Immortal In The Magic World

by Stayrr

Eli was transmigrated to a world of magic and became immortal. He had endless life and could never die. “Huh? I’m talentless? Then, I’ll just train for as long as I need, even if it takes 1000 years. That should be enough for me to become strong.” “The skill is hard to learn? Then, I’ll take a few dozens of years to research it. There’s no way it’s that hard, right?” “What? I can s

Queen Cynthia had long forgotten when she had cried the last time!

On the day of her father's death, she cried.

After that, no matter if it was the harassment from powerful countries or the political disputes of the Empire, she never cried. It was not that she did not want to cry, but she knew that she could not cry!

How could the Queen of the kingdom shed tears?

However, when she put on the perfume and smelled it, she was sure that the perfume was ordinary and couldn't even enter her collection. However, it made her feel like she had seen her father.

When she was young, her father always liked to hold her in his arms and tell her about the kingdom. She would also pull her father's beard, and the two of them would laugh together.

That was her happiest time.

"Venus? What a nice perfume!" More than ten seconds later, Queen Cynthia wiped away her tears and clenched the perfume in her hand.

This perfume seemed to let her see what she wanted to see the most. It was a feeling that she had never felt before in other perfumes. How should she put it? It was wonderful, but she really liked it.

"It's a really good perfume." Queen Cynthia was very happy. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

She tidied up and called for the guard to get Aria.

Aria and Victor were in the room next door, waiting.

"Aria, you can't win against me. The Chamber of Commerce should have been mine. If you are willing to come back, I will welcome you." victor said as kindly as ever.

"Stop talking nonsense now. Don't you feel disgusted?" Aria just glanced at him and ignored him.

He was anxious, not knowing what had happened.

Could it be that the perfume was too strong?

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening was heard.

A guard walked in, and both Aria and Victor stood up immediately.

The guard glanced at the two of them and said, "Aria Kazan, the queen wants to see you. as for victor Kazan, you can leave. "

Victor felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at Aria, who was not far away, with a face of disbelief.

How was that possible?

A smile finally appeared on Aria's face. He immediately followed the guard.

But when he saw the Queen again, the first thing the Queen said was, "I don't think the name Venus is good. Let's call it Starlight, the only ray of light among the stars in the sky."

Aria was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.

"From today onwards, this perfume will be called Starlight."

He got it.

...

Victor walked away in a daze.

Aria left smugly.

Queen Cynthia returned to the main hall and sat on her throne. She held the bottle of perfume in her hand.

Queen Cynthia had long since gotten used to the cold throne. She once again sprayed a little bit of perfume and sniffed. In an instant, a strange attraction spread over her body.

She didn't cry. Last time, she had only cried because she had suppressed her tears for too long. After venting her emotions, she was still the majestic queen of the empire.

At this moment, someone else walked into the hall.

"My queen, marquis Alina of the Bryne empire requests to meet you again!" This was a woman who also exuded the aura of a Grand Knight. However, she was a little confused at this time. Looking at the Queen, she felt that the Queen was particularly attractive today, which made her want to tease her.

"Yes. Let him come!" Queen Cynthia nodded.

"But didn't you say that you won't see them last time, my queen?" The woman was puzzled. She had grown up with the Queen and had the closest relationship with her. Now, there were only two of them, which was why she asked this question.

Queen Cynthia glanced at her and said, " the Bryne empire is stronger than the Lorraine kingdom, but the Lorraine kingdom is richer than the bryne empire. This is not a good thing.

"So I needed to give them a warning and wait for the right time to talk about the conditions. Otherwise, they will only think that we are weak."

"Didn't your majesty tell me yesterday that we won't do that so soon? Why are we doing it today?" The woman asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I'm just in a good mood." Queen Cynthia glanced at her and didn't say anything.

"Let's go. Let's go meet the Marquis of Bryne." Queen Cynthia said calmly as she walked down from her throne.

It was originally planned, but she was in a good mood today, so she decided to bring this process forward.

As for a reason, it was probably because of that small bottle of perfume.

...

At the same time, in a conference room, Marquis Alina sat in the front, his expression calm.

Behind him were the others, most of them looking nervous. If they were nervous for a while, they might be rejected without hesitation.

"I hope this time will go smoothly." marquis Alina calmly looked ahead, deep in thought. historical

In fact, Queen Cynthia's repeated rejections had already caused his original confidence to waver. He wondered if he should lower the conditions a little.

This Queen was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Just as they were thinking, the door suddenly opened.

Queen Cynthia walked in front with the group of people following behind.

The Queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of majesty emanated from her. This Queen, who had ruled the kingdom for nearly 20 years, had long let the other countries know that she was not to be trifled with.

Everyone took their seats.

Marquis Alina took a deep breath and prepared to speak.

"I agree to the alliance. Let's talk about the conditions." However, before Marquis Alina could speak, Queen Cynthia spoke.

"Huh?"

Marquis Alina choked on his breath and almost couldn't breathe.

His mind was filled with questions. What had happened?

Why did the Queen change so much?

...

The next day, in the morning, eli had received news that Aria had received the queen's support and had already returned to the chamber of commerce, preparing to eliminate victor. This was normal, and in this way, Eli felt that his efforts were not in vain.

A small amount of investment was about to turn into a huge amount of wealth, which would give Eli the possibility of obtaining wealth and freedom in the future.

But the news he received in the afternoon surprised him.

The Alliance had actually succeeded.

This made Eli look at Marquis Alina in a new light. He didn't expect him to turn the situation around so quickly.

But what he did not know was that Marquis Alina was even more confused than he was. He just wanted to know why!

However, success was only the beginning. What followed would be the negotiations for the exchange of interests. That would be the time for the real confrontation. Marquis Alina would not give up on the interests of the Empire, and Queen Cynthia would definitely show her skills.

This would probably take some time.

At this time, the doctors, scholars, and the other people that they had brought with them could finally play their roles. They were assigned to various departments in the Lorraine Kingdom to learn and communicate.

Eli and Clement were assigned to a small team of scholars.

They would work together on a project that people were not optimistic about.

"The Empire's ruins?"

Even when Eli heard the news from Clement, he still found it strange.

There was actually a scholar who specialized in researching and looking for the location of a ruin.

"Don't be so surprised. This Empire's ruins are not simple." In the carriage, scholar Clement glanced at Eli. The two of them were on their way to the research team.

Scholar Clement had gotten some information from his old friend in advance and knew some details. The master and disciple were randomly assigned to a research group about the ruins of the Empire.

The main purpose was to find and verify the authenticity of the Empire's ruins.

Speaking of these ruins, it wasn't that long ago, about two hundred years ago, but it had a very long History. At that time, the Lorraine Palace wasn't the Lorraine Kingdom yet, and it was occupied by an Empire called the Olisen Empire.

Later on, the kingdom was destroyed by bryne. Before its destruction, the king of the Olisen empire had hidden most of the empire's treasures and treasures.

As for where it was hidden, not many people knew. This was also the mystery of the ruins.

It was only after that that the Lorraine Kingdom was established and continued to this day.

This research project was founded by a Grand scholar of the Lorraine Empire more than a decade ago. At that time, the Queen also paid a lot of attention to it. Scholars from all over the country, historians, and even geographers participated in it.

It caused a huge sensation in the Kingdom's academic world. At that time, there were hundreds of people participating in this project at the same time. Every year, the Empire would also provide a large amount of financial support.

"What did they find?" After getting a general understanding of the subject, Eli asked curiously. historical

"What do you think?" Scholar Clement rolled his eyes at him.

Eli also patted his head. What a stupid question. If he really found it, why would there be a research project? Was he infected by Herman?

"Speaking of which, when my friend told me about this, he said that it would definitely be a surprise for us!" Clement added, a little curious.

On the other hand, Eli had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

"We're here, scholars!" The carriage stopped as well. Eli and scholar Clement exchanged a glance. Scholar Clement stepped out of the carriage first, and Eli followed closely behind.

The two of them got off the carriage and looked at the scene in front of them. Then, they fell silent at the same time.

They were no longer in the city but on a small, isolated road in the East of Duoling. There were low-rise buildings everywhere, and the highest was only two stories high. Most of them were in bad shape.

They were left on this Street, in the middle of the road. Looking around, there was no so-called project team.

Scholar Clement looked at the ground, which was mixed with stone and mud, and asked, "Where is the project team?"

"Teacher, over there!" The sharp-witted Eli had already discovered the target of their trip.

A worn-out sign hung between the walls of two nearby buildings. A hemp garment waiting to dry was hung on the sign, and through the garment, one could faintly see a few large words on it.

The Empire's Ruins.

Clement and Eli looked at each other and understood what the surprise was.

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe it'll be much better inside." The corner of scholar Clement's mouth twitched as he consoled himself.

The two of them walked into the alley and tried to ignore the garbage and the running rats. At the end of the alley, they saw a passage that led underground.

Without a doubt, this was their destination.

As a student, Eli politely gestured for the teacher to enter first.

Scholar Clement took a deep breath and strode into the narrow and dark entrance.

Inside, it was a small basement with dim lights. There was a huge table in the middle, surrounded by bookshelves with all kinds of maps and documents.

As for the researchers, there were three of them.

One of them was buried in a pile of maps, looking for something. Another one was lying on the mountain of books, studying something with his head lowered. The last one had his eyes closed as if he was thinking about life.

Eli and scholar Clement looked at each other again.

This project seemed to be a little unabandoned. It was a little unreliable.

"Wow, finally a new person? "

Suddenly, as if he had heard a sound, the man, with his eyes closed, opened them. When he saw Eli and the other man, his eyes lit up instantly, and he got up in an instant.

"Hello, I'm the person in charge of the Empire's ruins. Welcome, welcome!"

The man held scholar Clement's hand and said excitedly.

"Uh, we're from the bryne empire. we're here for scientific exchange." Scholar Clement smiled with difficulty and explained.

"Oh, I remember now." As if he had thought of something, the man revealed a look of sudden realization.

"Wait a minute. I'll get you a glass of water!" The man explained, then immediately ran to a shelf and looked left and right. After a few minutes, he walked back awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, but we don't seem to have any extra cups here. If you don't mind, you can use my cup." The man was a little embarrassed.

"It's fine." the corners of Eli's mouth twitched. It seemed like this project team was even less important than he thought.

