Chapter 331 - Chapter 332
The meal was conducted by Shaoko and three female spellcasters. After eating according to the ancient bun, Lan Weier first started the topic. Because she still has the intelligence personnel, she thought it was necessary to talk to Shaoko about some of the things that happened today.
"Snow Night Mage, today the patrol team was used to hunt hundreds of people who were making trouble here, most of whom were outsiders from last year." After saying that, Lan Weier looked at Shaoke with some concern and said, "Some intelligence shows that some organizations have begun to erode the areas we control. If we don't resist, I believe they will launch a large-scale attack on us soon."
Lan Weier's concerns are not unreasonable. If seven or eight large organizations launch an attack on Shaoke's controlled areas at the same time, with their current strength, there is no way to resist in any form. The final result is that Shaoke and the others will be completely eliminated.
"Today some people came to the academy and asked us to hand over the remaining twelve mage towers, otherwise they would punish us." Mage Roman took a sip of wine, and then said another news that surprised Shaoko. "That's what they said. Among them were people from the Orpheus family and people from the Mage Union." After that, Mage Roman looked at Shaoko strangely, but didn't say anything else.
"I don't like hearing such news." Shaoke slightly turned the silver wine glass in his hand. He has not changed this wine glass since he was performing a mission in the Mist Forest. "The people from the Death Mage said they will help us settle these things, so we don't need to worry about anything. Remember those families and organizations that conflict with us. I think we must take some revenge on them if we have time in the future." After saying that, Shaoke finished drinking the red wine in the wine glass in one breath, he whispered: "I hate the so-called punishment the most now.
”
As Shaoko said, the low-level mages of the Death Mage Group began to operate that night under the leadership of some eighth-level mages, and this time the targets were all the organizations and families in the Shaoko area. Thousands of third-level or even fourth-level death mages would not care about everything. The crazy killing lasted for a whole night. Tens of thousands of heads were cut down by these death mages and piled up in the square in the center of the fallen imperial capital. Next to the square was the manor of the city lord's master.
When Shaoko arrived at this news the next day, he smiled helplessly. He did not believe that the Death Mages' behavior was for him. He felt that the Death Mages' purpose was to establish their authority here. After all, except for the Mage Union, no organization can send dozens of eighth-level mages and thousands of low-level mages to join the battle. What's more, the Death Mages' target of revenge this time was no large-scale organizations like the Mage Union and the Orpheus family.
After a bloody killing by the Death Mages, the entire fallen emperor calmed down again, but this calm was short-lived and was based on the crazy behavior of the Death Mages, rather than the powerful organization of the Shaoko. Of course, Shaoko no longer cared about the development of his organization, because some mages with slightly more qualifications could not resist the temptation of the Death Mages, and they all joined the Death Mages. Given this situation, he was too lazy to recruit people to make wedding dresses for the Death Mages.
As time goes by, the changes in the fallen imperial capital have become increasingly greater. The most obvious thing is the huge mage tower built by the Death Mage Group. After four years of construction, nearly 10,000 mages have joined the construction, and the construction speed is getting faster and faster. However, Shaoke suddenly withdrew from this construction work at this time, thinking that he felt that he could never learn any more knowledge there, so it would be better to go back to the mage tower in the academy to conduct submission cultivation with peace of mind!
Since the fallen imperial capital is now completely controlled by the Blue Feather Empire, the conflicts in the city have been significantly reduced. At this time, the people of the Death Mage Group also gave up helping Shaoko control the area. There are many reasons. We will not explain it here.
After losing the help of the Death Mage Group, some imperial territorial organizations began to slowly erode the control area of Shaoko. After all, his weak territorial power controlled one-seventh of the area of the fallen imperial capital. Every day, a large amount of magic materials were used as taxes and entered the pocket of Shaoko. In this case, some large families were very jealous.
A large number of organizations carefully eroded, which made Shaoko very distressed. Because a large number of high-level mages were organized to leave, the strength of his organization was greatly reduced. For this reason, Shaoko only made some passive resistance. Lan Weier, in accordance with Shaoko's requirements, remembered the organizations and families that eroded them one by one, waiting for future revenge.
