My queen is rebelling!

Chapter 12: Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster

The Queen's actions were swift and decisive. The very next morning, more than a dozen transcendents from various professions arrived punctually at the Royal Martial Arena, recruited by the royal family.

Aefienne guarded the two largest sea outlets in the Northwest Continent, and her daily government affairs were heavy. The Queen only showed her face briefly before handing over the recruited professionals to Cohen.

Cohen's gaze swept back and forth over the crowd. The Queen clearly valued Cohen's profession, as those recruited were all experienced veterans.

Cohen pointed to a middle-aged man with a stiff face in the crowd and said:

"What is your profession?"

The middle-aged man knew that the other party was His Majesty the King. A trace of humble smile was squeezed out of his stiff face, and he replied cautiously:

"Your Majesty, I am a 'Sword Gladiator,' skilled in using scimitars."

Cohen nodded and gave a slight signal to the guard beside him.

The guard turned and took out an unsharpened scimitar, handed it to the middle-aged man, and whispered:

"Be careful, don't hurt His Majesty."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Cohen said, "Begin. Show me your best skills. If you perform well, I will reward you handsomely."

The nervous middle-aged man, after receiving the scimitar, became much calmer, and began to demonstrate his skills meticulously.

Time passed quickly, and an hour flashed by.

"Ding!"

The familiar sound made Cohen's heart rejoice. It was indeed the same as the game in his previous life!

Immediately following was a series of electronic sounds:

"Proficiency in 'Scimitar' has reached mastery."

Cohen waved his hand to signal the other party to stop, took the scimitar, and a feeling of blood connection arose spontaneously, as if he had been holding it for many years.

He casually swung a few movements, causing the middle-aged man to show astonishment. For a moment, he even forgot the other party's identity and couldn't help but say:

"Have you used a scimitar before?"

"Impudent!" The guard beside him scolded.

The middle-aged man quickly bowed, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Cohen waved his hand and said:

"It's okay! Donnell, call the next one. This gentleman can leave first. Reward him with ten gold coins and tell him to keep it a secret."

"Proficiency in 'Shield' has reached mastery."

"Proficiency in 'Dual Hammers' has reached mastery."

… …

Finally, after more than ten types of weapons, Cohen heard an exciting voice in his ear:

"Detected that the host is starting the transcendent profession trial—Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster!"

In the game of his previous life, in addition to the official normal advancement sequence, there were also some powerful mysterious professions limited to the human race, referred to as "Secret Professions."

These "Secret Professions" also had very strict requirements for employment.

Even among the "Secret Professions," Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster was definitely the most troublesome, time-consuming, and also the most powerful profession on the Demon Tide Continent.

Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster was a dreamlike person who combined magical power and weapon fighting skills into one. Not only was it one of the few professions that could practice both magic and martial arts, but it was also a super profession capable of mastering the power of the dragon.

The power of the dragon, which came from the top of the food chain on the Demon Tide Continent, the dragon clan that could wrestle with the gods, had always been the ultimate power pursued by transcendents.

Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster not only required the candidate to have dragon blood to engrave the curse seal, but also had to master more than ten kinds of weapons to successfully obtain the profession.

For an ordinary person to master a weapon, it would take at least three years of practice. Ten kinds of weapons would require thirty years. Thirty years to advance to transcendence, even if the profession was powerful, the individual's potential would be exhausted.

Therefore, almost no natives of the continent chose it, and many even believed that this was simply a "Secret Profession" that only existed in written records.

However, for the players, this problem did not exist at all, because players did not need so long to master weapons at all. They only needed to "hang up" with a proficient teacher for an hour to obtain "mastery" proficiency.

The latest novels are first published on [Liиqiushuba].

Ten kinds of weapon mastery had been achieved. Next was to use dragon blood to inscribe the "Dragon Power Transfer Seal" on both hands. The inscription method of the seal had been lost for thousands of years, but for Cohen, it was not a problem at all—it was something that was all over the strategy forums in his previous life.

The biggest obstacle for players in their previous life to advance to this profession was dragon blood. Players in the novice village had no chance to come into contact with dragon blood, this kind of top-quality strategic material.

However, this was not a problem for Cohen, who was the King of Aefienne, because it was when Aefienne was in great turmoil and the royal capital was destroyed in his previous life that a group of players discovered that there was a bottle of genuine dragon blood in the treasury of the Aefienne royal family!

It was because of this bottle of dragon blood in the national treasury that Cohen had the idea of obtaining the 【Dragon Mark · Weapon Grandmaster】 profession.

Although his transcendent strength was no longer there, Cohen's soul perception was still sharp. He didn't need to turn his head to know that the Queen had come.

The Queen's jade face was slightly tired, but her voice was still cold:

"Has Your Majesty chosen a transcendent profession?"

Learning from the palace maids that Cohen had stayed in the martial arena for a whole day made the Queen very gratified.

Cohen turned his gaze to the Queen, sighing inwardly:

A powerful mage close to the legendary rank would never show fatigue due to a day of government affairs. The fact that the Queen was like this could only mean that taking down a legendary high-rank with one move was not without a price. The damage to the body and spirit from that kind of magic array that could greatly amplify magic power must be very serious.

Adelaide had always been like this, always doing more than she said. Before he awakened the memories of his previous life, his coldness towards her was probably due to this.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Cohen replied:

"I don't feel particularly fond of anything. I'll listen to you, sister, and choose 【Paladin】."

The Queen was not surprised and said:

"There is a legendary-rank 【Paladin】 in the Senate. He is also your father's cousin and student. Starting tomorrow, you can go to him to learn."

Cohen's eyes flickered slightly, and the image of a black tower-like strong man with a dark, thick body full of sinews appeared in his mind.

Hogg · Corleone, his uncle. As a face-value fanatic, Cohen had not been very close to his uncle, who was of the "black, rough, and hard" style, since he was a child. Hogg himself was also a martial arts fanatic who listened to no one except his brother, Victor · Corleone. Their interaction was limited to eating a meal during festivals.

In the game of his previous life, Hogg died in the great turmoil to protect Cohen. He was one of the few members of the Senate that Cohen could command.

Originally, Cohen was still worried about how to cover up his treasure hunt in a few days, but with Uncle Hogg, this problem was solved.

Cohen nodded quickly:

"Okay, sister, I will definitely work hard to cultivate!"
