Fantasy World: I Can Travel To Cultivation World

The beauty of half-elves was famous throughout the world, after all, it's the reason why a new race was formed through crossbreeding with humans.

This young half-elf clearly came from a noble family, her composed, proud, and graceful demeanor was something that could only be cultivated by high nobility; small noble families wouldn't have the resources to foster such an air.

She was tall, wearing an elegant white robe, her silver hair like silk, flowing straight down to her waist. She had amber-colored eyes, a delicate nose, pointed ears, and… a noticeable Adam's apple!

Wait! Luis suddenly realized. This person was a male!

Just as Luis was mentally laughing at himself, Asmon who had not entered the city with him, came beside the group.

He introduced the half-elf, "That should be the Second Prince of the Half-Elf Kingdom, Tupe Modiwen."

"You know him?" Luis asked.

Arthur shook his head. "No, but it's not hard to guess."

"Anyone who can represent the Half-Elf royal family to attend Miss Vera's coming-of-age ceremony must be a direct member of the Modiwen family. The current Half-Elf King has two sons. The eldest is already in his forties, so it doesn't match in terms of age. Therefore, it must be the second prince."

"Oh" Luis replied without any expression.

Luis cold reaction didn't stop Asmon from continuing his chatter, in fact, it seemed to encourage him.

"Luis, do you know? This Prince Tupe isn't the biological son of the Half-Elf King; he was adopted!"

"Why?"

"Well, it's because of the Half-Elf Queen's request. You see, the current queen is the second wife of the king, after the first queen passed away. At that time, the king was nearly seventy! Even though the new queen was extremely beautiful, he was too old to father a child. So, to make up for the regret of the new queen, the king adopted a child from her family, raising him as his own son. And that's how Prince Tupe came to be." Asmon said with a smile.

"Does he have anything to do with you"

"Yes, my rival"

"Oh" Luis nodded, it seems this half prince wants to ask for Vera's hand. A direct rival of Asmon.

At this moment the Half elves headed inside the city and towards the Lion Roar's Castle.

Luis and his group also followed.

The higher they went, the more sparse the buildings became, and fewer people could be seen. Clearly, the area surrounding the Lion Roar Castle was inhabited only by the very wealthy and influential, with ordinary people never making it this far.

About two hours later, they finally arrived at the foot of the Lion Roar Castle. The first thing they noticed was the towering, fifty-meter-tall golden lion statue at the castle's front, its roaring posture sending a strong visual shock.

The castle itself stood five stories high, arranged in a conical shape, each level rising higher than the last. The castle gates were open, and besides the fully armed guards, an elderly butler stood at the entrance.

Upon seeing Luis group, the butler stepped forward with a slight bow, a perfect smile on his face, and said loudly:

"Welcome to the Lion Roar Castle!"

------

Under the guidance of a servant, Luis arrived at his room in Lion's Roar Castle.

After a long journey, he was covered in dust and decided to take a bath and change into clean clothes. It was a way of showing respect to the leading family of the North.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just as he finished dressing in a neat noble outfit, a knock sounded at the door.

Luis assumed it was a servant summoning him for a meal, but it seemed too early. The butler had previously informed him that there would be a banquet tonight.

Curious, Luis opened the door.

Then, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

In front of him there were his friends.

Asmon, Ice Mage Sarah(his cousin) and a innocent face girl.

Sarah patted his shoulders and pointed at the innocent face girl.

"Luis let me introduce her, she is Vera Dressrosa. We had studied together in Arcane City."

"Hello, Miss Vera" Luis nodded towards Vera. There was no bowing towards her.

"Hello, Luis. Sarah and Asmon told me about you"

Luis smiled politely, he is not much familiar with her and not very good at communication with new people, especially girls.

"Come, Luis. Vera will show us around the Lion Roar Castle."

Luis nodded and followed behind them.

Along the way, he called out Arthur and Li Xuan (his girlfriend) and Xiao Wei.