"You guys don't seem to be in a good situation!" Eli looked around. There was almost nothing new, not to mention the two workers who didn't even raise their heads.

"Indeed, ever since the kingdom thought that it was a stupid and wrong decision to spend time and energy on this, we have not received a single cent. Scholars also need money, and now, there are only three of us left." the man shook his head and explained sadly.

" Oh, right, you can call me Ake, a natural scholar. He's Arthur, a scholar who studies history. This is Vera, a scholar who likes to study maps. But they're both fanatical, so they might not like to talk and communicate. " Ake stood there and pointed at the other two as he spoke to Eli and Clement.

That was true. The two of them had been in here for so long, but they had no reaction at all.

"Arthur, Vera!" Ake couldn't stand it anymore. He finally ran over and pulled the two up.

Arthur was a thin man with dark circles under his eyes, while Vera was a freckled lady. Although she didn't dress up, her facial features were decent.

"Welcome, welcome." The two of them were pulled over to greet Eli and Clement.

"I'm eli. This is my teacher, scholar clement! " Eli introduced as well, and the group got to know each other.

"Welcome to the team!"

After getting to know each other, a smile appeared on Ake's face while Arthur and Vera returned to their work.

On the other hand, Eli and Clement felt like they had been scammed.

Since he had no choice, he could only accept it.

Eli and clement took their simple luggage and settled down here. The most fortunate thing was that the bedrooms here were still in good condition and relatively clean.

Early in the next morning, Ake gathered everyone and decided to have a seminar to discuss what to do next.

"Before we start the discussion, scholar Clement and Eli, please introduce what you're good at so that I can arrange work." Asked ake.

"I'm good at history, Botany, and some natural science." Scholar Clement said.

"I'm good at history and heraldry." Eli continued.

"Yes, Botany may not be of much help, but history will be of some help. No wonder you were assigned here. But you must not be so familiar with the history of the Lorraine Kingdom. I need to think about how to arrange the work." Ake fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he heard snoring sounds. Arthur had fallen asleep and was drooling on the table. Vera nodded her head.

The corner of ake's mouth twitched when he saw this.

"I'm sorry, both of them like to work at night. They're always like this during the day!" Explained Ake.

"It's okay, let's continue." scholar clement closed his eyes in despair and accepted the situation a few seconds later.

"Okay, I'll continue. Where were we just now? Oh, I'm talking about history. The Lorraine Kingdom was built on the foundation of the Olisen Empire. We've also received most of the Empire's heritage, so our history here is a little complicated. Speaking of which, if you want to talk about it, you'll have to start from the first king of Bryne, Saleen Merlin."

What the hell did he just hear?

What?

The first king of Bryne, Saleen Merlin?

Saleen Metatrin!

"Ake!" Eli's breathing was a little rushed as he quickly interrupted Ake.

"Ake, wait a minute. How do you know the name of the first king of the bryne Empire? almost no one in the bryne Empire knows this name." Eli asked. He had not been this excited for a long time.

"Oh, right, this should be confidential information, but it's fine. You've already joined the project team, so you'll know some things. I forgot to tell you. The project team was directly under the Queen's supervision at that time. So, even though we don't have money, we still have the authority.

"We can even enter the Empire's second library to read some important documents. However, don't you know the name of your first king?" Asked Ake.

Eli nodded.

In just a moment, he slightly understood.

He had never entered the real library of the kingdom, so he did not know some of the secrets. But here, some things were not necessarily secrets, and the information here might be more accurate than the Bryne Kingdom.

This was because many countries would modify their own content. For example, Saleen Merlin had hidden his name and the people around him in the Bryne history, but other countries would not!

Subtly, Eli felt his breathing quicken.

If it was true, this project team was a treasure vault for him!

The treasure did not matter. More importantly, it allowed him to get closer to Bryne's history, the real history.

Furthermore, combining the information from before, there was a high probability that this Saleen Metatrin was Saleen Merlin.

On his first day on the project team, he confirmed a question that he had previously suspected.

This was truly a treasure trove.

"Oh, that's right. After all, this information seems to be quite confidential" Ake nodded.

The two of them were speechless. 'Then, why are you telling us?'

"Forget it. I'll just continue." Ake shook his head. "speaking of Saleen Merlin, he actually had a student. Very few people know about this, but it was this student who was the liaison between the Olisen Empire and the Bryne Empire at that time. He was in charge of diplomacy, but it seemed that something had happened later on, and the Empire had destroyed the Olisen Kingdom."

Ake explained slowly, and at that moment, Eli was already numb!

Fortunately, he was assigned to this place. historical

Saleen Metatrin actually had a student who was a diplomat for both empires.

This time, eli didn't ask. Instead, he was prepared to investigate this himself.

This time, he had thought that his biggest gain was the Chamber of Commerce, but now he could only say that he was too shallow and inexperienced.

The ruins of the Empire? This was his treasure.

Soon, Ake gave a simple explanation of the latter part, but there was nothing that eli wanted to hear. Then, he assigned the two of them their jobs.

He mainly gave them some historical documents to read. Of course, if they wanted to read more advanced information, they could also tell him. He could bring them to the Kingdom's second library.

Clement sighed while Eli's eyes were shining.

...

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The Bryne Empire and the Lorraine Kingdom were discussing the exchange of interests. Neither side was giving in to the other. This made the negotiations continue, but there was almost no progress. Marquis Alina was so anxious that he could not even eat.

Some were anxious, while others were happy.

For the past month, Eli had been really hungry and thirsty for knowledge.

Not only did he read through all the documents here, he even asked Ake to take him to the second library and read almost all the materials he could.

This was a huge gain for him.

First of all ...

He was certain that Saleen Merlin was Saleen Metatrin, and this was an important discovery.

Second.

He found that Saleen Merlin did have a student named Weiss. It was said that he had appeared here with Saleen. This was also in line with what Marquis Alina had said, that they were outsiders.

Third.

After analyzing the materials, it was found that Weiss had died in the battle with the Olisen Empire, and his items had been seized by the Empire and kept in the Treasury.

The most important point was that when the Olisen Empire was defeated, the treasury's collection was also in ruins. It had disappeared along with the Olisen Kingdom.

Eli guessed that there was a high chance that Weiss was a wizard.

So, now that Eli confirmed there was a relic left behind by a wizard in the ruins of the Empire, and that it was once owned Saleen Metatrin's student, it made Eli feel a little tempted.

Alright, he wasn't tempted but determined to get it.

The only problem was finding the Empire's ruins.

Eli felt that it was time for him to contribute to the project team.

He just wanted to help the poor project team. What was wrong with him?

He could only blame himself for being too kind.

68 Two Months

As time was tight, they would leave once the negotiations were over.

So, Eli even stopped his daily meditation and went straight into studying. He rested seven hours a day and spent the rest of his time working.

This made Clement dumbfounded. Why was his student so diligent?

On the other hand, because of Eli's fanatical work, it also made Ake and the other two accept the two of them. And to their surprise, it seemed that with Eli's participation, their progress actually seemed to have improved a little.

Ten days later, when Eli took out the complete chain of evidence to prove that the ruins of the Empire definitely existed, the entire project team went crazy.

Originally, their progress was still confirming whether the remains really existed. In fact, although everyone had always believed that the remains of the Empire existed, to be honest, there had been no real evidence found, which was also an important reason why the Queen gave up.

"Oh my God, Eli, you're a god. I have to report to the Queen. You're amazing." Ake held the complete piece of evidence in his hand, unable to believe it.

Arthur and Vera were also looking at him in disbelief. They were fanatical, so their love for this project was beyond anyone's imagination.

However, when a project team member progressed faster than they had in years after joining the project team for ten days, the two of them were a little dumbfounded.

"I suggest that we don't report this to the Queen. We should wait until we have more discoveries. Otherwise, if we can't find any more evidence, the whole project might be removed." Eli said calmly.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." Ake nodded, and the other two agreed.

At this moment, although Ake was still the person in charge, the actual central figure had become Eli.

This was also because the three of them really wanted to find the remains, and the project team was very small, so no one knew about their situation.

Beside him, scholar Clement put down his pen and fell silent.

Weren't they here to participate? How did things end up like this?

By the way, scholar Clement had actually contributed a lot to this project. He had helped Eli analyze all the materials, and Eli had found all the connections and obtained evidence.

Actually, it wasn't that Eli couldn't complete it on his own, but the workload was too huge, and they didn't have much time. Eli had to use part of his talent.

The project team had a new leader, and Eli began to assign work to a few people who followed his orders obediently.

It was hard to imagine that ten days ago, he and scholar Clement had just arrived. In the blink of an eye, their status had changed greatly.

It was also the first time that Eli had completely immersed himself in work. It was only twenty days later, when he received the news that Aria had completely taken over the business of the Chamber of Commerce that he suddenly realized that another twenty days had passed.

They'd been progressing very quickly recently. Eli could always find the clues in the discoveries and then eliminate the wrong answers.

It could be said that the current efficiency made Ake feel that they were much more efficient than when they had hundreds of people back then.

On the other side, Queen Cynthia was indeed Queen Cynthia. She completely displayed her unyielding attitude at the negotiation table. The two countries were locked in a heated argument over the exchange of benefits, but no one was willing to take a step back.

This was because every step she took would result in a huge loss. At this moment, Queen Cynthia definitely wouldn't give in just because she was in a good mood. This was a major country-wide transaction, and the only thing that could be decided right now was profit.

Everyone was spinning like a wheel. Everyone was very nervous.

...

The project team for the ruins of the Empire was undergoing some visible changes.

Because of the busy work, the environment there was even worse. There were piles of documents and garbage everywhere. The alley at the entrance was even worse since no one cleaned it.

In the end, it was still eli who couldn't stand it anymore and hired someone to clean it up.

However, when the cleaners entered the ruin and saw the unkempt Ake, Arthur, Vera, and a few others who seemed to have gone crazy, they quickly did the cleaning and ran out of the place.

It was like a mental hospital.

...

Another ten days passed.

"Is the location of the ruins confirmed in this large area?"

The progress of the project had taken a big step forward again.

After ten days of deduction, they confirmed that the ruins should be in an area near the northern mountain range of the Lorraine Kingdom. However, it was very large, and they still needed time to confirm it.

At that moment, Ake felt dizzy.

How could progress be so fast?

It was as if everything had changed ever since Eli and Clement joined, and it was self-evident how much Eli played a role in it. This made Ake even admire him.