On this day, when Shaoko was trying to describe the magical text he obtained on the fallen horn, the scepter in his arms suddenly vibrated. This time the earthquake was the first earthquake in the past three or four years.
"Mage Xueye. I think we should talk about it well." The female mage in her cloak still covered her cloak and was talking calmly with the image of the scepter on the ground.
"Dear Master Di. I am happy to accept your invitation." Shaoke respectfully gave a courtesy to the female mage of blue robe. Then he quietly waited for the other party to talk next.
"Do you remember the ancient ruins we went to explore together back then?" The blue-robed female mage did not be too polite and quickly explained the reason why she was looking for him.
After hearing the words of the Blue Robe's female mage, Shaoke just nodded and said that he knew. After getting the answer, the Blue Robe continued to say, "I want to invite you to participate in the exploration of that ruin again. This time there are only two of us." Then the Blue Robe's female mage added, "The harvest there is two-thirds of mine, one-third of yours, and all distributions are based on the rules. If there are items you don't like or cannot use, you can exchange them with me." After saying that, the Blue Robe's female mage talked in detail about the distribution rules, and finally stopped talking.
"Dear Master, you can find other eighth-level existences to go there for detection." After saying that, Shaoke looked at the other party in confusion. He didn't understand why the female mage of blue robe probed the ruins and suddenly invited him, the seventh-level mage. This made him a little uneasy.
"Do you want me to invite those from the Death Mage Group?" The female mage of blue robe curled her lips, "
As soon as I came here, I searched the ruins in detail. Moreover, the ignorance of the Russian Empire occurred to them. They spent a full year searching for all areas around the fallen imperial capital, thinking of finding similar ruins again." After saying that, a kind of contempt appeared in the eyes of the female mage in the blue robe, which was an unconcealed contempt for the Death Mage.
"They have completely detected that ruin. What else can we gain from there?" After hearing the Blue Robe Master's explanation, Shaoke became even more confused.
"Without the help of a prison mage, they wanted to completely scrape off the items in the ruins, which was simply impossible." The female mage of blue robe raised her head slightly, revealing her slightly pale face.
"What's more, some of the things inside can be opened up by not just the level and number." When he said this, the female mage of blue robe seemed to have thought of something, suddenly changed the subject and asked Shaoke again whether he was willing to join this team exploring the ruins.
After thinking for a while, Shaoke quickly explained his current situation and finally said that he still had to stay here because he was worried about the safety of Master Roman and the others.
"Do you want to stay here for a lifetime?" said the Blue Robe Mage in a surprising tone. "You are too slow to collect magical materials like this, and you have seen it. How much engineering land does it take to build a mage tower similar to Death Mage? Those magical materials, even if you completely control the fallen capital, will not be able to collect them successfully without hundreds of years."
"After you are promoted to an eighth-level mage, you can snatch some minerals without any estimates. I believe that in that case, you can collect all the items you need in a short period of time." As he said this, the Blue Robe Mage glanced at Shaoke deeply. "If you have the opportunity to become an eighth-level mage, I believe you will no longer have the idea of building such a mage tower in a short period of time."
Shaoke didn't want to talk to the Blue Robe Mage on this topic, so he politely refused the other party's invitation. Faced with this situation, the eighth-level female mage just shook her head helplessly and stopped talking. Then she closed the communication scepter and disappeared.
After the image of the female mage in the blue robe disappeared, Shaoke sat alone in the chair, quietly thinking about the news that the female mage had just passed. Although he had been a seventh-level mage for more than 20 years, he still didn't know much about many things in this world. Many confusions have been buried in his heart, waiting to answer them one by one if he has time in the future.
"Master Snow Night, can I talk to you about a few questions?" Just as Shaoke was meditating, the door suddenly rang out rhythmically. After Shaoke welcomed the guests in, he realized that he had been promoted to the fifth-level Blue Weier. During this period, Lan Weier had been quickly promoted to a fifth-level mage under a large number of high-level medicines and the top-level meditation methods.
"What's the matter?" Shaoke rubbed her head as before and finally asked.
