I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 329 - Dawn College

Chapter 329 Dawn College

Time never stopped.

After William entered the Fantasy Continent, everyone continued going about their lives in the real world as per usual. It was just that there were more people gossiping about the Supreme Pontiff of Light.

The Supreme Pontiff was as shameless as William.

He took advantage of the fame he had received from defeating the Thunder G.o.d and started to expand the Temple of Light’s influence.

All the branches of the Temple of Light in the Legendary continent started recruiting more Temple Knights and clerics.

Obtaining the t.i.tle of the strongest expert in this continent increased the influence of the Supreme Pontiff of Light. In a short period of time, the Temple of Light welcomed the addition of more than 700,000 Light element professionals.

Of course, it wasn’t that only Light element professionals had been chosen. However, they were more likely to be selected.

In addition, the Light element professionals were also more willing to join the Temple of Light.

At the same time, the construction of the Battle Energy College and the Magic Skills College in the City of Dawn was finished.

More than 100,000 teenagers from various nations and forces of the southern region had come all the way to the City of Dawn. Currently, they were waiting for the Lord of Dawn to return from the Fantasy Continent. Then, the commencement of the colleges would happen!

The day had come at last.

It had been the 24th day since William had left the City of Dawn.

As the sky darkened, a huge shadow hovered over the entire city.

All the civilians and professionals raised their heads to look at the sky.

It wasn’t a monster but the Colossal Whale that William had previously left with.

“It’s so big! Even though this is not the first time I’m seeing it, I’m still amazed.”

“Well, it’s a creature that even a mature top-notch Great Dragon has trouble killing. Anyway, I guess Prince William is back?”

Subsequently, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a dazzling bolt of lightning landed on the central plaza.

The Lord of Dawn was back!

William heaved a sigh of relief after arriving in the City of Dawn. He couldn’t help but mumble, “I’ve gained much, even though I ‘died’ three times there.

“I redeemed two Fruits of Life!

“In addition, I redeemed three Mental Strength Fruits in order to help me restore my Mental Strength to the upper limit.

“As for the last 1000 battle points, I could only redeem an Air Pistol that can be brought out of the Fantasy Continent…”

William flashed a gentle smile at all the civilians greeting him, causing many ladies to scream.

Then, he disappeared amongst the crowd. He went straight to the conference hall to have a meeting with his subordinates.

In the Fantasy Continent, he had fought for 10 days on the battlefield. He had been ‘killed’ three times by dirty tricks, but he had managed to come back alive at last.

He didn’t know if he had been placed in the most dangerous place on the battlefield.

However, 13 out of the 90 people that had gone to the Fantasy Continent didn’t return.

It was unknown whether they missed the timing of returning to their bodies and had to stay there forever, or any other situation.

In any case, they might not have the chance to return alive the next time the dimensional door opened.

During this trip, William didn’t get the chance to revisit the places that he had gone to in his previous life.

Nonetheless, since the Fruits of Life could be redeemed using Battle Points, there was no reason for him to leave the battlefield.

“Our respects to Lord William!”

“Greetings!” William waved. “Did anything happen in the city since I was gone?”

Odom was the first to stand and answer. “Our population has exceeded 1.1 million. Out of which, 300,000 are foreigners who work here and don’t have a residence permit. One hundred and eighty thousand people had come here to attend school. They are waiting for the Dawn Colleges to start the official admissions exercise!”

“The development of the East Sea Metropolis fishing industry is going rather smoothly. However, there are a lot of enormous sea beasts in the offsh.o.r.e area. Can I request for the Dawn Naval Fleet to a.s.sist in operations there to wipe them out?”

“Approved.”

“The Stormy City on Stormy Island has been expanding, yet the population there remains small. Should we relocate some civilians there? The concentration of magic particles in the air there is much higher as compared to that of a continent.”

“Approved. The legions can also live on Stormy Island whenever they are not engaged in battles.”

“My Lord, the number of Thunder Warhorses on Stormy Island has also increased. Currently, a second cavalry legion can be formed.

“The Beast City has also agreed to sell 4000 dragon blood warhorses to us, as well as 3500 griffins. It’s rather pricey though…” Lautner’s mouth twitched after saying this.

William raised his eyebrows. “How much?”

“It’ll cost a total of 8 million gold coins and 100,000 magical stones. They claim that this is their lowest price.”

“…” William fell into deep thought. That was flipping expensive! It was daylight robbery!

“How many gold coins are there in the treasure vault?” He asked.

Lautner contemplated for a moment before responding in a worried voice, “12 million gold coins and over 200,000 magical stones. My lord, you previously mentioned that legion soldiers have priority in using magical stones.

“If we buy those magical beasts, the City of Dawn will encounter issues in capital flow, and the legion soldiers will have a lack of magical stones.”

While the others were conflicted on what to do, William waved his hand. “It’s now or never. If we don’t buy the magical beasts from Beast City, other Kingdoms and empires will buy them. Send them a message now. Tell them we will buy the magical beasts.”

“But the capital flow…”

“No worries. I’ve gained much from the trip to the Fantasy Continent.” William narrowed his eyes. After all, he had managed to obtain two Fruits of Life.

(Fruit of Life]

[Quality: Legendary]

(Place of Origin: Fantasy Continent]

[Effect: Four-dimensional attributes +30]

[Effect: Intelligence +20) [Effect: Lifespan +1000 years]

[Effect: Forcibly lift all malicious curses on user]

(Effect: Heal all injuries at an extremely fast speed, including regenerating limbs]

[Effect: Health +3000]

What did this mean?

It was a superb treasure!