Arthur and Vera looked at Eli as if they were looking at a god.

As for Clement, he was a little relieved. It seemed like his student was quite talented.

...

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

The tense atmosphere filled the diplomatic teams of the two countries. Until now, no one was willing to take a step back, which kept their progress at the same level as a month ago.

Marquis Alina felt his head throb, but he could do nothing about it.

The others provided many suggestions, but they were all useless.

For a moment, he thought of the young man, Eli, who had saved his life before. He wanted to ask him if he had a way, but he couldn't find him at all. He only knew that Eli had been in the second library here for five days and hadn't come out. They couldn't see him at all.

Marquis Alina sighed and gave up. Why would he think Eli would have any solutions?

Three days later, Eli returned from the library.

"I've found it!"

Everyone was shocked by his words.

Ake's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it. Arthur, Vera, and scholar Clement all looked up in disbelief.

"I've found the place where the ruins were once buried. It's called the southernmost protruding corner of the hordes mountain range, but it seems that there was an earthquake more than 50 years ago, so the terrain has changed greatly. What we need to do now is to find its current location." Eli finished in one breath.

After going through the analysis and verification of a large amount of information in the library, Eli made some progress. Fortunately, there was still some information left behind from before, which finally allowed him to find the place.

"Alright, we'll go find it now!" As a map scholar, Vera immediately nodded.

The others also helped out. Scholar Clement looked at Eli, feeling that his student had really matured. He was a mature scholar, although he wasn't even a learner yet.

Seeing that the others had started to get busy, a smile appeared on Eli's face.

The rest of the work was not difficult, so he left it to them.

As for him, of course, he was going to sleep.

Even with his mental energy, he was very tired after staying in the library for five days without sleeping.

Looking at Eli, who was lying on the bed, the others didn't have any objections. Instead, they felt that this was what he deserved.

Another three days passed. historical

On this day, Vera, who was buried in the map, looked up with an excited expression and shouted, "I've found it, I've found it.

"We've found the Empire's secret treasure!"

69 The Ruins of the Empire historical

The next day, the news that the ruins of the Empire had been found instantly blew up in Duoling!

No matter if they were nobles or scholars, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded when they heard the news.

No one really thought that this "rumor" that had been circulating for more than a decade was actually true.

Everyone also knew that the discoverer of this incident was the team behind this project.

But everyone knew that it was impossible to have this discovery with just the original three-man team. Then, they found out that all this had happened after the two people named clement and eli had joined the team.

Clement and Eli had become famous all of a sudden, at least in the circles of the Lorraine Kingdom.

Countless scholars and Grand scholars of the Lorraine Kingdom wanted to know how they had found it and where the true location of the ruins was.

Of course, there were also people who suspected that this was a scam. Many people felt that it was completely unreasonable for them to find something that had not been found for decades. They were all waiting to see the diplomatic team of the Bryne Empire made a fool of themselves.

Marquis Alina, who had just finished a failed negotiation, had also heard this news.

While they were still in shock, they decided to look for Eli and Clement immediately. However, when they arrived, they realized that Eli had not gone to the library this time but had already been summoned by the Queen.

The others, whether it was Grand scholar Colt, other scholars, Grand Knights, or others, were all completely shocked.

There were also many people who regretted not befriending them before.

They all had their own thoughts.

...

Just as the others were guessing, eli and the others were indeed summoned.

The group of five was escorted into the palace and met the famous Queen in the main hall.

It was still the same Hall. Queen Cynthia sat high up on her throne, calmly looking down at the entire Hall. Beside her was the female knight.

"Are you sure you've found it?" Queen Cynthia asked.

Even she was in a state of shock.

More than a decade ago, this project team was established with her support. At that time, the Empire was still in a difficult situation and urgently needed a sum of money to fill the gap. Later, because other aspects were developing well, the gap was filled, so she didn't spend more effort on it.

However, even she could not deny that if the ruins were real, the wealth inside could not be completely ignored even by the current Empire. After all, the strength of the Olisen Empire at that time was not inferior to the current Bryne Empire.

The Bryne Empire had once been very strong, but it had weakened a lot in recent years.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We've searched through historical documents and found the original location of the ruins. We also found out about the terrain that was changed by the earthquake fifty years ago. It took us a long time to determine the current location." Ake respectfully said, unable to conceal his excitement.

Queen Cynthia nodded.

As for whether it was true or not, she only needed to confirm it when the time came.

"I'm a little curious. How did this suddenly happen when your progress has been very slow in the past ten years? " Queen Cynthia asked.

"Your Majesty, this was all thanks to the help of scholar Clement and his student, Eli. They were the main force, and I even gave the full command to Eli later on." Ake was a little embarrassed.

"Oh?"

Queen Cynthia was a little surprised. She looked at the two people beside Ake, one old and one young. Needless to say, the old one was scholar Clement, and the young one was Eli.

" Your majesty, I'm clement, and this is my student, eli! "

Scholar Clement was also a little stunned. This was the first time he had met someone of such high status.

"Not bad. If it's true, I won't mistreat you. You can take any three items from the ruins." Queen Cynthia nodded and said.

Everyone was overjoyed. As for the three items, they were the Empire's relics. Who knew how many valuable items there were? The most valuable ones could easily reach several hundred gold tarls.

"Mm, since Eli is the main participant, then, Eli, tell me the details of your discovery." Queen Cynthia revealed a smile. Her troubles from the unsuccessful negotiations had been alleviated significantly, and she found Eli rather pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, this is the process. First, we read through thirty-two books, and then we confirmed the authenticity of the ruins and relics. Then, we read through a large amount of information again." Eli gave a simple description.

"Tell me in detail." Queen Cynthia said again.

"Alright, Your Majesty. But it will take a little time." Eli nodded.

The Knight beside Queen Cynthia pursed her lips when she heard this. How much information could there possibly be?

However, after five minutes of listening to Eli, the corners of the female Knight's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself that it was better to be a Knight, without having to use her brain.

Beside her, Queen Cynthia's expression was the same as usual, as if nothing had changed. However, her slightly trembling eyelashes still showed that she was not calm.

Only after Eli finished speaking did Queen Cynthia heave a sigh of relief. Then, she forced out a sentence, "You've all worked hard!"

It was indeed too hard, and it sounded more tiring than her thinking about national affairs. It mainly referred to logic, thinking, and numbers. Were all the scholars in Bryne so strong?

"You're not bad. The people I sent out tonight should be back soon. you'll know the results when the time comes." Queen Cynthia had received the message last night and summoned Eli and the others today.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked into the hall. It was a Knight.

"Your Majesty, we've checked the area and confirmed that there's something underground. We've detected a large amount of gold. It should be the ruins!" The Knight said as he knelt on the ground with one leg.

"It seems to be true." Upon hearing this, Queen Cynthia's eyes lit up.

At the same time, Eli and the others also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, they had found it on paper, and no one knew the exact situation.

"Eli, you're very talented. If you're willing, you can come to the Lorraine Kingdom, and I can even reward you with a noble title." Queen Cynthia was overjoyed.

"Your majesty, I just want to study. I'm very satisfied with the current situation!" Eli declined politely.

In the future, he might go to other countries, but it was still early. Everything of his was still in Bryne, and he was in no hurry to leave.

"Alright, the door of the Lorraine Kingdom will always be open for you. Of course, scholar Clement is welcome too!" Queen Cynthia nodded and didn't say anything else.

"Since we've proven it, and the place isn't far from Turin, let's go there tomorrow and dig it out." Queen Cynthia's interest seemed to have been piqued as she spoke directly.

The group of people looked at each other. The Queen was also an impatient person!

70 Ruins

That night, Eli and the others were left in the palace. Scholar Clement was a little emotional. This was his first time meeting the Queen of a country. On the other hand, Eli was full of anticipation for the excavation tomorrow.

It had to be said that the Queen was indeed very beautiful. Although she was in her thirties, she looked like she was in her twenties due to the physical fitness of a Grand Knight. She also had a kind of Majesty that ordinary people did not have.

However, compared to the Queen, Eli was more concerned about Saleen Metatrin's student.

"I hope Weiss' inheritance is still there!"

This was the most important reason why Eli was so attentive this time.

He didn't want to waste his time.

...

At the same time, in the palace.

Back in the main hall, Queen Cynthia sat alone on her throne, seemingly in deep thought.

Suddenly, a cloak was placed over the Queen's shoulders.

"It's getting a little cold now." the female knight stood beside queen Cynthia, her eyes fixed on the queen as she spoke in a low voice.

"Ever since I became a Grand Knight more than ten years ago, this wind is no longer cold enough to make me feel cold." Queen Cynthia said calmly as she looked ahead.

"Maybe, but this is a force of habit. When we were teenagers, we were carefree. Our favorite thing was to run to the top of the hall at night to look at the stars. We would wear cloaks, or it would be very cold!" the female knight said with a smile.

"Yes, but we can't go back to how we were before. In the face of time, everyone is equal." Queen Cynthia sighed.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Relax a little." The female knight placed her hand on the Queen's shoulder and said.

"Yes, but not now. I heard that Bryne the sixth is dying. Many countries have been in turmoil recently. We need more power to maintain the hard-won peace." Queen Cynthia said as she looked at the empty Hall before her.

"Alright, I will always be by your side!" The female knight also looked forward.

The female knight was the Empire's general and was in charge of managing the Kingdom's Army. She was also Queen Cynthia's absolute supporter. The two of them had always managed to keep the kingdom in good order.

They were the core of this country.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Eli and the others were led out of the palace early on. They were assigned to their warhorses and were prepared to follow the soldiers to the place where the ruins were buried. They were in charge of observing the ruins.

As for scholar Clement, he wasn't there, mainly because he wasn't young anymore and couldn't ride a horse.

But what Eli didn't expect was that when he and the others arrived, someone was already waiting.

Queen Cynthia was dressed in silver-white armor with a sword hanging from her waist. A crimson cape was draped over her back, and she was riding on a magic horse. Every breath she took would release a pillar of air.

"You guys follow me. We'll set off immediately. We should be there in half a day." Queen Cynthia straightened her body and looked at everyone with a calm gaze.

Eli was surprised. He didn't expect the queen to come out personally. He immediately followed her, and the others followed closely behind.