"If my mother returns to the imperial capital, what I mean is to return to the imperial capital of the Blue Feather Empire, will you still go back with her?" Lan Weier looked at Shaoke in a panic. She found that her mother was a little bored during this period. After asking, she realized that Master Roman was going to be promoted to a seventh-level alchemist. According to the agreement with the Blizzard Legion that year, after she was promoted to a seventh-level mage, she had to return to the Blizzard Legion.
"Of course, I will always be with Mo Qianer." Shaoke looked at Lan Weier with some confusion. He didn't know why the other party suddenly asked about these things. "What's the matter? There is no need to go around with me." Shaoke pointed to the chair opposite and asked Lan Weier to sit there, but she shook her head and refused.
"What should we do if that scholar also wants to go with us?" Speaking of this, Lan Weier looked at Shaoke with some dissatisfaction. Perhaps because she had not lived alone, some of her emotions could not be well concealed. And now this is the case.
"Yes, if she wants, she can go back to the imperial capital with us." Shaoke frowned and asked, "Is Mo Qianer about to be promoted to a seventh-level alchemist?"
Lan Weier did not hide anything about Shaoke's speculation. She told her details about the news she received from her mother, and finally added: "I don't like the scholar. She sometimes makes her mother feel uncomfortable." After saying this, Lan Weier's eyes suddenly turned red and swollen. She hugged Shaoke's neck and added: "Why do you want to be with that scholar? I don't want you to do this." After saying that, she couldn't help crying.
Shaoke was not unprepared for Lan Weier's sudden loss of composure, because he had discovered that Lan Weier had no choice but to do something deep in her heart, but she was just trying to hide it at that time. Today, she finally expressed her true feelings. But things have become like that. He could not abandon the white-robed scholar and ignore her, as this would make him feel uncomfortable.
After holding Lan Weier and comforting her, Lan Weier slowly fell asleep in Shaoke's arms. Shaoke then released a sleeping spell to allow her to sleep for a while, because this would be of some help to her body. After doing this, he put Lan Weier on the bed and returned to the writing table to continue trying to write the thirteen strange symbols on the golden horn.
The work went smoothly. When he only completed one-fifth of each character, the crystal paper as the carrier began to burn, and then a turbulence occurred in the meditation space, causing his writing to fail. However, such failure did not prevent him from continuing to carry out this writing work, because the thirteen words were a kind of words that were older than the ancient magic words. The mage also influenced the horn and gradually mastered some of the uses of these thirteen magic words, but he did not have any ability to write and speak, which made him very distressed.
After a while, Master Roman and Master Bai's robe came to Shaoke's room at the same time. After seeing Lan Weier sleeping quietly on the bed, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After Master Roman went to Shaoke to observe for a while, he went to Shaoke and whispered that he should have told her the news about Lan Weier here earlier, so that they would not be anxious to find them.
After appeased the two female spellcasters, Shaoko told them what Lan Weier had just said, and finally held the two female spellcasters in his arms, "I won't let any of you leave me, you should
.” After saying that, he kept kissing their bad thoughts on the faces of the two female spellcasters. “Mo Qianer, when do you feel like you will start to advance?”
"It won't be too long." Master Roman put his head on Shaoko's shoulder and answered quietly. "Everyone is going to die, no one can resist the passage of time. We have just stayed in this world for a little longer." At this point, Master Roman sighed softly and stopped talking.
"We will be promoted to legend." Shaoke found that the monk's face was also a little sad, so he comforted them in a low voice so that they could feel happy. Especially Master Roman, she was about to be promoted to a seventh-level alchemist. During this period, she must maintain her best condition to prevent the promotion from failing.
"That is too far away for us." The white-robed scholar suddenly took a deep breath, then hugged Shaoke tightly and kissed him. "How many seventh-level mages have stayed at this level for the rest of their lives! How many eighth-level mages have not been promoted to a higher level before their lives are exhausted! It is too difficult to become a legend." The scholar expressed his thoughts pessimistically. The Roman master on the side nodded in agreement with her statement. It seems that she thought so too.
