Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 41 Pre-arranged reconnaissance and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy

It must be said that Salas is indeed very capable to have reached the rank of Platinum Bishop.

In just over ten minutes, a geomantic map and a report marking all the forces within Tiandou City were placed in front of the master and apprentice. Not only that, but they also brought over a portrait of some key figures.

Moreover, the map of the city containing the intelligence was clearly newly completed, and Salas, who had always lived in Tiandou City, had no need for such a thing.

Guangling and Han Li looked closely and found that, in addition to the information they had requested, Salas had added a lot of other things to it, which could help them directly compare it with the portrait of the person. It was incredibly detailed.

"Well done."

Even though Guangling disliked this guy's character, she had to admit that his ability to get things done was indeed top-notch.

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I have given you my instructions. I will inform you as soon as I receive any further information."

Salas bowed respectfully, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He didn't care about Guangling's attitude towards him; he was fine as long as Guangling needed him to do something.

Having received the items, the master and apprentice had no interest in arguing with Salas, and once again declined his lunch invitation, heading towards their room.

"Xiao Li, how about letting Rosago accompany you for a walk?"

Guangling suggested that since his physical characteristics were very distinctive and he didn't really like shopping, but Han Li always stayed in his room, what kind of habit was that? Children should go out and see more of the world.

Han Li paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Okay, let me check the intelligence first, and then I'll go find Master Luo."

He hadn't planned to waste all his time here today; he'd only just received the items and hadn't memorized them yet, otherwise he would have left long ago.

Along the way, although they entered many cities and would stop to rest, most of the time they were in a hurry.

Now that they had arrived in Tiandou City, he was bound to take a look around even without Guangling's suggestion, since it was the imperial city of the Tiandou Empire. He hadn't expected Guangling to suggest it, so he naturally wouldn't object.

After Han Li had roughly reviewed and noted down the intelligence and maps, he realized it was already noon.

So he simply had lunch delivered to his room, rested for a while, and then called Master Luo to walk towards the city together.

In terms of sheer prosperity, Tiandou City surpasses Wuhun City, but the atmosphere is somewhat lacking. After all, most of the people here are not Soul Masters, and the hierarchy is quite distinct, making Han Li feel as if he has returned to Notting City.

The two had naturally changed their clothes before coming out, since their original attire bore some kind of Spirit Hall insignia, and it was even specially made. Although the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall wasn't that tense, it was clearly inappropriate to parade around the Heaven Dou capital in such clothes.

Along the way, perhaps because of their luxurious attire, and because Rosago was always following behind Han Li, clearly acting as his bodyguard, most people instinctively avoided eye contact when they saw them approaching. However, some equally elegantly dressed people smiled and nodded at them, regardless of whether they knew them or not.

"They're treating me like royalty," Han Li thought to himself.

He then realized that he really was a nobleman of the Heavenly Dou clan, and he still had a title certificate issued by the Heavenly Dou clan on his wristband, although he had never paid any attention to it.

After all, what use is a nobleman without a fief? He can only intimidate people in small places, and he has no intention of developing in that direction.

As for the nobles needing to accept the Heavenly Dou Empire's summons, he didn't care at all. If Xue Ye really had the guts to forcibly summon him, Guang Ling would probably just storm into the palace and show him what "fist power" really meant.

After strolling around the streets and buying some snacks, Han Li led Rosago to several places that interested him, as he wanted to scout them out first.

Rosago hadn't looked at the map and didn't know what the young master was planning to do, but he knew very well that his responsibility was to protect him, so he didn't stop him, but just followed silently behind him.

As Han Li passed by an imposing pavilion with a plaque that read "Moon Pavilion," he stopped and did not approach rashly.

From afar, one could see many noble young men and women entering together, and the surrounding area was filled with ornately decorated carriages. The music faintly emanating from the pavilion confirmed that this must be the noble ceremony venue opened by Tang Yuehua.

Looking at the number of guards around Yuexuan that was almost comparable to the entire commercial street, Han Li shook his head, said nothing, and continued walking towards the residential area not far away.

Afterwards, he inadvertently passed by the residences bearing the names of the Dugu and Ye families. Sensing the conversations of the servants through his antennae, he confirmed that the masters were not in the residences, and then returned to the main street without stopping.

"Master Luo, could you please find me a carriage? I'd like to visit the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy," Han Li said, turning his head.

"Young Master, we don't have any noble certificates from the Heaven Dou clan. If we want to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we'll have to go back to the Spirit Hall first and ask Bishop Salas for help," Rosago said after a moment's thought.

"No, there's no need for that. I am a nobleman of the Heavenly Dou Clan."

Han Li smiled slightly, and a gold-rimmed viscount's certificate appeared in his hand.

Rosago paused for a moment, nodded, and then walked towards the carriage by the roadside without saying anything more.

Soon, the two boarded a carriage and left the city, heading towards the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"My lords, carriages are not allowed on the road ahead. I can only take you this far."

The coachman pointed to the academy gate, which was visible at a glance, and turned around to say.

"Okay, let's stop here then. By the way, we need to go back to Tiandou City later, so please wait here. Here's the carriage fare."

Han Li got off the carriage first and casually flicked a gold soul coin into the coachman's hand.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely wait for you to come out."

The coachman clutched the gold coins tightly, bowing repeatedly. He had encountered a big fish; this one trip alone was worth three months' worth of his usual income. Naturally, he was happy to wait, and perhaps the coachman would be in a good mood and reward him even more.

Han Li didn't care about the driver's attitude, and he knew that the driver was probably talking about him in his heart. However, he was paying for the service, so he didn't care.

After walking for a few minutes, he led Rosago to the academy gate, where they were stopped by the guards.

As he handed over his aristocratic credentials, he said, "Hello, I would like to visit your esteemed institution. I will enroll when the semester begins in the second half of the year."

After carefully examining his credentials, the guard respectfully handed them back. Although he was just a viscount from a small, unheard-of place, he was still a nobleman, someone the guard couldn't afford to offend.

The guard handed over a pass with both hands and explained, "Many noble young masters, like you, enjoy visiting before school. This is your temporary pass. Once inside, show your pass, and someone will guide you through some of the public facilities."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rosago following behind Han Li and continued, "However, this pass is for one person only. But rest assured, the academy will ensure your safety. You will need to return the pass when you leave. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Okay, no problem."

Han Li nodded to the guards first, then turned to Rosago and said, "Go back to the carriage and wait for me. I'm going inside to take a look."

Rosago had originally wanted to remind Han Li that this wasn't very safe, but seeing him wave his noble certificate, he swallowed his words of advice, nodded, bowed, and headed towards the carriage.

Han Li put away his noble certificate, looked at the guard, and smiled, "Alright, may I go in now?"

"Of course, please."

The guards welcomed him inside.