Just like that, the Queen rode her horse at the very front, while Eli and the others followed behind on both sides. Then, there were a large number of cavalrymen and soldiers around them, and the group quickly advanced toward their target.

Along the way, the Queen didn't say a word, and no one around her said a word.

Because the Queen was going to travel personally, the road ahead had been cleared. Along the way, many big trees could be seen being cut down, as well as mountain rocks that had been moved away.

Four hours later, they arrived at their destination.

This was the foot of a huge mountain range, and there were many green-black rocks that were like chasms. A large number of rocks were piled together, like a small mountain.

In addition to these, hundreds of people had been summoned here in advance. They had completely occupied the surroundings and were ready to clean up everything in front of them at any time.

"Is this the place we found?" Vera looked at the scene in front of her and exclaimed.

" Yes, " Eli replied softly as he looked at the mountain range in front of him.

According to the records from a hundred years ago, this place should be a small plain. However, it was now a corner of a small mountain range. It could only be said that the changes caused by the earthquake were much greater than what Eli had imagined. It was no wonder that this place had not been discovered by anyone for decades.

"Eli, we've confirmed that there's something underground here. Do you have any suggestions? " at this moment, the queen spoke, tilting her head slightly and looking at eli.

"Your Majesty, your people must have already observed everything. I'd better not show off in front of an expert! " Eli replied.

"Yes." Queen Cynthia nodded. She really liked this young man, Eli. He had a good sense of self-awareness and was also very good-looking.

"Let's begin!" Queen Cynthia shouted at the knights and soldiers not far away.

"Everything is for the Queen!" A deafening sound was heard.

Everyone took out the tools that had been sent here in advance and began to dig.

The scene of hundreds of people working at the same time was spectacular. Eli saw that the hill in front of him had instantly shortened by a layer. When the soldiers dug up the soil, if they encountered a stone, the Knights would smash it directly, and then the soldiers would transport the pieces of rocks not far away.

"How are the soldiers of the Lorraine Kingdom compared to Bryne?" Queen Cynthia asked Eli again.

"Very energetic. I can feel that they even worship Her Majesty in their hearts. Her Majesty is their faith!" Eli replied respectfully. He could truly feel the soldiers' support for the Queen.

"What a novel answer!" Queen Cynthia's brows twitched as she revealed a smile that resembled a blooming flower.

She had asked many people this question. Some talked about the combat power of the army, some talked about the quality of the soldiers, and some talked about their cohesion. Eli was the first to talk about faith.

"I investigated you yesterday and suddenly felt that Bryne has really buried your talent. Why don't you come to the Lorraine Kingdom? We are in need of talents like you." Queen Cynthia invited again.

She really did think that Eli was a very talented person.

She had sent someone to inquire yesterday, and only then did she find out that Eli wasn't even a scholar, but only Clement's student, and he was just an ordinary librarian. This shocked her greatly.

Initially, he thought that Eli was a genius scholar from the Bryne Empire, but it did not seem like that was the case. However, judging from the talent displayed in the ruins of the Empire, he was definitely a rare talent.

This could only mean that eli didn't care about fame and fortune at all, which made her like him even more, and she wanted to take him under her wing.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I still prefer the days in the library." Eli had his own thoughts.

If he were to really come here, he would receive a lot of attention, which would make him feel terrible. Furthermore, he had not finished investigating Saleen Metatrin, the king of the Bryne Empire, so how could he leave? historical

"Alright, I'll say the same thing. The door of the Lorraine Kingdom is always open for you." The Queen nodded, indicating that she understood.

She knew that he couldn't persuade Eli. He was definitely not an ordinary young man.

"It's been dug open!" At the same time, not far away, the ground suddenly caved in, revealing a large hole. The soldiers at the side shouted excitedly.

Queen Cynthia's eyes lit up as she rode over on her horse.

"How timely!"

Looking at the leaving Queen, Eli also relaxed a little. If the Queen really invited him again, he really wouldn't know what to do.

But now that they had found the ruins, the next step was to check whether Weiss' inheritance was still there.

Report chapter Comments

"I found it!"

Queen Cynthia was standing not far away. When she saw the golden light reflected off the hole, she felt at ease. Then, she immediately ordered the soldiers to dig.

The soldiers immediately expanded the cave and found that there was a large karst cave underground. It was filled with gold and treasures. A large number of items were piled together like a sea of gold.

All the soldiers' eyes lit up, but they didn't dare to move.

Because all of these belonged to Her Highness the Queen.

As the main force excavating the ruins, they were also the queen's trusted aides and soldiers who had followed the queen for many years.

"Move!"

At the Queen's order, a Knight immediately jumped into the hole, and the others followed. Everyone moved things out.

Eli was also standing not far away, calmly witnessing everything, his eyes searching for the possible remains of Weiss.

The things were moved out one by one and loaded into the carriage. This work continued for three hours and was not finished.

But it seemed like Eli had finally found his target.

As a pair of soldiers were carrying a pile of boxes out, Eli's gaze suddenly sensed something. He looked towards one of the boxes and felt a magical reaction from inside.

However, Eli pretended that he didn't see it. He continued to scan the area casually.

"Damn it. Help!"

Suddenly, a soldier's cry of alarm came from within the cave.

Following the shrill screams, five or six demonic beasts the size of cattle ran out. Each of them had six eyes, and their legs were as sharp as blades.

One of them directly stabbed its leg into the soldier's body and then tore him in half.

"Unknown demonic spider, one intermediate zero circle, five beginner zero circle." Not far away, Eli quickly retreated on his horse and analyzed the strength of the spiders.

He could deal with one intermediate Spider, but it would be troublesome if all of them came out together. Moreover, this was only a part of the spiders that came out. There might be other spiders in the cave.

This made Eli feel lucky that he wasn't here alone.

The Queen rode on her horse and led the way. A spider pounced on her, but with a flash of a sword, the spider was torn in half.

This was the first time that Eli had seen a Grand Knight in action. Compared to Knights, be it in terms of strength or speed, they were far superior. They were on a completely different level. Furthermore, Queen Cynthia had yet to use her elemental powers.

It was obvious that Queen Cynthia didn't expect there to be more demonic spiders here. In order to avoid danger, she quickly retreated after killing one. After all, there were hundreds of soldiers, Knights, and even a few Grand Knights here. She didn't need to do anything.

Queen Cynthia retreated, and the spider was immediately surrounded.

There were at least a few dozen advanced Knights, and in the blink of an eye, these spiders were surrounded and killed. As for the intermediate Spider, it let out an angry howl.

A wind blade flew out, and an intermediate Knight was blown away in an instant. Then, the spider ran towards the empty space. It wanted to escape.

However, it was naturally impossible for it to escape. When it ran to a forest at the side of the mountain, a man suddenly sprang out from the side, holding a huge sword in his hand. Strong wind element instantly wrapped around the sword, and the demonic Spider was torn apart in an instant.

"Is this the power of a Grand Knight?"

Not far away, Eli was watching with interest.

Normally, a Grand Knight would be at the peak of the Knight rank. However, from the looks of it now, it seemed that it was only equivalent to a level 2 acolyte. A slightly stronger Level 2 acolyte could even defeat an ordinary Grand Knight.

After the incident with the demonic Spider, the Grand Knights immediately checked the inside and found seven or eight more spiders. They were quickly killed by the Grand Knights and then burned.

As for the treasures, they were all moved out.

Then, the army returned to Duoling.

As for Eli, he was just an ordinary person, so he naturally followed the Queen back to Duoling.

...

On the way, Queen Cynthia allowed him to choose as he wished.

Eli also casually picked " that chest " and two other high-value items. Queen Cynthia just smiled and had them delivered to Eli's hotel in Duoling.

As for what was inside, she didn't care.

The entire Lorraine Kingdom was hers, and she really didn't think there was anything that could make her look highly at it.

The journey took four hours to get there, and six hours to get back, mainly because there were too many treasures.

And with Queen Cynthia's return, the question of the existence of the Empire's ruins was resolved on its own, causing those who suspected that Eli and the others were faking it to shut up immediately.

The scholars of the kingdom of Lorraine also acknowledged the power of Clement and Eli. However, those who didn't know the inside story still felt that Clement was the main contributor. After all, he was a scholar.

Even Marquis Alina thought so.

However, when he personally visited scholar Clement, he was extremely shocked. It turned out that Eli was the main force, and he was only there for support. This allowed him to completely reevaluate the young man.

However, there were only a few who knew what was going on, so even though this matter still had an impact, a large part of the credit was taken away by Clement, which reduced the attention Eli received.

In fact, many people thought that this was just a teacher leading his students to complete an important topic.

Ake, Vera, and Arthur were indignant about this, thinking that it shouldn't be like this, but Eli thought that it was fine this way. He had already gotten what he wanted, and things like fame were useless to him.

He was full of anticipation to see what was in the box!

But what Eli didn't expect was that he didn't even have time to open the box before he left.

As soon as he returned, marquis Alina immediately sought him out, hoping that he could join the diplomatic team. Eli rejected him in all ways, but the marquis was very determined and finally pulled him in.

Just like that, Eli sneaked into the team of Grand scholars, Grand Knights, and Grand nobles. He stayed with them temporarily and began to get busy.

Most of the time, there was nothing for him to do, and he only spoke occasionally.

Then, a few days later, the negotiations resumed.

It was also at the negotiation table that Eli met a different Queen Cynthia for the first time.

Her words were sharp and she didn't give in. On the battlefield, she was an invincible knight. On the negotiation table, she was a king who would not let go of anything for the benefit of her country.

As for Eli, he was sitting in the corner of the negotiation table.

The negotiations still didn't go smoothly at first. However, Queen Cynthia later spoke about the Empire's ruins and gave a speech.

"Originally, I wouldn't have given in, but your people suddenly gave me a huge inheritance, which is a huge fortune. I'm willing to take a step back in this negotiation and give up some benefits."

Everyone looked at Eli in the corner while Marquis Alina sighed with emotion that good things would happen with this kid. historical

Alina also announced that they could take a step back, and just like that, the negotiations between the two countries rapidly progressed.

Ten days later.

The negotiations ended, and the two countries formed an alliance.

As for Eli, who had only wanted to obtain the legacy of Saleen Metatrin's student, he had inexplicably pushed for diplomatic relations between the two countries. It could only be said to be very intriguing.