The effects of a Fruit of Life included lifting curses that a G.o.d put. This was absolutely an invaluable treasure to certain professionals who had previously provoked a G.o.d.

In particular, the effect of adding 1000 years to the user’s lifespan was striking. It was the most suitable allure for creatures who were nearing the end of their lifespans.

For example, William’s mother Alice. She must have consumed the Life Potion before, but that would be of no use in extending one’s lifespan.

As a result of the Life’s Blessing that she had given to William, Alice had been eternally cursed.

Unless she became a sage, it was nearly impossible to break this sort of curse.

However, a Fruit of Life would be able to lift the eternal curse on Alice.

When he was on the way back, William had already sold one of the two Fruits of Life that he had obtained. He sold it to Caesar Jack, the second prince of the War-ending Empire, for a price of 1 million magical stones and 50,000 magical crystals.

Caesar Jack was willing to pay such a high price because he planned to give the Fruit of Life to his father as a birthday gift…

“It’s a win-win situation for both Caesar Jack and me!” William knew how things worked.

The price of a Fruit of Life was very high. It would never have been so costly if there wasn’t a demand for it.

Those who wanted it couldn’t afford it. As for those who could afford, they had the ability to find other subst.i.tutes too.

However, a Fruit of Life was still extremely valuable to filthy rich individuals who were cursed or who only had a few hundred years of lifespan left.

Caesar Jack appeared to have used up all his wealth, but in exchange, he would earn the attention and affection of the emperor of the War-ending Empire…

Sacrificing some wealth in exchange for something like that couldn’t be considered as a loss at all.

Previously, when William was on the way back, many had approached William and expressed their desire to buy a Fruit of Life from him.

However, the reason why he chose to sell it to the second prince of the War-ending Empire was largely because of the City of Dawn’s geographical location.

After all, in the future, the City of Dawn would have to develop in the east and west direction. It was inevitable that they would have dealings with the War-ending Empire then.

William had greatly boosted his affinity with the second prince of the War-ending Empire. By selling the Fruit of Life to him, he would leave an impression on the emperor too, which would be extremely beneficial in the future.

In the conference hall, William laid down the general direction of the development path that the city would take. Then, he gave instructions for various missions and tasks.

At the same time, he announced that the Battle Energy College and the Magic Skills College would commence the admissions exercise three days later. The ceremony would be conducted in the central plaza.

This piece of news had just been published on the bulletin board, but it was already widely known among millions of people in the City of Dawn.

A large bunch of professionals had brought their children to the central plaza.

They planned to sit there and queue three days in advance. No matter how the Guardian Legion advised them against doing so, they didn’t listen.

Three days pa.s.sed.

William arrived at the central plaza. When he looked at the snaking queue, he couldn’t even see the end. He was rather amazed by the strong appeal of the Dawn Colleges.

However, he had forgotten that there had been only three human Kingdoms in the southern region.

Moreover, the colleges in those human Kingdoms were only average, and they only accepted students from their own Kingdoms or subsidiary nations.

Students from other nations had to renounce their original citizenship if they wanted to join those colleges.

Many couldn’t accept that.

However, things were different in the City of Dawn…

They didn’t need to renounce their citizenship. The most awesome thing was that they weren’t bound to a specific job, nor were they required to serve in the army after graduating from the Dawn Colleges.

The Dawn Colleges would even give their graduates a sum of money to start off their post-graduate life.

Currently, the colleges from the three human Kingdoms were mocking the Lord of Dawn. Although the Dawn Colleges provided good treatment for the students, one couldn’t judge a book by its cover. There was no way of ensuring that the students would stay loyal to the college. Their people thought that the Lord of Dawn would definitely cry when he realized that he was wasting his resources.

With regards to that theory, William didn’t even want to waste his saliva explaining…

As the dean of the colleges, he wouldn’t be teaching the students.

However, he could visit the students every day and boost their affinity points.

After all, there were seven whole years of compulsory education…

Tsk, tsk!

Perhaps it might sound unbelievable.

But by the time those students would graduate, they would have definitely become excellent students whose loyalty points with William would have reached 1000 points!

Standing in the central plaza, William started selecting the first batch of students for both Dawn Colleges.

He patted their shoulders if they had pa.s.sed the selection.

The Lord of Dawn looked at this bunch of young chaps with a cold look on his face. He was acting like the discipline master of his elementary school, exuding a strong aura.

The prospective students stood up straight, acting like excellent students with good qualities.

Regardless of whether William pa.s.sed or failed them, the teenagers didn’t dare to show their emotions. Those who failed could only stand at the side with tears in their eyes.

William took three whole days to a.n.a.lyze hundreds of thousands of prospective students.

“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. This is way too awesome!”

William was ecstatic after selecting the students.

The two Dawn Colleges had accepted a total of 30,000 students.

Nine of these students possessed Legendary bloodline. 128 had Epic bloodline, 1145 Grandmaster bloodline, and 17130 had Advanced bloodline. The rest were students with Intermediate bloodline that had better endowments.

One of the Legendary bloodline NPCs that William had accepted into his college had grown to become a big shot in his previous life.

Now, that dude was his student…

“I have completely changed history. I am no longer the little b.u.t.terfly of the southern region.

“As long as the City of Dawn doesn’t fall, the young geniuses who graduate from the Dawn Colleges will definitely give everyone a shock later on in the game!”

William was very confident now. The establishment of the Dawn Colleges meant that the City of Dawn would welcome many batches of outstanding professionals in the time to come.

When these students graduated, they would serve great value regardless of whether they joined the Dawn Army or the Dawn Mercenary Team.

On the day William finished selecting the students, he already embarked on another solo journey to the Dark Night City.

The story of a little Elf finding his mother was about to start!
