Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 471: Let’s Sit Down and Talk

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Let’s Sit Down and Talk

As expected.

The area around the White Tower is, of course, heavily guarded.

When Lu Ran approached the entrance, the guards immediately became alert.

“What are you doing?” a guard shouted.

Lu Ran double-checked the map to confirm that the divine coordinates were indeed located at the White Tower.

Only then did he glance at the guards.

One might wonder how these people became guards of the White Tower.

In the Longxia language, Lu Ran couldn’t distinguish whether they were from the U.S.A or Longxia.

However,

judging by their appearance, it was easy to tell at a glance.

“My name is Lu Ran,” Lu Ran said coolly.

There was still time left on the countdown.

As he spoke, Lu Ran hesitated, considering whether to simply demolish the White Tower.

After all, for Lu Ran, it was a simple task.

A casual undead attack, or even just one of Lu Ran’s Taoist Skills, could easily take down the White Tower.

Without the White Tower, the U.S.A would become a loose sandpile.

But in today’s data world,

even without the White Tower, each main city could fight independently, so it wouldn’t have a major impact.

“Lu Ran? The Undead Mage of Longxia, Lu Ran?” The guards froze, staring in amazement at Lu Ran.

Originally, Lu Ran thought they might question his identity.

After all,

for the Undead Mage of Longxia to suddenly appear at the White Tower’s doorstep,

it was indeed a bit strange.

But unexpectedly,

the guards exchanged glances and immediately recognized Lu Ran.

“It really is Lu Ran!”

“I can’t be mistaken; I saw him during the national war!”

“Oh my god, it really is Lu Ran! Quick, notify them!”

…

Hm?

Lu Ran was a bit surprised, raising an eyebrow.

But then it dawned on him.

Back during the national war,

it wasn’t until he returned that Lu Ran learned that during the national war, each main city had locked their free-view cameras directly onto him.

His heroic figure had already been well observed by all nations.

Initially, when Lu Ran first entered the U.S.A, people didn’t recognize him.

Perhaps it’s not that they didn’t recognize him, but that they’d only seen Lu Ran during the national war and hadn’t remembered him.

After all,

many times,

Lu Ran also couldn’t remember people from the U.S.A whom he’d only seen once.

Blond hair, big noses, just a few features.

But unless someone had a very distinctive face, Lu Ran wouldn’t have a strong impression.

Lu Ran looked at the guards.

He smirked and planned to walk straight in.

If they tried to stop him, he would take action immediately.

Worst case, demolish the White Tower—it didn’t matter to Lu Ran; it was just a trivial matter.

But just at that moment,

the guards stopped Lu Ran again. Just as Lu Ran was frowning and planning to take action,

the lead guard suddenly said, “It doesn’t matter who you are, today is a special day. The whole White Tower is under lockdown, and no one is allowed near it. You should come back another day.”

Huh?

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, dumbfounded.

He couldn’t tell if the guards were out of their minds, or if he was.

The grudges between the U.S.A and Longxia weren’t quite like water and fire, but it was definitely a ’you or me’ situation.

Here was Lu Ran, coming solo.

And they tell him to come another day? Is this a joke?

But suddenly, Lu Ran looked at the guards.

Slightly squinting his eyes, interpreting their meaning,

today is a special day, the entire White Tower is on lockdown, no one is allowed in, nor is Lu Ran permitted entry.

Could this be related to the imminent appearance of a god?

Was the appearance of the god not by chance?

Was the White Tower orchestrating it behind the scenes?

Then it’s all the more reason to go in and take a look!

Lu Ran needed to figure out how these people were making gods appear.

This was crucial; if there was truly a way to bring forth a god, it would make Lu Ran’s quest to collect divine fragments much simpler.

“Notify them that I’ve arrived,” Lu Ran said calmly.

He didn’t resort to direct action.

Killing them all would be too easy for Lu Ran,

but then he wouldn’t find out how they conjured the god.

Of course,

all this hinged on Lu Ran’s guess being correct.

That the White Tower’s lockdown today was indeed because of the imminent appearance of the god, and not a coincidence.

“No way, we’ve received orders from above; we can’t grant entry, no one can go in,” the guard refused bluntly.

Lu Ran nodded.

“You know who I am, but clearly don’t understand my character. Three minutes, whether you notify them or not, in three minutes, I will enter. If someone stops me, I will kill.”

The words were spoken lightly and casually,

but they caused the guards’ faces to dramatically change!

They finally realized who this person was—Lu Ran!

The world’s scariest number one professional, number one Undead Mage Lu Ran!

The dominator of the equipment leaderboard, level leaderboard, Endless Tower and various global rankings—Lu Ran!

If Lu Ran wanted to enter,

who could stop him?

There were only three minutes!

The guards, terrified, couldn’t hesitate anymore and ran inside.

Lu Ran chuckled.

See, that’s more like it.

Sometimes, getting things done cleanly and efficiently benefits everyone.

Of course, it didn’t matter to Lu Ran.

As he said, whether you notify them or not, in three minutes, he would enter.

If someone tried to stop him, he would kill them!

It’s that simple.

Just a little over a minute later,

the guards rushed back.

Before reaching the entrance, worried that the three minutes were up, they shouted, “Let Lu Ran in! Hurry, let him in!”

Lu Ran heard them, chuckled, and stepped inside.

The guards ran up to him, saying, “Please follow me, I’ll take you to the conference room. The people above are all waiting for you.”

With that, they led the way.

Occasionally, they would glance back at Lu Ran, their faces full of fear.

After all,

there were almost no people worldwide who could face Lu Ran without changing their expression.

Before long,

Lu Ran arrived at the conference room.

As expected, all the high-ranking leaders were there.

The top leader, a blond, sat in the main seat, with other leaders seated on either side.

There were also some other guild members.

Lu Ran didn’t know any of them, but guessed they were high-ranking members or leaders of various guilds.

Similar to Liu Xinxin and their group.

But these so-called leaders, in terms of levels or personal abilities, were far inferior to Liu Xinxin and the others.

After all,

Lu Ran had killed quite a few of the top-tier professionals from the U.S.A.

So gathering some relatively stronger professionals to be guild leaders wasn’t easy.

Upon seeing Lu Ran enter, everyone immediately stood up in unison.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and silent.

Lu Ran calmly surveyed the room, then sat down near the entrance, facing the top leader.

He then said, “Let’s sit down and talk.”

As if given permission, everyone exchanged glances and then sat down one after another.
