First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: What’s Above the Ninth Tier?

Orion considered it for a moment, "Hmm, let’s go to the fourth ring. We can start by visiting the Adventurer Guild."

Edgar nodded his head, "That’s expected. Which young man wouldn’t want to visit the place where the Kingdom’s most hotheaded people gather? That’s a nice place to start with."

Orion agreed with him, and they both stepped towards the luxurious carriage waiting for them outside, finding Lucan already seated in the driver’s spot, whistling cheerfully to himself.

"Morning, Young Master! Are we heading somewhere exciting today?" Lucan asked enthusiastically, turning to face Orion with a bright grin.

"Good morning, Lucan," Orion replied with a faint smile. "We’re heading to the Adventurer Guild first. Focus on the road and don’t get distracted by the beauties here."

Lucan’s grin widened confidently. "Of course! Who do you think I am? I’m a professional driver! I won’t get lost this easily."

"That’s what worries me," Orion sighed dramatically, making Edgar chuckle lightly. Both of them stepped into the carriage.

Lucan pouted briefly but quickly shook it off, guiding the horses gently onto the street. As the carriage smoothly rolled forward, Orion sat comfortably across from Edgar, looking out the window with anticipation.

"This carriage is so much better than our previous one," he sighed and said, feeling as if a commoner had become a noble all of a sudden.

Edgar chuckled, "Master didn’t want to attract too much attention, so he used a normal one before."

Orion nodded his head and looked out of the window. The streets of the second ring were pristine, lined with impeccably maintained gardens and luxurious estates just like yesterday.

Every building they passed exuded grace, their grand entrances guarded by vigilant warriors who subtly observed all passing traffic. It was clear that each mansion was a powerhouse of influence and prestige inside the Kingdom.

"Have you been here often, Uncle Edgar?" Orion asked, curiosity evident in his voice. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

Edgar nodded thoughtfully. "I’ve accompanied Master Eldric countless times to events hosted by the nobility. Each noble house in this ring is a force to be reckoned with. Power, influence, and politics intertwine heavily here."

"You see those guards?" He pointed at the guards stationed outside the estates of Dukes.

Orion nodded his head.

"Most of them are either Tier Seven or Tier Eight experts," he said.

Orion raised an eyebrow, "Huh? But I remember Grandpa telling me that Tier 4 to Tier 6 Awakeners are the backbone of a kingdom. And Tier 7 to Tier 9 powerhouses are national treasures."

Edgar chuckled, "He probably didn’t want to scare you and told you about the smaller kingdoms. After all, Thunderpeak is one of the strongest kingdoms of Humans."

Orion softly nodded his head. From the looks of it, he had underestimated the noble houses of this Kingdom.

"Uncle Edgar, what level is above the Ninth Tier?" he asked what had been on his mind. He hadn’t found information about this even in his dragon inheritance. But Lumi told him it was due to his young age; as he slowly grew older, more and more of his inheritance would be unlocked.

Edgar smiled mysteriously, "That is too far away from you, Young Master. No point in thinking about that, or you might get discouraged from the sheer strength gap."

"Oh, come on, I’m not that weak. Just tell me," Orion insisted on knowing.

Edgar gently shook his head, "It’s for your own good, Young Master. The absolute majority of humans can’t cross the level above the Ninth Tier. It’s not only due to the absurd talent required but it is also affected by the Mana Channels opened in the first Nine Tiers."