------

"This is the front yard. It used to be filled with osmanthus trees, but Father thought their fragrance was too strong and had them all replaced…"

"That's the tower. When I was little, I loved climbing up there to see faraway places, but Father always said girls shouldn't climb so high…"

"Over there is the kitchen and storage. When I played hide-and-seek with Charles and Adams as a child, I'd always hide there. They could never find me, haha! But the old butler would always get angry and scold me, saying it wasn't a place for a lady… Hmph, just as rigid as Father!"

"And over there is the garden, my favorite place to visit…"

"That's the chapel…"

------

Vera chattered away like a lively little bird, enthusiastically introducing every corner of Lion's Roar Castle while recounting fond memories tied to those places.

Asmon was beside Vera, Arthur was beside Li Xian, Asmon was beside Sarah.

As for Luis, he was all alone eating the dog food from these lovers.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this moment they appeared at deep inside the castle.

"This… is the place I feared most as a child," Vera said, her voice suddenly subdued.

The atmosphere around them seemed to grow heavy as the group followed her into a courtyard deep within the castle.

At this moment, Luis felt countless gazes pinning him down.

Looking up, Luis realized the source of those stares—towering statues!

"These are the Ancestors of the Dressrosa family who were above 3rd stages," Vera explained solemnly.

Ancestors!

Luis finally understood why the statues exuded such oppressive might.

He quickly counted and found there were 120 statues in total, representing the 120 4th stage+ Knights/Mages the Dressrosa family had produced over more than a thousand years.

They were the backbone of the family's strength, the embodiment of its noble bloodline, and the source of Dressrosa unmatched glory.

Luis also noticed that the statues' eyes seemed carefully designed to all face the courtyard entrance.

Anyone entering unaware would inevitably be overwhelmed by the intensity of their collective gaze.

"This one is Ancestor Franso; this one is Ancestor Breta; this one is Ancestor Lymens…" Vera introduced each statue one by one.

Finally, they stood before the largest statue at the center of the courtyard.

"This is the Founding Ancestor of the Dressrosa family—'The Lion of Fire,' Ryan Dressrosa."

Luis tilted his head back to gaze at the towering statue, over ten meters high, feeling a sense of weirdness.

Feeling the weirdness he continued to observe.

"Asmon, did you know? I once wanted to become a knight," Vera said, her gaze fixed on Ryan's statue, her face filled with admiration.

"Really?" Asmon turned to look at her.

"Yes. I had it all planned out. On my tenth birthday, I intended to ask Father But…"

"But when I was six, Father sent me to study arcane city…"

"At the time, Father told me that if I wanted to uncover the world's truth, I needed to go to Arcane City and become a Mage."

Asmon shook his head and looked at Vera Lovingly.

Luis ignored these people with love Brains, he was gazing intently at each statues. Read new adventures at empire

"So, did you find the world's truth?" Asmon asked

"Not yet…" Vera bit her lip but declared firmly, "But I believe I'm on the right path! The relentless pursuit of arcane truth will one day lead me to uncover the world's secrets!"

Sarah, Arthur, Li Xuan didnt speak. They had already been to Cultivation World. They believe that as the strength increases the secret will reveal themselves.

At this moment, a guard appeared beside them and bowed slightly.

"Miss Vera! Her Majesty's carriage is approaching Lion's Roar Castle."

"The Queen?"

"Aunt!"

The Empress of the Azov Kingdom was none other than the younger sister of Duke Dressrosa.

It was said that before her marriage, this Empress Midella had been famed throughout the North for her peerless beauty. Countless nobles vied for her attention, going to great lengths to win her favor.

Yet, the most radiant flower of the North had ultimately been plucked by the Emperor of the Azov Kingdom himself.

Empress Midella had an excellent reputation in the Empire—noble, elegant, kind to others, devout in her faith, and a model empress who had given birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor.

"Hurry, Everyone! Let's go greet my Aunt!" Vera lifted the hem of her gown and dashed ahead.