After the alliance succeeded, the Bryne convoy did not plan to stay any longer. The exchange was almost over, so they prepared to return to the empire.

"Aria, I am about to leave. Let's talk about the Business Alliance."

In a luxurious room, Eli sat on the main seat while Eli sat on the ground.

This was the Kazan Chamber of Commerce, and today, Eli was here to see Aria for the last time.

"Yes, my lord." Aria nodded respectfully.

After such a long period of turmoil, the Kazan Chamber of Commerce was now completely in his hands. As for Victor, he had long been eliminated and expelled from Duoling.

It was already very kind of him not to kill his uncle directly.

Outside, he was the boss of the largest Kazan Chamber of Commerce in the Lorraine Kingdom, but only he knew that he was now equivalent to a tool. Everything belonged to the young scholar named Eli in front of him.

These days, Eli was very famous in Duoling. Aria had easily collected a lot of information about him, but the more he knew, the more afraid he became. The main thing was that he did not know anything about Eli at all.

"Sir, the Alliance between the two countries has been formed. When the time comes, the two countries will have more contact. Our Kazan Chamber of Commerce will also open a branch in Jun Lin. When the time comes, you can contact them directly. No matter what you need, I will find it for you." Aria said respectfully.

Eli nodded in satisfaction.

Didn't he help Aria with this purpose in mind?

"Oh, there's something else I need you to deal with." As if remembering something, Eli suddenly spoke.

"Please speak."

"There's a rose Chamber of Commerce in Junlin. I heard that they'd encountered some trouble with raw materials recently. You should know what to do, right? " Eli cast a glance at Aria.

"I understand, my Lord." Aria was not a fool, and he understood what he meant.

"Oh, then we'll stop here for today. I'll take my leave first." Eli picked up his hat from the table beside him, put it on, and headed straight for the door.

"I'll send you off!"

Aria stood up immediately.

"No need. Also, don't do those little tricks. If there's a second time, I'll just kill you." Eli shook his head and spoke in a very normal tone.

Aria was stunned.

"Yes, my lord." Aria's breathing quickened, and he lowered his head.

"Yes, I'll punish you slightly this time. It won't be so simple next time."

Eli pushed the door open and walked out.

The next second.

A low groan of pain came from the room behind!

...

The Black Dragon flag fluttered again. historical

The convoy from the Bryne Empire slowly set off from Duoling city and exited the city gate.

Sitting in the carriage, Eli watched as the bustling city of Duoling gradually disappeared from his sight. He slowly pulled down the curtain and sat in the carriage, his heart filled with emotions.

His first trip was over.

It had been almost three months, but he felt as if it had been a long time. It was mainly because this was his first time going out, so he had such a feeling.

However, he had also gained a lot. First, he had obtained control of a large Chamber of Commerce, which would make it easier for him to earn money in the future. He also had a larger and newer supply channel for materials.

The second thing was to obtain Weiss' legacy, which filled him with anticipation. He wanted to know what Saleen Metatrin's student had left behind. He had actually obtained the box a few days ago but found that it was locked. In order to avoid damaging the items inside, he had not opened the box. However, he had already carved out the key.

Oh, and he also got two other things from the Queen. They were two very valuable items worth at least five hundred gold tarls.

After all, there was nothing else with magic in the cave. Even if there was, it would have been eaten by the spiders, so he could only choose the more valuable items.

It was the same for his teacher. Thus, it could be predicted that his teacher would achieve freedom in wealth for a long time in the future.

As for what was in the box, eli decided to wait until they got back. After all, they were in a convoy, and there were too many people. If anything happened, it would be even more troublesome.

At night, the convoy stopped at a place to rest.

"Let's go out and eat something."

After alighting from the carriage, Eli looked back. Compared to the usual carriage he had, his current carriage was much more luxurious. Both the materials and decorations were far better than before, and this one was not far from Marquis Alina's carriage.

It was said that this was a special order from Marquis Alina. Of course, scholar Clement's treatment was almost the same. This was a change in status.

He followed the soldier into a tent. At this time, there were only some high-ranking people in the tent, such as some great nobles and a Grand scholar. Eli ignored them and found a place to sit down and eat.

The others, on the other hand, glanced at him from time to time, looking at him with admiration.

"Eli, come here and eat with us!" suddenly, marquis Alina, who was in the middle of the hall, waved his hand, signaling for Eli to come over. Eli nodded and walked over.

" Eli, you've done a great job this time. Don't worry. I'll definitely tell his majesty the king. He might even personally summon you! " Marquis Alina looked at Eli with a satisfied expression.

"This time, the credit goes mainly to my teacher. I'm just an assistant!" Eli replied with a smile.

It was still fine in the Lorraine Kingdom, even if he was summoned by the Queen. However, if this matter were to be brought back to Jun Lin city, the possibility of it spreading in the city was high. Eli had no intention of meeting the king.

"You're still so humble!" As he ate, Marquis Alina asked, "I heard you're not married yet, right? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? The Alina family has many beautiful girls!"

"No need, thank you, Lord Marquis. Oh, right, Lord Marquis, what do you think of the Lorraine Kingdom?" Eli quickly changed the topic.

"The Lorraine Kingdom has a good Queen!" Marquis Alina thought for a moment before replying.

"I don't know if His Majesty's idea of an alliance is a good thing, but I know that if we don't stop their development, it will be a problem for Bryne in the future, " he said.

Marquis Alina seemed to be interested and began to analyze the situation for Eli in detail.

"Oh, is that so?" On the other side, Eli was eating quickly.

"Hey, why are we talking about this? Let's talk about why you're not married yet!" A few minutes later, Marquis Alina suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Lord Marquis, I've finished eating!" But by then, Eli had already finished eating, so he bade farewell and left the tent.

Marquis Alina looked at Eli's back and smiled.

What a good kid.

73 Weiss' Legacy

The team arrived at Jun Lin at midnight!

So when they arrived at the city, there was no one else other than a team of soldiers and some nobles ' servants to welcome them.

As for Eli and Clement, they asked the carriage driver to send them back. As for the rewards, or if someone wanted to see them, that would have to wait.

Soon, with the sound of horse hooves, Eli returned to his house. The pitch-black house stood in the darkness, and the vines clinging to the railings told Eli that everything was normal.

Eli asked the coachman to carefully move the box down, then asked the coachman to help move it in.

"Yes, sir, of course!" The coachman nodded and looked at the house. He felt that the darkness was particularly terrifying.

He carried the box and walked into the small courtyard.

Whoosh!

He seemed to hear something crawling and making a series of rubbing sounds.

The coachman's heart beat even faster. He glanced around and found some small animal corpses under the vines not far away. He couldn't help but become more afraid.

"Just move it here." Suddenly, Eli spoke.

The coachman immediately put down the box and ran out of the yard. He then got on the carriage and left.

"What's the matter?" Eli shook his head in confusion, looked at the vines, and came to a sudden realization.

He had been away from home for three months, but he had not fed the vines.

However, these were all small problems. He would think about it tomorrow. Eli couldn't wait to see what was in the box!

He took the box into the laboratory and closed the door. Eli opened the box.

In an instant, the contents of the box were displayed before his eyes.

There was a crystal ball and three books.

It was definitely a great harvest.

There weren't many things, just books, and a crystal ball, but it was enough to surprise him. historical

Eli immediately picked up the books. The three books were 'Warlocks' bloodline choice', 'advanced potionology', and' advanced alchemy'.

When he saw the names of the three books, Eli's mouth was wide open. These were all stores of knowledge. They were all that he lacked the most, what he wanted the most.

He first picked up advanced potionology and immediately flipped through it.

In an instant, looking at the familiar yet higher level of knowledge in the book, Eli trembled in joy. Be it the special techniques recorded in it or some new potions, they all made Eli feel as if a new world had been opened up.

Eli read through it hungrily and only reluctantly stopped after two hours.

He had almost forgotten about today's mission. He had to sort out these things first!

He then picked up the other advanced alchemy book and carefully read it. He was also very surprised because he saw how rough his original technique was.

Every mage had an instinctive pursuit of knowledge, and even Eli was no exception.

To him, the harvest this time was far more precious than a Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh, there's one more." as if recalling something, Eli picked up the last book.

Regarding this book, Eli was really curious.

Saleen Metatrin's notes had very little information about the future of a first circle sorcerer, so it appeared like bloodline warlocks were part of it.

He didn't know much about bloodlines.

He flipped open the book.

He found that there were all kinds of bloodlines, their advantages, and disadvantages, as well as a comparison, how to choose the most suitable bloodline, and what bloodline to integrate when advancing!

Bloodline integration?

When Eli saw this line, he had a strange expression on his face. What did this mean?

Wasn't advancing one's mental strength the only requirement to progressing as a mage? Why did he still need bloodline integration?

That was not what Saleen Metatrin's notes said.

Could it be that there was a problem with Saleen Metatrin's notes?

Eli had a headache.

He was filled with doubts. If that were the case, would he have to give up his mental power as a mage to specialize in bloodline integration?

But would mages really do that?

Wasn't this a complete violation of the mage's principle of putting mental force first?

Also, if that were the case, the path of a mage would be too narrow. Eli even suspected that he would only be able to use the power of the bloodline if he chose this path. To a mage, this would be a complete weakening.

Was there no other choice than to become a blood mage?

"It's really strange!" Eli looked at the book, but he didn't find the author.

"Strange, forget it. Let's just see what's in the crystal ball." With doubts in his heart, Eli picked up the crystal ball at the side.

That was where the magic oscillation came from.

The crystal ball was usually an important auxiliary tool for a mage. It was often used to record information, experimental data, and so on. It was also the part that eli looked forward to the most. He felt that it would contain some clues about Saleen Metatrin.

The mental power was instantly connected.

The contents of the crystal ball were also displayed in Eli's consciousness.

Ignoring some of the experimental data, Eli found Weiss' log inside and learned more about him.

It turned out that Weiss did not come from the place of the mages. He was a student that Saleen had taken in from the east and became a mage apprentice. He had followed Saleen Metatrin all the way here.

After arriving here, they began to search for ruin, but they did not find it. Saleen Metatrin had actually enslaved more than ten grand Knights. Then, a group of people established the Bryne Empire to help in the search.

Weiss was in charge of the area of the Olisen Kingdom and discovered that there might be clues there. As such, Saleen metatrin assassinated the king and some of the leaders of the Olisen Kingdom and destroyed the country. They didn't find the thing they were looking for, but Weiss died in an accident.

