Outside Jialicheng.
The tiger-faced man stopped, quietly removed the mask from his face, revealing the middle-aged man's face that Tang San had seen before.
In the distance, they could already see the tall city walls of Jialicheng and the towering mountains on either side.
Tang San still clearly remembered the obvious temperature difference inside and outside the city walls when he first came here. As one of the main cities of the demon race, the prosperity of this city left a deep impression on him. Of course, this prosperity had nothing to do with humans.
"Tang San, take this." As he spoke, the tiger-faced man handed him a token.
Tang San took the token and saw that it was green, carved from a Wind Spirit Stone, and of better quality than any he had seen before. One side was carved with a wolf's head, and the other side with some demon race script.
It roughly recorded his name and the clan he belonged to. This clan was naturally the Wind Wolf Clan, but not the small town of Wind Wolves, rather the ancestral house of the Wind Wolves in Jialicheng.
Without a doubt, this was an official vassal token. With this token, it meant that Tang San had a formal identity in the demon race world, an identity that would not be casually killed by demons.
"Remember, from now on, you are a human vassal of the Wind Wolf Ancestral House. Your parents are also vassals serving the Wind Wolf King in the Ancestral House, which is why you have obtained vassal status at such a young age. If you encounter an inspection, just say this. This vassal token is genuine and can withstand scrutiny. Don't panic when you encounter any patrols."
"Of course, you don't need to go to the Wind Wolf Ancestral House. This is just an identity token prepared to match your own demon god transformation identity," the tiger-faced man said.
"Senior, what should I call you?" Tang San asked.
Hearing him call him "senior," the tiger-faced man clearly paused, obviously the first time he had heard this title.
"Senior? That's fine. My name is Zhang Tianshao, and I belong to the Redemption of Jialicheng," the tiger-faced man said with a smile.
Tang San said, "So from now on, I am part of the Redemption organization?"
Zhang Tianshao shook his head and said, "The organization still needs to conduct a series of evaluations of you. Of course, the most important thing is your training. The reason you were chosen by the organization at such a young age is mainly due to your talent. In the upcoming studies and cultivation, you must give it your all. Talking about big principles now is meaningless. Don't you want to avenge your mother? Then you need greater strength. And to protect yourself, you also need strength."
"Okay." Tang San nodded.
Zhang Tianshao led Tang San into Jialicheng. The city gate was no different from the last time he came. They walked along the edge of the road, actively avoiding any demons.
The temperature inside Jialicheng was much higher than outside, warm and comfortable. The city was still bustling with all kinds of demons.
The status of the demon races could actually be discerned from the areas they walked on the streets. Those who dared to walk in the center of the street were all powerful demon races. Of course, if they encountered a stronger race, they would also actively give way. This was probably the hierarchy among the demon races.
"Senior, where are we going now?" Tang San asked in a low voice.
Zhang Tianshao glanced at him and said, "To the academy."
"The academy?" Tang San couldn't help but be stunned. For him, these two words were indeed profound!
In his previous life, on the Douluo Continent, the academy he entered in his childhood later became the continent's top academy due to the excellence of their batch of disciples. He still clearly remembered the slogan of the academy he attended back then: "We only accept geniuses, not ordinary people!"
After coming to the demon continent, he never thought that there would be academies in this world.
"An academy for the demon race? I thought the demon race only had family-based teaching," Tang San said in surprise.
Zhang Tianshao said, "So, in that remote town, your understanding of this world is limited. The demon race certainly has its own academies, and they are clearly graded. But not all demons have the qualifications to enter the academy. The academies of the demon race are only open to the nobility of the various demon races. Only the nobility have the qualifications to attend, and the fees are extremely high. However, the academy I am taking you to is not a demon race academy, but our own academy, the Redemption Academy!"
Tang San was taken aback, "Redemption Academy? The organization has its own academy?" This was something he had never imagined.
He had seen clearly what the status of humans was in this world. Not to mention the Redemption or resistance organizations, even human vassals dependent on the demon race having their own academy? Zhang Tianshao had just said that even among the demon race, not everyone could enter the academy for studies.
Zhang Tianshao smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when we get there. Redemption has existed for many years, and we must have our own ways. Otherwise, wouldn't we have long been extinct? To be able to survive in the face of the powerful demon and spirit races, we naturally have some means."
Jialicheng was very large. Although he had been here once, Tang San was not familiar with the terrain. But Zhang Tianshao was clearly very familiar, walking quickly and leading Tang San through the streets and alleys of the city.
After walking for about an hour and a half, based on Tang San's judgment of the direction, they should now be in the eastern part of Jialicheng, and relatively close to the city center.
Zhang Tianshao slowed down his pace.
Tang San observed the surroundings. He noticed that the street they were walking on was very wide. On the right side, which was the east, was the foot of the mountains. This mountain range naturally served as a natural barrier for Jialicheng. The mountains extended downward into the city, and the area at the foot of the mountains was where they were now.
On the slopes, there were many buildings, layered and undulating, surrounded by various tall vegetation, enveloping the buildings.
Zhang Tianshao introduced as he walked, "The most prosperous and highest-status area of Jialicheng is the city center, where only the ancestral houses of the major clans can be established. The eastern side is the highest-status area outside the city center. It is generally inhabited by nobles who can be independent of the various clans. For example, if you are a noble of the Wind Wolf Clan, you have the qualifications to buy and build your own house and live independently, without having to be dependent on the clan. The nobles of the demon race on this side are also the wealthiest."
Tang San took his words to heart, as this was clearly very important for understanding Jialicheng. He was only nine years old, and Meigongzi was in this city. He knew that he would likely live here for a long time. Understanding more about his living environment and deepening his understanding of the demon race was naturally very important.
The two continued to walk. In the distance, there was a dense forest. It wasn't until they reached the forest that Tang San discovered a wide road extending inward from the center of the forest.
Zhang Tianshao turned and walked into the forest. Following the road into the forest area, Tang San immediately felt that the air around him became much fresher, and the elemental energy was abundant and comfortable.