"If we always think that we don't have a chance to be promoted to a legend, then we will not have a chance to enter that legendary field at all." After thinking for a while, Shaoke continued to add: "At least we should have a goal. Only in this way can we not feel bored on this road."
"Born?" Master Roman refuted Shaoke in a surprising tone. "Don't you know how comfortable the lives of those high-level mages in the imperial capital are? They can enjoy everything they can enjoy there, and they will not feel bored at all." This time, the white-robed scholar also nodded and recognized Shaoke's words, and then she added the words of Master Roman.
"Seldom people practice magic like you, crazy. Well! Perhaps only those from the Death Mage Group will act like you later!" As she said this, the Master of the Sutra suddenly laughed out loud. Then he brought other news to Shaoke. "I'm going to be promoted to the seventh level, too." After saying that, she raised her head slightly, waiting for Shaoke's appreciation. Of course, her hope was not disappointed.
After talking to two female spellcasters for a while, Shaoke used his spell to awaken Lan Weier, because it was already night and dinner had begun. If the delay was too long, it would delay some of the mages' later homework to a certain extent!
In Lan Weier's puzzled eyes, the four of them hurriedly had dinner. Then, at Shaoke's request, Lan Weier pouted and returned to her room, while Shaoke and two women went to his room to rest.
After some **, Master Roman lazily lay on the bed, "Snowy Night, let's give up what areas we control outside! We don't have much power to keep those areas safe now."
"I will give up these control areas when we leave." Speaking of this, Shaoke not only used some strength, but also made the scholar who was enjoying Shaoke caressing a little painful. Fortunately, the male mage discovered it in time and did not cause any adverse effects on her, but some blue traces were still unavoidable.
"What the Orpheus family did this time is too much." The Master of Sutra moved his body a little and told him what he encountered today. And her statement this time made the impression of the Orpheus family worse. When he was building the first laboratory of the magic, he was destroyed by a fifth-level mage of the Orpheus family. Unexpectedly, after he came to the capital, he had a conflict with the Orpheus family again.
It turned out that today, a head of the Orpheus family found a sutra master here. He hoped that the White-robed Sutra master could give up half of the mage tower for the Orpheus family to use and give up half of the academy control. For this reason, the White-robed Sutra master had a quarrel with the person in charge. If it weren't for the fact that both sides had some estimates, the war would have begun. Even so, the head of the Orpheus family still gave Shaoke and the others a deadline. If the Jingshi did not do what they said during this deadline, the war would continue.
"How long did the Orpheus family stipulate?" Shaoke took a deep breath, then asked the teacher the specific time, and he wanted to prepare for some future things.
"It's only three days." The Master of Jing moved his body slightly, "It's better to do what they said! It's impossible for us to fight the Orpheus family. Their strength is too strong." When he said this, the Master of Jing closed his eyes and enjoyed Shaoko's caress.
“We have a way to solve this problem.
"Shaoke comforted the scholar for a few words perfunctorily, then put on his nightgown and began to meditate. He is now eager to be promoted to an eighth-level mage, so that he can do something without any scruples. The more reason is that he does not have to be underestimated.
Three days came soon. Just as Shaoko was resting in his room on the mage tower, the warning array of the mage tower suddenly sounded, and then an image of a white-robed sutra appeared on the wall. "Ophis family has surrounded our mage tower, and they have injured several young mages." After that, the sutra hurriedly closed the magic communication and turned on all the protective spells on the mage tower.
"Who are you? Leave me here immediately. Why are you hurting these mages here? Who gave you this right?" Shaoke quickly took the magic prop to the first floor, which was a huge living room. On weekdays, many mentors from the academy and some low-priced mages who left the academy but still stayed in the fallen imperial capital. Now, except for the few third-level mages who fell on the ground and kept wailing, only a few low-level mages stayed here. Others Shaoke quickly determined through their logo that they were mages of the Orpheus family and some other professions.
"Are you the ruler here?" The middle-aged mage led by the leader looked at Shaoke carefully. "It's just a few low-level mages. They won't have any losses to you if they have any!" The middle-aged mage pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at Shaoke slantedly.