That's all?

Eli blinked. This seemed to be much less than he had imagined!

There was also no substantial information. The only thing that was certain was that Saleen metatrin seemed to be looking for a ruin.

Eli was a little disappointed.

He had thought that he would be able to find out more about Saleen Metatrin!

However, it seemed to make sense. After all, Weiss was just a student that Saleen Metatrin had taken in on the road. He was only a level two apprentice. How many could he know? Saleen metatrin probably did not even think much of him. He was just looking for a tool.

"It seems like I have to take more time to find Saleen Metatrin's items."

Shaking his head, Eli threw those thoughts to the back of his mind.

The books had already given him enough surprises. Eli felt that this was already very good, and there was no need to ask for too much.

As for that broken staff, Eli was prepared to melt it down and fuse it into his staff, just like recycling waste.

However, the blood Warlock's bloodline choice book still left a deep doubt in Eli's mind.

Why was it that Saleen Metatrin's notes mentioned breaking through mental power while the advancement in the book required the integration of blood?

Could there be something in this that Eli wasn't clear about?

In this regard, Eli remained cautious.

74 Disturbance

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The success of the Alliance did have a significant impact at first, but as time passed, other people's attention gradually shifted to the specific contact between the two countries.

As for scholar Clement and Eli's fame, it spread within a certain range. However, habits that had been formed over the years could not be changed. After scholar Clement returned, he returned to his normal life.

It was the same for Eli, just like usual.

This made many people dumbfounded, sighing that there was a pair of " strange teacher and student " in the library.

After all, if a normal person suddenly gained such great fame, they would usually publicize it and take the opportunity to increase their influence. When it came to them, it was as if they were hiding from this fame.

However, no matter what, the fame of the two had increased to a certain extent.

As for the king, he did not seem to have any intention of summoning them.

Eli felt that something must have happened, but this was good too. He could focus on studying and understanding the advanced books.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Due to the Alliance, the relationship between the two countries gradually deepened. The Kazan Chamber of Commerce had finally opened its first branch in Junlin, which meant that Eli would have a stable source of materials from now on. historical

Of course, the happiest one was not Eli but Roland.

Originally, Roland had almost been driven crazy by the previous incident and was even ready to sell his property, but he suddenly received a request for cooperation from the Kazan chamber of commerce.

This made him both dazed and ecstatic.

The desperate Chamber of Commerce had suddenly connected with the number one Chamber of Commerce in the Lorraine Kingdom. This not only saved them from danger but also gave them more power.

As for why such a large Chamber of Commerce would suddenly take a fancy to them ...

Roland only thought of Eli, who was going to Lorraine, but he didn't say anything.

However, the two of them had a drink together that night and went to Liu Ying alley.

...

Another month passed.

Something else happened that Eli didn't expect.

One of the vice directors of the imperial library had passed away.

There were usually only three Vice Directors in the Empire's library. They were in charge of assisting the director in managing all aspects of the library. Moreover, since the director was not around all year round, they were often the ones who managed everything together.

There were a total of three candidates to replace the vice director this time. For some reason, scholar Clement was among them.

There was also the Empire's famous scholar Hila, and the other was a knowledgeable scholar.

However, after hearing about Hila, the third scholar gave up.

Just when everyone thought that Hila would compete for the position of Vice Director, something even more unexpected happened. Hila also gave up, which made everyone's jaws drop.

The reason she gave was that she was not as good as Clement, which shocked many people.

In the end, scholar Clement inexplicably became the Vice Director.

In this regard, Eli was happy.

In the future, he would be able to take advantage of the situation openly.

Of course, there was happiness and sadness.

When eli returned to Jun Lin and saw that Herman had already become a learner and was showing off in his learner's uniform, he closed his eyes silently.

Damn it. He was the only a minor librarian.

The process of scholar Clement becoming the Deputy Director was also very calm, and nothing happened.

Three days later, the library curator summoned scholar clement.

Eli didn't know what the two of them were talking about. He only knew that after Clement returned, he told the curator that he wanted to see him.

...

A day later.

The carriage left the library, carrying Eli and scholar Clement.

In the carriage.

"Teacher, why does the curator want to see me?" what's wrong? " Eli asked.

"Don't worry. It's a good thing." Scholar Clement said with a smile, keeping him in suspense.

Speaking of which, he was quite proud of himself during this period of time. After all, he was almost 60, but he suddenly became Deputy director. He felt that this was an inexplicable affirmation of him.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Hila had given up. Since there was no answer, he could only guess that Hila was not interested in the position.

"Okay, then tell me about the director, teacher." Ere nodded and asked.

Speaking of which, this head of the library was quite a legend.

His name was Seviro Mesa, and it was said that he was born in the slums of a small city. His family was poor, and his parents were both gambling addicts. He often went hungry for two to three days.

When he was eight years old, his parents were beaten to death because he owed too much money. He became an orphan overnight.

With no money and no food, it was, needless to say, how miserable Seviro Mesa's situation was. However, he was born with a special ability, and that was a photographic memory. As long as he had seen something, he would not forget.

Then, he used this ability to recognize words and quickly became a scribe.

Later on, when he was 12 years old, he came to Jun Lin and entered the library. At the age of 20, he quickly became a Grand Secretary. And when he was 15 years old, he accidentally obtained a Knight's study technique. He discovered that he was very talented. In the same year that he became a Grand Secretary, he also became an advanced Knight.

As for now, he was already 50 years old. Not only was he the head of the library, but he was also a grand knight. It was said that he had a deep friendship with bryne the sixth.

It was like a novel, and many people in the Empire regarded him as an idol.

However, the strange thing was that he was everywhere before the age of 40, but after the age of 40, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and it was very difficult to know what he had done.

"I don't know much about him, but he seems to be wandering around the countries outside of Bryne all year round. "Scholar Clement said after a moment of hesitation.

"I told him about what happened in Lorraine, so he wants to see you. Relax, the director is very easy-going."

"Oh!"

Eli nodded.

'It seems that this was just an ordinary meeting, and there is no need to think too much.'

Eli chatted with his teacher, and they soon arrived at a Manor.

The manor was huge, but there were not many people. It was said that it was a gift from Bryne the sixth.

As soon as Clement and Eli got out of the car, a Butler immediately came over to receive them.

Soon, they were arranged to stay in a living room.

"Master will be back soon. He might need some time." The Butler explained.

What else could the two of them say? They could only wait.

Fortunately, the chief didn't make them wait too long.

Ten minutes later, the Butler came again.

"Mr. Eli, let's go!"

Eli got up and followed him. As for Clement, he continued to wait. He had brought Eli here today, so it had little to do with him.

Following the Butler, the two of them quickly arrived at a room on the top floor.

The Butler knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A sonorous voice rang out. The Butler gently pushed the door open and gestured for Eli to enter alone.

Eli nodded and walked in.

He wanted to see what kind of person this chief director was.

Report chapter Comments

He pushed the door open.

It was a very large room.

It seemed to be more than 100 square meters in size, and there were shelves on both sides. On the shelves were all kinds of strange things. There were strange branches, stones that emitted strange colors, and some ancient books.

However, this was not what surprised him. There were two glass columns on both sides of the center of the room, in which a monkey and a Wolf-like extraordinary creature were floating.

"How is it? Do you like my collection?" Suddenly, a voice was heard.

It was only then that Eli saw a large table not far away. At this moment, a man was standing beside the table, his hands spread out as he smiled.

The man looked to be in his fifties. His hair was half white, and his face was square but filled with determination. His eyes were very bright and full of vigor. His body was very strong, just like a bear.

This was the head of the library?

Eli felt that he would believe one if one said he was a general who charged into battle.

"These are the collections I collected from various kingdoms. I spent a lot of effort on them!" The man slowly approached and smiled at Eli.

"Hello, I'm Seviro Mesa, the current head of the library!"

"Hello, director. I'm Eli Lucifer. Your collection is indeed very good. It's just that ..." Eli bowed and looked at the collection around him with a strange expression.

"Haha, don't mind me. Many people think I'm weird!" The chief laughed, but then his smile faded. "but they don't understand anything. they're just a bunch of frogs in a well."

"You must know that this world is very vast."

Eli nodded, confirming that the director in front of him was indeed a little strange.

"Then do you know why I'm collecting these things?" The curator looked at Eli and asked.

"Um, I don't know." Eli felt that it might not be just a simple conversation today, and the director probably had other motives.

"Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, you don't know anything. This world is very complicated. You may not know, but there is another kind of power in this world. They control a kind of power called mental power. I have been searching for them, and these are all that I found in the process of searching. " The chief said with a smile.

There was no change in Eli's expression, but his heart was already in a state of shock.

Did the director know about mages?

"Ah? Isn't a knight the only force in this world?" Eli widened his eyes and asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. Let me tell you. The first king was the one who had this mental power. I only found out by chance. I've been searching for this power, but I only know that they were called mages." The chief seemed to know a lot and said regretfully.

"Then why are you telling me all this?" Eli didn't seem to understand.

"Clement told me about your performance in the Lorraine Kingdom, and I think you and I are the same kinds of person. Everyone knows that I have a good memory, but very few people know that I used to suffer because of it. I can see things that ordinary people can't see, such as some colorful light spots floating in the air, but I don't even know what they are. I didn't understand what they were until I became a Grand Knight!" The chief sighed.

Light spots? Elements?

His spiritual power was so high that he could directly sense the elements, or he should have a special talent. This was a sign of a mage's talent!

"You can tell the connection between so many books in such a short time. You must have the same feeling, right?" The curator looked at Eli with a passionate expression.

Eli finally understood why the director wanted to see him. he wanted to find his own kind!

However, he didn't want to expose it, so he frowned and said, "Director, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. What light spot? I'm just a little better at analyzing than normal people!"

"Is that so?" The chief's expression collapsed, and he sighed. "Sigh, forget it. It seems that I've found the wrong person again." The chief shook his head.

The pursuit of becoming a mage had always been his goal.

However, only he knew how difficult it was to do it alone. He wanted to find someone like him to help him, but he was disappointed every time.

"Forget it. Let's talk about other things!" The chief sat back in his seat and said. "Your performance in the Lorraine Kingdom this time has been very good, and you have greatly demonstrated the ability of our library. I heard that you missed the learner test because of this, so the library has decided to directly grant you the title of honorary learner. Are you willing?" The chief asked.

