Chapter 59: Chapter 59, A Demoted Prince? Glory City Was In Danger!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
[Life Background: You came from a noble background. You are the youngest prince among the eighteen children of the current Emperor.]
[Although you are young, you are the only legitimate son. However, because your Emperor Father does not love your biological mother, who is the Empress, he does not care about you.]
[When you were ten years old, he issued an edict that stripped you of the right to inherit the throne and made the first prince the Crown Prince.]
[The first Prince was born from another concubine. He had never been on good terms with you. He was jealous of the power you once had.]
[That was why after he ascended the throne, in order to protect his own interests and prevent you from making a comeback, he and his mother secretly used all sorts of methods to continuously oppress your living space.]
[After all of this was known by your biological Emperor Father, not only did he not stop it, he even tacitly allowed this kind of behavior.]
[Even when seventeen of your brothers and sisters came of age, they were each given the highest quality of territory and Duke title. When it was your turn, he only give you the title of a Fourth-rank Viscount Noble.]
[You were endlessly angry and asked for fair treatment, but the result was the complete opposite.]
[As the biological Emperor Father, he directly assigned you to a city far away from the capital, stationed on a desolate border, the poorest and most dangerous city, Glory City!]
…
After reading the information in the reincarnation seal, He Chuan couldn’t help but feel a little absent-minded.
“Why does it feel like it’s still the beginning of nightmare difficulty?”
His entire person was in a bad mood.
Didn’t I use a prop?
I spent 800,000 Reincarnation Points, and more than half of my savings were used up.
And this was the result?
He Chuan was very unhappy.
But he had no choice.
Who asked him to use the normal version of the Golden Spoon?
Being born into such a complicated family like the royal family, it was normal for him not to be pampered.
It was this kind of outcome where the cost was not proportional to the benefits that made him feel a psychological drop. He felt that he had bought the Golden Spoon at a loss.
“Next time, I must buy the supreme edition!”
He Chuan silently complained.
However, since he had already come and used the item, even if the beginning was not to his liking, he could not just sit around and wait for death.
The number of reincarnations was even rarer than the millions of Reincarnations Points.
This could be seen in the Reincarnators Association behind Ke Yuan.
They were willing to spend a large number of reincarnations points to invest in resetting the world’s difficulties, but they did not say that they would give him an unlimited number of reincarnations.
What did this mean?
This meant that the reward for the number of reincarnations was even harder to come by!
Even for them, the number of times they could spend was limited!
They could not spend an unlimited amount on one person.
“Let’s strive for another reward for the number of reincarnations this time.”
He Chuan did not want to trouble others. After all, what others gave him and what he asked for were two different things.
The former was a kind gift from the other party, used to smooth over relations, while the latter was something he owed.
He didn’t like to owe people favors, so he took matters into his own hands, to have ample food and clothing!
Actually, on the bright side, this reincarnation might not be as tragic as described in the life background.
There might be other possibilities.
For example, the Emperor doing this was a different kind of protection for him.
While he was growing and tempering himself outside, he was far away from the hidden currents that could not be seen in the capital.
After all, there were many factions in the court and the various major powers were deeply intertwined.
They all had their own princes that they supported.
Once someone became the heir to the throne, they would definitely be attacked by the other powers.
They would think of ways to trip you up.
Moreover, they were all underhanded moves, and they would not give themselves away on the surface.
After you fell into the trap, he would then impeach you on the grounds that he had lost the bearing of the Emperor.
Over time, even if the Emperor was unwilling, the candidate for the throne should be reconsidered.
Thinking about it this way, his cheap father who was the Emperor didn’t seem so bad.
However, He Chuan didn’t care about this.
It didn’t matter what the Emperor thought.
As long as he did not bother him in the future.
It was just the throne, what was the big deal?
It was not like he had never been an Emperor.
Moreover, he was only an heir.
Whether he could become the Emperor, in the end, was another matter.
The only pity was that he did not take advantage of the fact that he was still the heir to the throne to get more benefits.
Up until now, he was only a Viscount of the nobility. The only wealth he had was this dilapidated city in front of him.
What was the use of this?
He Chuan shook his head slightly.
He felt that if he wanted to modify the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual, he might as well give up his territory and travel around the world.
It was more practical to broaden his horizons than to stick to one side.
So, he immediately took action. He counted the money he had left and prepared to buy some dry food and equipment necessary for survival in the wild.
In the end, reality gave him a severe warning.
After a long turn.
He found that the city was not only in bad condition.
Even the resident population is sparse.
On average, for every five houses, at most one house was occupied.
And there are not many shops on the street with their doors open.
Finally, he found a tavern, but the counter is still empty!
He Chuan shouted twice before someone responded from the room.
A middle-aged man ran over, panting.
“I’m sorry, sir. I’m a little busy today, so I’m temporarily closed.”
He Chuan casually threw a small piece of gold on the table and asked, “I just want to buy some dry food, I don’t eat here, can you prepare some for me?”
“This…”
The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up when he saw the gold, but he hesitated and did not take it. “Sir, for the time being… There’s no wine or meat in the shop…”
“Huh? How is that possible?”
He Chuan did not understand.
People who opened a tavern could have no meat or vegetables, but how could they not have wine?
“Sigh… Sir, you’re from outside, right?”
“Sort of.”
“I suggest you leave early if you can leave. There are only some dried lees and rice bran left in the restaurant… If you don’t mind, you don’t have to pay for it. Just bring some to eat on the road.”
“Rice Bran? That’s what you’re eating?”
He Chuan frowned slightly. wasn’t that something that even pigs wouldn’t eat?
It couldn’t be that bad, could it?
The people in the city were so poor?
Seeing his expression, the shopkeeper sighed and said, “Sir, you don’t know this. Glory City is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It lives in a secluded valley. To put it nicely, it’s full of spiritual energy. If you live here for a long time, you might even awaken.”
“But as you can see, how many outsiders are there in the city?”
“In my opinion, Glory City is a cage raised by strange beasts!”
“Those who live here may be eaten at any time!”
