Hero Cultivation - Chapter 263
After Julius had just acquired his new blade which he had quite the interest in due to how much power it had and how much potential there was to it. Of course all while Julius continued to partake in these reckless activités, Lyla simply stayed quiet and watched as they took place as she wanted to stick beside Julius and she was aware that if she wanted to do that, she would have to suffer the consequences in which she would be putting her life in danger as Julius wasn’t one that liked to question his actions before he does them. Instead, his thought process consisted of doing the action first then suffering the consequences after.
After having robbed the elderly man, Julius along with Lyla began to search for a new city in which they could gain value from. Although Julius had missed being royalty, he understood that if he were to once again take the role of a king by overthrowing the current king of the city he was just in, he wouldn’t have any time to fool around like he was doing now. Instead, he would have to be doing his duties as the king by taking care of his people and making sure that everyone is following the rules and regulations that had been set. As such, Julius decided to be rather a commoner to say the least, however he would have the option to do whatever he wanted so he believed that it was an equal sacrifice.
Of course he didn’t tell this to Lyla as if she found out that Julius was capable of becoming a king, she would have forced him to as she was the type to want an easy life instead of working hard for an even better reward. Plus Julius would be doing nearly all of the work so she couldn’t care any less.
Nevertheless, the two continued on their journey in search of a purpose. Something that they could settle into and focus on for a while however not a single one of them seemed to be a worthy task as it didn’t directly benefit them by helping Julius reach level 100. Even so, the two began to search for another city which they arrived two right as the sun almost finished setting and night was upon them which was rather the perfect time for them.
As the two walked around, Julius spotted a building which seemed to have caught his eye. At first Lyla didn’t seem to be giving it any attention however she would soon learn why Julius had his eyes fixed on it as without even saying a word to her, he began to rush towards the building which was a talk at least 4 floor royal blue building constructed of stone and painted the colour ir was projecting.
“Hey where are you going?” Lyla asked to which Julius didn’t even respond and simply walked inside the building like a zombie and she was forced to follow him however she was a couple seconds behind him. When she had made it to the building, it seemed as if there was going to be a fight between Julius and another man.
Julius’ opponent seemed to be a tall and muscular man who was built like a bodybuilder that had taken enough steroids to kill a cow.
“I said you’re not allowed to enter if you’re not a member of this guild!” The guard yelled at Julius which was just trying to push past the guard with no avail, which was when he had gotten tired of his situation and decided to make a change in the way he would proceed.
“Move,” said Julius, however he wasn’t telling the guard to move or even asking him. He just said it to inform the guard as he wanted to do at least that before he did what he did next. That being to use his blade which he had stolen from the old man to threaten the guard which was stopping him.
Seeing as the guard was not willing to move out of his way, Julius decided to threaten him a bit by using the blade which he had gotten from the old man through stealing it due to its special properties which was what Julius needed in that moment as thoroughly just simply holding on to the blade and concentrating for a couple seconds, he was able to make the blade act in it’s true manner as the sharp part of the blade began to glow and it emanated the aura of death which instantly caused the fire to give in and move out of Julius’ way in fear of what might happen to him if he didn’t do so.

“Huh? Who the hell do you think you are?!” a man which seemed to have been drunk past the point where he could even stand let alone walk asked Julius as he saw a face of someone he didn’t recognize and as such he got the attentions of everyone else in the guild which began to surround Julius as they were sure that Julius had come with ill
intentions.
“Put your hands in the air,” said a cold voice with such force that Julius almost instantly got to his knees. As such, he listened to the voice and did as he was told.
“Now, give me one reason I shouldn’t erase you from existence?” an old man said as he walked up to Julius. The man was at least twice the size of Julius and looked down at him as if he was nothing but a mere insect.
“I’m sorry, I just came here to ask a question,” said Julius which puzzled the old man as he wondered why Julius would go to all
that trouble if all he wanted was to get a question answered.
“Go on,” said the old man with an intrigued tone.
“I see that your sign in the front of this building said that this was a child. If that’s true, does that mean that you find dungeons which exist and give them to your members to clear?” Julius asked to which the old man nodded if he had just been asked one of the easier questions in the world. It was like asking which one plus one equal to. However he still bothered with answering as he was interested as to where the conversation would go.
“Oh really? Can I join your guild then?” Julius asked as if he was saying something casual.
“Huh? I’m sorry, you must be new around here but this is one of the most elite guilds in this world. Many of the other guilds which are housed in this world consist of members which a single member from this guild can wide out with a single attack. You see the guy outside? His task was to protect us from any intruders if they tried to break in. Of course he failed in that due to you coming in here so here’s what I’ll do,” said the old man as he wanted to make a proposal to Julius.
“Look, you seem pretty strong. How about if you manage to guard this guild for a day, I’ll let you in here without bothering to hassle you too much?” the old man asked, which had brought a bright smile on Julius’ face as he believed that the task he had been given was far too easy for him.
“I accept!” Julius yelled out in pure joy as he believed that he had just got his free ticket to an endless number of dungeons which he could go in and destroy monsters in until he had reached level 100. Moreover, he was used to that type of format anyway so it would help him quickly progress in a setting similar to one he had already been in.
“Well that works for me, well you start right now,” said the old man with a slight grin on his face as he knew that Julius wasn’t aware of what would take place over the next 24 hours.
“And who is this young lady with you?” the old man asked as he seemed rather interested in Lyla.
“Oh she’s with me,” said Julius in a casual tone as if Lyla was nothing more than a pet to him.
“Come on, you seriously need a lesson on how to treat a beautiful lady such as this one,” said the old man.
“Anyway, young lady, you can work for our guild if you wish to. As for this child, he’ll be spending a life of hell for the next 24 hours,” said the old man with a smile as he guided Lyla elsewhere and Julius walked to the front of the building to stand watch as that was his duty for the next 24 hours. However he would face his first challenge right as he started in the form of the previous guard which was rather infuriated with Julius as he had just cost him his dream job and decided to attack Julius without a warning.