"I'm willing!" Eli nodded.

He knew that honorary learner were of the same rank as learners, but they could only be awarded directly with special contributions. Eli had no reason to refuse.

"Well, that's good. When the time comes, we'll announce it. Then, your learner's robe and identification will be sent to you." The chief continued, but he was obviously not as excited as before. "Mm, that's all I have to say. You can leave now." the chief continued.

"Then, Director, I'll take my leave first!" Eli nodded, then walked out of the room. historical

He really didn't expect the director wanted to be a mage.

He should know a lot, and his talent should be quite good. Unfortunately, he was born in this kingdom of Knights, so it was almost impossible for him to become a mage.

It was a pity.

However, Eli had no intention of telling the head of the library that he was a mage. Who knew what would happen?!

According to what he said, he had gone to other countries to find traces of mages, but he did not seem to find them. It seemed that there were no mages within a certain distance, or they were very hidden.

Eli guessed that there might be mages in the East since Weiss was brought here from the East. When he advanced to a level 3 acolyte or an official mage, he might be interested in looking for it. But for now, it was better for him to stay in the kingdom.

Furthermore, Eli predicted that he would be mainly staying in Bryne for quite some time, and he had yet to find Saleen metatrin's purpose in coming here.

Eli was also very curious about what Saleen Metatrin was here for!

"We have plenty of time!" Eli shook his head. He could take it slowly. There was no rush.

After leaving the room, Eli went to find scholar Clement. He didn't ask anything, and the two of them prepared to leave.

But just as he walked out of the building, the huge bell chimed like it was mourning, and it circled the entire Jun Lin.

The bell was deafening, and it rang nine times.

Eli and scholar clement looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Nine chimes were only used when a King died.

Bryne the sixth was dead.

Report chapter Comments

The whole nation mourned the death of Bryne the sixth.

...

"It's indeed almost time!" Eli was stunned.

Recalling the state of the king he had seen before, it seemed that he could only live for four or five years. The fact that he was able to live until now was already much longer than he had expected. But it was normal. After all, he was a royal, and he must have some precious medicine.

It seemed that this was also the reason why he did not summon the foreign affairs team. After all, he was almost dead, and he probably did not have the time to pay attention to this.

"Eli, let's go!" When Clement heard the bell, he was also very surprised. However, his many years of life experience told him that it was best to go home at this time.

Just like that, the two of them got into the carriage and returned.

...

Bryne the sixth became the Emperor in the year 265 of the Bryne calendar. It had been 50 years since then. When he had just inherited the throne, the Bryne Empire was no longer as powerful as it was in the past. It was at its weakest in history.

At that time, all the countries wanted to take a bite of the Empire.

But this Emperor was a truly unyielding person. Using his unyielding methods and tenacious will, he quickly carried out all sorts of reforms, and these reforms quickly began to bear fruit.

Bryne's strength had increased again.

Up until now, although Bryne was not necessarily the strongest in the neighboring countries, he was not considered weak either.

However, with the death of the Emperor, no one knew whether Bryne the seventh could hold the fort. Only time would tell.

...

On the way back, Eli sat in the carriage and looked out the window.

At this moment, Junlin was in a mess. Soldiers were everywhere. They were holding weapons and maintaining the order of Junlin. If someone wanted to do something now, these soldiers would not be polite at all.

"The heavens are about to change!" On the side, Clement kept talking.

"Teacher, don't be too nervous. At least it won't affect the library for a while. You just need to take care of your own safety." Eli said from the side.

"Uh, indeed!" Clement had been a little nervous at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case, and he slowly relaxed.

"Coachman, stop here for a moment. I'm going to get something!" The carriage stopped somewhere, and Eli stopped the carriage.

"Sir, why don't I send you home directly? it's a mess everywhere now." The coachman said hesitantly.

This was a bustling Street. It was fine on normal days, but at this time, it really felt very chaotic.

"That's right, Eli. Why don't you come to my house and wait a few days? " Clement was also frowning.

"I'm fine!" Eli smiled and walked out of the car.

The coachman was helpless too, but Eli had already left the carriage.

After Eli got out, he ignored the flow of people and walked straight to the back of the street. Soon, he stopped in front of a shop and looked up. It was the Kazan chamber of commerce.

This was Jun Lin's Kazan branch.

Occupying the center of the street, the building was three stories high. Whether it was the inside or the outside, it had undergone gorgeous decorations, showing off its luxury.

However, even though it was chaotic outside, no one dared to barge in. This was because there were two advanced Knights standing at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Eli, are you here to get your things?" As soon as eli arrived, someone rushed out immediately. It was a fat man with a smile. His name was Zhong Li, and he was the person in charge.

"Yes, I am!" Eli nodded.

He had asked for a set of materials earlier, and according to the time, it should be ready today.

"Sir, I've already prepared it for you. But it's so chaotic outside. I'll let the guards send you back." Zhong Li immediately asked someone to bring him a small box.

"Alright!" Eli nodded.

It was indeed a little chaotic outside, and it was not very convenient for an "ordinary person" like him.

"Chris, go and send Lord Eli off!" Zhong Li pointed at one of the guards and ordered.

Before Chris came, he was warned by Aria to serve Eli properly. Even though Chris had no idea why he still felt that it was better to be obedient.

Just like that, Chris held onto Eli's suitcase in one hand and followed behind him, escorting him.

Along the way, no one dared to do anything.

It was as if he was taking a stroll, and soon, Eli returned home. historical

Taking the box, Eli walked straight into the laboratory.

The materials were used to make the incubator liquid. He was going to plant the seeds today.

The formulation of the incubator liquid was actually very simple. To a certain extent, it was just to stimulate the activity of the seeds. Therefore, it only took Eli an hour to formulate six portions.

"It should be about time." Eli looked at the bucket of incubator liquid in front of him and felt that it should be enough.

Carrying the incubator liquid, he walked out of the laboratory and went straight to the backyard.

In the backyard, he found the flower pot that he had prepared in advance.

Actually, Eli had originally planned to plant it directly in the backyard, but after some thought, he chose a flower pot as it was more convenient to move around. If there was a problem, he could just transplant it again.

He took out the seed.

It was still the dark green seed.

However, there was no soil in the flower pot at the moment, so he started to dig the ground and put the soil into the flower pot. He dug a small hole and buried the seed in it.

He picked up the incubator liquid at the side and poured it in.

Miraculously, the moment the incubator liquid entered the flower pot, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. When the last drop of the incubator liquid was poured in, the soil inside the pot seemed only o be slightly moistened, but there was no change.

"Oh, wow!" Eli was a little surprised. What kind of seed was this? It could actually drink so much. A normal seed would have germinated already.

He turned around, picked up the pot, and walked into the house, preparing to make more incubation liquid.

However, at this moment, a hand appeared on the railing not far away, followed by another hand. Then, with the support of both hands, a person directly jumped in.

This person was dressed in coarse clothes and looked very strong.

"Eh, there's someone else!" the man also seemed to be surprised. He had only wanted to make some money during the chaos. He picked a random house. He just didn't expect there to be people in the house.

And if he wasn't wrong, the guy seemed to be planting something!

A flower pot, a small shovel, and a water basin!

The man was a little shocked. It was so chaotic outside, yet he still had the mood to plant flowers.

"Forget it. Since I'm here, hand over the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." The man shook his shoulders.

"Robbery is illegal. According to the Empire's laws, I can even kill you." Eli hugged the flower pot, a strange expression on his face.

This was the first time someone had barged into his house.

"Hmph, what are you talking about? Hand over the money!" The man completely ignored what eli said.

As he spoke, he walked forward, but he seemed to be stopped by something.

He lowered his head and saw that it was actually a vine!

Vines?

The man was a little confused and turned around. In an instant, countless vines wrapped around him. He didn't even have time to react before he was pulled into the vines.

"Told you what you were doing is illegal!" Eli shook his head, then turned around to prepare more incubator liquid.

Bryne year 315, Bryne the sixth died.

On the same day, Eli planted a seed and accidentally killed the robber who had broken into his house.

Report chapter Comments

The chaos lasted for three days.

Eli didn't go out either. Other than watering the seeds with incubation fluids on time every day, he was studying potions and alchemy.

Although the two books weren't thick, there was a lot of knowledge in them. Eli studied while carrying out experiments to aid his learning. The effect was great, but it was very time-consuming.

Normally, no mage would be stupid enough to do experiments one by one. After all, textbooks were meant to be read-only. One would know how troublesome it was to try to attempt every example given.

And that was exactly what Eli did, and he never got tired of it. He had plenty of time anyway, so he could just take it slow.

"How interesting. These two materials can actually produce such a change when they are combined!" After completing another experiment, a satisfied smile appeared on Eli's face.

With the support of a top Chamber of Commerce, he didn't have to worry about materials for his experiments. He only needed to tell the Kazan Chamber of Commerce, and they would help him find them.

The only thing he had to worry about was whether these materials were available.

"There's also the flame blast potion, the stun potion, and the Azix shield potion..." There were many new potions recorded in the advanced potionology book, and Eli was prepared to refine some in case he needed them.

However, the only regret was that there was no mental power potion in it, so he had to find a way himself.

"Take it slow. There's no rush!"

...

On the tenth day after the death of Bryne the sixth, His Royal Highness the first Prince inherited the throne.

The era that belonged to the 45-year-old bryne the seventh had finally arrived.

However, the situation he was facing was not very good. With the death of Bryne the sixth, the surrounding countries began to stir.

They started to frequently harass the Bryne Empire at the border, trying to test the Empire's bottom line and whether the new king was as tough as Bryne the Sixth.

The people also hoped that the king would give the necessary counterattack.

But it was a pity that Bryne the seventh did not inherit the toughness of his father. He began to give in and decided to renegotiate with the other countries. This made many people's jaws drop.

After seeing the new king's weakness, several countries also took off their masks and started a war.

The war began in the year 315 of the Bryne Calendar.

A total of three countries attacked Bryne from three different directions.

That year, Alex had advanced to become a Grand Knight and led an Army to join the war. In one battle, he defeated the main forces of a region. His bravery had even surprised the Empire.

This descendant of the Marquis 'family also displayed the loyalty of a noble and successfully defended the territory of the Empire. The reputation of the Alina family in the Empire greatly increased.

