The Capital of Lorren.

It was also the most outstanding and advanced place for Magic in all the legends, and this was Lu Cang’s first time visiting the city.

The first order of business upon arriving in Kernoya was to find a place to live.

It seemed Iz and the others all owned property in Kernoya.

After a moment of thought, Lu Cang decided to purchase a property of his own here as well.

It looked like he would be staying here for quite some time, and staying in a hotel long-term, no matter how nice, would be somewhat inconvenient.

However, on this first day after arriving in Kernoya...

Lu Cang still chose to check into the best hotel available.

Lu Luwei was the one who chose to stay at the hotel with Lu Cang.

"Lu Luwei, you don’t have a house in Kernoya either?"

"I’ve always been in the City in the Circle. How could I have a house in Kernoya?"

During the journey to Kernoya...

Lu Luwei had also earned a lot of money.

Thanks to Lu Cang’s Dungeon Sacrifices, Lu Luwei was able to rake in a fortune.

"Oh, then let’s go look at houses together tomorrow."

’I don’t need to be too picky.’

’I have plenty of money anyway. I can just buy a few properties that catch my eye.’

Thinking it over carefully...

’There are indeed quite a few things waiting for me to do in Kernoya. Today, I first need to go to the Special Occupation Registration Office and get the special amnesty permit for the Death Priest Profession.’

Only then could he legally possess the Death Priest Profession.

Then, he also had to pay a visit to the Mage Association.

Lu Cang had weighed the pros and cons during his journey and felt that joining the Mage Association was still necessary.

He could borrow the Mage Association’s Magic Books, use their library, and share in their research findings.

Iz had also joined the Mage Association, which proved it wasn’t some kind of scam.

Of course, enjoying these conveniences came with a corresponding price; he would need to make certain contributions to the Mage Association.

Lu Cang calculated and found that these contributions were actually quite easy to fulfill.

Publish a brand new, Self-created Magic within a certain period.

Or publish a sufficiently valuable paper on the Root Source.

Or hand over some valuable Magic Tools, or just donate money directly.

They were all quite simple.

"The Cave of Desperate Wails, are you going?" Lu Luwei asked.

The Cave of Desperate Wails was located near Kernoya.

After resting for a period of time, Iz and the others planned to set out to explore the Cave of Desperate Wails.

Lu Cang: "Yeah, I’m thinking about it."

The two chatted in the hallway.

"I also want to see what a Tier Six Dungeon looks like, and I’ve never seen Iz and the others fight with their full strength."

Lu Luwei: "You’re only Level 3 right now."

"Is that not enough?"

Lu Luwei couldn’t refute that.

With his current power, Lu Cang could kill a Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon, and do it with relative ease.

His true strength was likely at the peak of Level 5, blurring the line with a Level 6 Adventurer.

Among Tier Six Demons, there were no longer any ordinary ones.

They were all at least Lord Level.

The two chatted for a while about their upcoming plans, then returned to their rooms for a short rest before Lu Cang left the hotel.

「Special Occupation Registration Office」

Lu Cang held a map of Kernoya. This was the Special Occupation Registration Office.

Once he registered his Death Priest Profession here, he could possess it legally.

Iz was currently by his side.

"Let’s go."

"With me here, they probably won’t give you a hard time."

Lu Cang nodded.

He walked toward the registration office.

It was a rather dilapidated office area. To his left and right, he could see some annoyed-looking individuals staring straight at him.

At their waists hung several eye-catching plaques.

[Profession: Level 1 Thief]

[Profession: Level 1 Assassin]

[Profession: Level 1 Inciter]

[Profession: Level 1 Thief]

...

These people all had unpermitted Special Professions.

’What are they all doing here?’

’If you could legally possess the Profession and move about freely after registering, there shouldn’t be so many people gathered here.’

And...

’Do you have to wear that plaque? It’s far too conspicuous.’

Lu Cang committed these observations to memory, a bad feeling growing inside him.

He stepped through two deep, heavy iron doors. The doors were made of a special material, looked unusually sturdy, and he could also feel a Magic-dampening effect.

A Tier Five Magic-dampening effect.

’It won’t do much to hinder Tier Six Magic.’

Lu Cang arrived at the registration desk.

"I’m here to register a Special Profession."

"Lu Cang, right?" The one in charge of registration was an old man with sharp eyes.

"The King has already informed us."

"Fill out this form, answer a few of our questions, and you can legally possess the Death Priest Profession."

Lu Cang took the form.

He saw it contained a lot of requests for private information.

"Do I have to fill out everything?"

The man opened his mouth as if he wanted to shout a reprimand.

But then his eyes fell on the Mage standing beside Lu Cang.

"Ahem."

"Fill it out as you see fit."

Lu Cang could see the change in the man’s demeanor.

’Heh, if Iz weren’t here, he probably would have really tried to bully me.’

’Not that I would have let him.’

’But being hassled and not being hassled are two fundamentally different things.’

Lu Cang didn’t hold back, only filling in the information he deemed appropriate.

He completely ignored the other questions regarding his privacy.

Seeing the almost blank paper returned to him...

The old man seemed to want to lash out, but upon seeing Iz, he swallowed his words.

It was clear he wanted to throw his weight around.

But he was wary of Izparut’s presence.

’So he’s only afraid of Izparut, not me?’

"Fine."

The old man took the form and pulled out a black-and-gold token. On it was printed the word "Death."
