Chapter 37: Surging Undercurrents

The people around were all baffled as they looked at Karoso.

"You started clearing dungeons at eight?" one student couldn’t help but blurt out. "Are you kidding? You have to be at least twelve!"

"In our family, everyone starts their adventures at the age of eight," said Karoso.

"Wait, this, this is tantamount to suicide, right?" The student felt confused all of a sudden.

"Yes, I have a brother, a sister, who died in a dungeon," nodded Karoso.

Everyone fell silent.

Canglang Province has the largest army in the entire kingdom, and its territory is also the biggest among all the provinces. They did not achieve this for nothing.

Looking at Karoso’s still youthful face, 『』 let out a sigh, feeling a mix of emotions. "I think you must be one of the most experienced among your peers… No, even compared to those two grades higher, your experience may still be richer."

"So, based on my experience, I should join this adventure," Karoso stated confidently.

"Do you know that when you go to the dungeon, the danger may not just come from monsters?" 『』 gave one final warning.

"I know," nodded Karoso. "If anyone wants to challenge me, they’ll have to pay with their lives. Colloa never fears any challenge."

"Alright, I’ll help you submit your name and experience." 『』 said, "Whether you’ll be chosen or not depends on the vice president’s arrangement."

……

It was no surprise that news of Karoso’s registration leaked out.

When Carrey heard about the appearance of the so-called third-tier dungeon, he initially didn’t take it seriously. But when he heard that Karoso had registered, he became restless.

Carrey vividly remembered the humiliation he had suffered from Karoso before. He felt that if he spoke a little harshly, Karoso would make him lose face in front of everyone, which was intolerable.

During the break, Carrey decisively returned to the dormitory and started calling out with the Magic Stone.

"Young master."

Soon, a young man appeared in the Magic Stone.

"Give me a mission, to deal with Karoso," Carrey said, "in the third-tier dungeon!"

"Yes, sir."

Carrey said, "I can’t go in myself, can I hire someone to go in?"

Some people can do anything for the temptation of gold coins!

……

Warrior Academy.

When the prince learned that Karoso was going to the dungeon, he couldn’t sit still.

The prince also holds a position at this school, he is the headmaster of the Warrior Academy, a top warrior.

If Karoso were a genius from an ordinary family, the prince would do everything to recruit him into the royal family, to make him a talent of the royal family. But, Karoso is the son of Osiris Colloa, which means he cannot be recruited.

Judging from Karoso’s performance, this person poses a great threat.

The Prince didn’t mind at all. In his eyes, the card was not created by Karoso himself, but by the Card Maker team of Grand Duke Colloa. Karoso was just being pushed into the spotlight.

There was one thing that the Prince cared a lot about, and that was when Karoso triggered the God of War statue upon entering school!

After that day, he held meetings with many people and consulted with the church to confirm Karoso’s situation.

Is Karoso The Favored One, or The Favored One of the God of War?

In the Prince’s mind, every Favored One of the God of War was someone who could bring chaos to the world.

The appearance of The Favored One of the God of War signifies the demise of countless ancient nobles, just like her flaming demon sword Levante incinerated numerous ancient deities.

Every Favored One of the God of War is a revolutionary, causing countless countries to change because of The Favored One.

Karoso being The Favored One alone posed a threat within manageable limits. After all, there have been countless Favored Ones who have fallen in their growth journey. Once the voice of the gods disappeared, the safety of The Favored One no longer received divine protection.

However, Karoso has a natural advantage. He is likely to inherit the position of Grand Duke Colloa in the future. The thirty thousand troops of Canglang Province are not to be taken lightly.

The prince returned to his office after class and secretly began contacting someone.

"Your Highness, Prince." Carrey’s figure appeared on the prince’s Magic Stone.

"Carrey," the prince opened his mouth and whispered, "Colloa proposed to the royal family, and Grand Duke Osiris wants Karoso to marry Ailina."

"What?" Carrey’s face turned green. "My relationship with Ailina…"

"I know that you two are close, but the royal family believes that Karoso is exceptionally talented, so it’s best for Ailina to marry him," the prince continued.

"Your Highness, I refuse!" Carrey anxiously said. "I have the ability to inherit the duke’s position in the future. If Ailina marries me, she will become the Duchess!"

The position of the duke needs to be fought for.

In the past, traditionalist dukes would pass the position to their eldest sons, but this idea changed over the years.

The duke’s title is still typically passed to the son born from their legitimate wife.

However, it may not be the eldest son.

If unable to gain the duke’s favor, then one can only rely on oneself to strive for it.

If able to marry into the royal family, it would also be a good card for Carrey.

"I still prefer you," the prince said, "I really like Ailina, always treating her as my own daughter. I hope she marries for love, not for politics. The reason for marrying Colloa is Karoso’s excellence, but Karoso may not be excellent enough."

"Phew," Carrey let out a sigh, "I understand now."

Carrey originally wanted to deal with Karoso, and now his confidence is even stronger.

Karoso must have stepped on me before for this reason!

Damn it, I will make you pay for it!

The prince hung up the Magic Stone, then connected another soul.

"Harvey, my dear prince," the prince said to the image appearing in the Magic Stone.

"Oh, my dear prince, I did not mean to skip classes," Harvey performed a noble gesture in the Magic Stone, then sat on the sofa.

Holding a cup of red wine in his hand, embracing a seemingly innocent female student, with a cynical smile on his face.

"You know Karoso, right?" the prince asked.

"Oh, that despicable barbarian," Harvey squinted his eyes.

If Karoso was here, he would recognize him at a glance. When Karoso just entered the school, it was this person who mocked him when Karoso just arrived.

He is the son of the Duke Colin of Angle Peak Province, which is adjacent to Canglang Province. The two sides often have friction, even military conflicts.

Harvey and Karoso were destined not to become friends.

"He is going to explore the dungeon," said the prince.

"He really lives up to being a barbarian, is that the kind of place nobles go to?" Harvey mocked.

"I’m just letting you know,"

The prince finished speaking and then hung up.

Next, he contacted several people who had conflicts with the Colloa family.

It can be said that because Canglang Province is far from the prosperous center and desires expansion, Grand Duke Colloa has offended many people.

With that, many blows would fall on Karoso.
