selling it once was not enough! He even released news that the Dragon and Snake List will be divided into three rounds, and he plans to sell them three times!"

Owen Bertram repeatedly praised, "What a talent! Why isn’t such a talent in the Summit Metropolitan Office? If I had such a financial officer, the Summit Defense Line would never run out of funds, and I wouldn’t have to rack my brains trying to raise money!"

Andrew Oamond: ?

Owen Bertram smiled and waved his hand, "Enough about that. Andrew, have you inquired how’s the chief examiner’s business?"

"It’s booming!" Andrew Oamond was still indignant, "Outside Evans Graham’s house, a long queue has been lined up. The first round of exam questions costs 30,000 Spirit Jades each. He shamelessly said that it was fair to everyone; 30,000 for the disciples from poor families, and 30,000 even for the First Assistant’s son."

"Isn’t Evans Graham afraid that someone will buy the exam and leak it?"

"No, the old fellow still has some skills. The exam papers have prohibitions on them, which can only be read by the person involved. After reading, they will automatically disappear, and an Oath Spirit Spell is attached to prevent spreading to others."

Andrew Oamond was anxious for him, "Master, what are you waiting for? It’s just 30,000 Spirit Jades. Others have already bought them. If you don’t buy them, you’ll be at a disadvantage in the Dragon and Snake List!"

Owen Bertram curled his lips, "Of course, I can afford the 30,000 Spirit Jades, but I don’t feel good about it."

"This..."

Owen Bertram suddenly squinted and asked, "Andrew, can our South Prison Town Comforting Office...or rather, mastering Lane, cover things up in the Capital? What if, and I mean if, I commit a minor offense in the Capital, will I be arrested by Hassan, or the local police?"

Feeling ominous, Andrew Oamond panicked, "Master, master, what are you trying to do? Don’t mess around, we’re under the Emperor’s feet now..."

Owen Bertram waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble. It’s just some petty theft at most. Can Master Lane, a Seventh-Level master, not handle such trivial matters?"

Andrew Oamond was speechless, "It depends on what you’re trying to steal. If it’s the exam questions from the inspector’s gatehouse..."

Owen Bertram said, "Think about it, even though Evans Graham is selling the exam openly, it’s still illegal. If it’s really stolen, can he report it to Hassan? What will he say? ’My home has been burglarized—what was lost? The Dragon and Snake List’s exam questions!’"

Andrew Oamond didn’t know how to dissuade him, so he just repeated, "Don’t mess around..."

...

In the past few days in the Capital, Owen Bertram had gathered clear information on the internal defense mechanisms of the city.

Internal defense measures are mainly designed to guard against evil energy, monsters, the Demon Clan, ghost spirits, and other various unique cultivators. The entire Capital is covered by a complete great formation; Inside the City, roads crisscross and divide the city into several "districts." In the center of each district, a tall "Iconic Tower" is built.

A scale weight-shaped "Town Stone" engraved with special runes is suspended high inside. If an invasion of foreign beings occurs within a district, cutting the rope and releasing the Town Stone creates a shock wave, which can cause massive damage to the invading creatures both above and below the ground. Those who are not powerful enough can be killed instantly.

In essence, the entire defense system of the Capital has a profound foundation, almost impregnable. Therefore, disasters frequently occur in the Great Wu territories, but the Capital has hardly experienced any turmoil so far.

However, Owen Bertram did not intend to use Lord or the Mesmerizing Demon to cause trouble. Instead, he sent out the Divine Heavenly Soldier. Even out of "respect" for the Capital, he provided his own Flying Sword Object System to further enhance the Divine Heavenly Soldier’s strength. The Ancient Sword and Flying Sword Object System combination were like a tiger with wings!

It is said that many years ago, there were restrictions and inspections on various Mechanical Puppets in the Capital. However, those noble families had many Mechanical Puppets for their use, and Hassan was always holding them back. Gradually impatient, they jointly petitioned the Emperor to repeal the defense measures against Mechanical Techniques...

The dark night with a strong wind— is perfect for carrying out the plan!

The Divine Heavenly Soldier had quietly appeared in the shadows outside Evans Graham’s mansion. It simply stood there motionless, and because there was no aura, it was easily overlooked by cultivators, especially the Grandmasters who trusted their own perceptions more.

The old gatekeeper guarded the side entrance, looking out as the queue from the daytime had disappeared. He looked back at the gatehouse, where there were nearly a hundred sets of exam questions left... He couldn’t help but grumble in a hoarse voice, "These poor ghosts, there are so many participants in the Dragon and Snake List, and they haven’t even sold five hundred sets in one day."