But the other two defenses were not so smooth.

One side was directly defeated, and a large area of land was occupied.

A fierce battle was also taking place on the other side. Many nobles had also joined the Imperial Army in the attack, including the descendants of the Gimori family, Rias's two older brothers.

The war had been a success, but the Gimori family had fallen into sorrow.

Rias' two older brothers were ambushed and killed in the war. It was said that when Count Gimori heard the news, he immediately collapsed in his seat, and his hair turned white overnight.

In the same month, Rias returned from her fief and was ready to inherit the title.

However, the war wasn't over yet. The three countries who had tasted the benefits naturally would not give up because they had already seen the weakness of Bryne the seventh.

More troops were gathered at home, ready to attack.

However, to their surprise, the Lorraine Kingdom had publicly expressed their support for Bryne. They had also mobilized their Army and arrived at the border, ready to fight at any time.

This made the other countries reconsider. In the end, the opposing army returned to the camp, and the war ended before it even happened.

The bryne Empire was like a Wolf Cub that had been humiliated and was licking its wounds.

Everything came to a standstill.

All wars were fought for benefits, but only one knew the pain behind the benefits.

...

The war lasted for half a year.

Two months after the war ended, Eli was invited to the banquet of the new countess of Gimori.

At the magnificent banquet, Eli met Count Gimori. However, compared to more than half a year ago, his condition was much worse. Not only was his hair all white, but his eyes had also become a little dull.

At this moment, he was only a grieving father.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and at the banquet, Eli also saw Rias.

This was the girl who had studied with him in the library.

Compared to the past, the 24-year-old Rias was even more alluring. She was still wearing purple clothes and was as beautiful as a violet, but her slightly red eyes spoke of her sorrow.

She took the family coat of arms from Count Gimori's hands and wore it on her body.

From now on, she would be the countess of Gimori.

And Eli was standing in the crowd, witnessing everything.

After the banquet ended, Eli was about to leave when a guard walked over. "Mr. Eli, Her Excellency the countess would like to see you."

"Alright, lead the way!" Eli stopped and decided to meet her.

On the balcony of one of the rooms, Eli met with Rias.

She had already changed into a simple set of clothes and was standing on the balcony, looking outside with her head lowered. Eli could clearly feel her sorrow.

Eli walked to the balcony silently and looked outside as well.

"Eli, this used to be my favorite place. I used to love standing here and enjoying the night breeze." Rias spoke with a sad tone.

"The scenery is indeed not bad." Eli nodded.

They were on the third floor, and they could see the bustling city from there.

"Long time no see, Eli!" Rias turned around and looked at Eli.

"It's been a long time indeed, but you're still as beautiful as ever!" Eli said politely.

"I thought I would never return to Junlin in this life. I didn't expect such an accident to happen." Tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

"Indeed, there are many things that no one can explain clearly. People are too fragile," Eli sighed.

This was why he had never wanted to leave this place.

He knew there might be a mage camp in the East, but he didn't go there. He stayed in this place where there were no mages.

He would not leave this place unless he had the ability to survive.

"You haven't changed at all. You're still so calm and rational!" said Rias as she looked at Eli.

"You too. It's almost time. I should go back. If you need anything, you can call me." Eli shook his head, then turned around and left.

'You really haven't changed at all. You're still as cold as ever!' Looking at Eli's departing figure, Rias suddenly laughed. historical

Didn't he know how to comfort her?

'He really hasn't changed at all. It had clearly been a few years, but he was still the same as before.

'It is as if time had not left any traces on him.'

78 Ten Years

The war didn't have much of an impact on the Empire, but it had a huge impact on the people who had participated in the war.

Some people died, some received rewards, some families lost their fathers, and some had to leave for other places.

Nothing was crueler than war.

This was the first time Eli had felt the war being so close to him.

The war had a huge impact on Rias, but it also affected the Kazan Chamber of Commerce and the Rose Chamber of Commerce. Due to the war, some of the Chambers of Commerce's connections with other countries were instantly cut off. This allowed Roland's Chamber of Commerce to grow rapidly. Of course, the Kazan Chamber of Commerce also expanded its power from this, and Eli benefited from it.

Of course, there were other effects.

For example, there were many new faces in the wilderness of Liuying alley. Several casinos had closed down, Alex had also begun to make a name for himself, and Andre, the red-haired man from the knight academy, seemed to have made some small achievements and was starting to stand out. historical

"Everything is changing," In response, Eli sighed.

As time passed, everyone had their own plans and their own paths.

No one knew what was going to happen!

…

Ten years later!

Year 325 of the bryne calendar.

The first snow of the empire had just passed, and the sun was beginning to clear up.

"It's a little cold today!" The gate of a street opened. Eli walked out and looked at the layer of frost and snow that covered everything in front of him. he took a deep breath of fresh air and instantly felt much more comfortable.

Speaking of which, he still preferred summer. If it was hot, so be it. At least he didn't need to clean the yard.

"Another year has passed!" An invisible wind swept past, and the snow at the door immediately scattered to both sides. Eli took a look at the vines that were still green, turned around, and walked into the house.

He didn't go to work this morning. He was just used to waking up in the morning to take a look.

When he returned to his room, he looked at his face in the mirror next to the door.

He still had black hair and black eyes, but compared to ten years ago, his appearance had changed greatly. First was his hair, which was much longer than ten years ago, and he looked much more mature. There was also a layer of black beard under his nose, and his eyes were deeper, with a special charm.

"He's so handsome!" Eli pouted and sighed.

It was naturally impossible for him to maintain his appearance from ten years ago. The appearance in front of him was changed through the faceless mask.

Of course, it wasn't just his head. His body seemed to have become stronger as well. This was a special potion that Eli had concocted five years ago, which made his body as strong as an Elite Knight.

The loose robe covered his well-proportioned body, but no one could ignore the explosive power beneath it, which further increased Eli's self-security.

However, these were all secondary. His main force was still his mental power.

At this moment, his mental power had already reached 14.0. The progress was a little slow. If he were to really compare himself to those geniuses, he might really be very bad. However, to Eli, he could feel that he was at least twice as strong as he was ten years ago.

This was mainly due to the improvement of his potioneering skills in the past ten years, as well as the increase in the power of his magic brought about by his mental strength. It could be said that if the current Eli were to encounter a Grand Knight who had just advanced, he would be able to kill them instantly. However, if he were to encounter a top-notch Grand Knight, he might not be able to defeat them, but there was a high possibility that he could escape.

Eli was a little glad that he had been thrown into the kingdom of Knights when he transmigrated and not the real mage's world. Otherwise, he might not be living as well as he was now.

"Time really flies!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Eli sighed.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The main reason was that these ten years were relatively stable. Nothing major happened, and even if there were, it was just some minor things.

The first one was Roland. In terms of business, under Roland's leadership, the Rose Chamber of Commerce became a famous large Chamber of Commerce in the Empire. They had achieved certain results in various fields of the Empire. In terms of family, this kid already had two sons, the oldest already five years old.

For this reason, Roland poked fun at eli a lot.

As for Liuying alley, only Eli was going there at the moment because it was a little inappropriate to bring Roland along.

The second was Rias. The Countess of Gimori had also developed her family to a great height with the help of the old count. This made the old count Gimori feel a little relieved, but his only regret was that his daughter had not taken a fancy to anyone, which made him very anxious.

There was also Hila. It was by chance that Eli later found out that she was actually a well-known scholar, and he was very surprised. This lady, on the other hand, did not seem to have been to the library either and had always thought that he was Clement.

She had already become a Grand Secretary last year.

Andre had also become a general.

There was also Marquis Alina. Unfortunately, he passed away two years ago due to an illness. At that time, Eli had also gone and found out that it was truly a terminal illness, but there was nothing he could do. After that, Alex took over the family's flag and became the new Marquis Alina.

There was also Eli's senior, Kurt. he was attacked by a wild beast and died during one of his studies outside. it was a pity.

As for Herman, he was still working in the library and was much more mature than before. Moreover, his daughter was already nine years old. She kept calling Eli uncle when she saw him, which made him feel a headache.

Of course, this was only with the people around Eli. On the other hand, the Empire had also changed a lot.

Compared to the former Bryne the sixth, Bryne the seventh was much weaker. Or rather, he was a mediocre King in all aspects.

In the past ten years, not only did the Empire's strength not increase, but it was even slightly weakened. Be it the economy or the military. They were not as good as before. Even their political power was much weaker than before.

Over the years, the interests of the bryne Empire had suffered quite a bit, but Eli felt that it was still alright. At the very least, the domestic and foreign environment was still relatively stable. However, no one knew if this stability could be maintained.

"The former king has too few children. There was not really a better choice for him." Eli attributed the reason for this.

Bryne the sixth only had three sons, two princes, and one Princess.

The princess did not like politics. She had already inherited her title and moved to live in a city in the southern part of the Empire. The second Prince was even more outrageous. He liked to travel and was not interested in anything at all. This made the ordinary first Prince not seem so bad.

If bryne the sixth had more children, he would not have had so few choices.

"It's a pity," Eli sighed.

In the afternoon, Eli casually glanced at the flower pot that hadn't sprouted and walked out of the house. But just as he walked out the door, he saw a letter in the mailbox.

It was from the head of the library, Seviro Mesa.

His goal was to tell Eli to meet him at the usual place.

79 Ten Years

"Long time no see, director!"

In a bar, Eli met with Seviro Mesa, who was also the current head of the library.

"It's indeed been a long time!" Seviro poured himself a large cup of rum and gulped it down. The liquid flowed down his beard.

After meeting ten years ago, the two of them became good friends. They would occasionally drink together and talk about his progress in finding mages.

"Where did you go this time?" Eli looked at the head of the library. Compared to ten years ago, he had aged quite a bit. His face looked a little haggard, but his eyes were still bright.

Just like before, he would travel to various countries every three to five days in search of traces of mages, but he still found nothing.

"When I went to the kingdom of Holme this time. I heard that there's a very mysterious area there where people often go missing for no reason. In the end, when I arrived, I only found a place that's covered in the fog all year round, and there's only one magical beast in it." Seviro shook his head, a little disappointed.

'He's obviously much older than I was ten years ago, but his desire to find a mage is stronger, like a flame burning his old body.'

"But that's normal. No one knows where the mages are." Eli said regretfully. He really hoped that the director could help him find the mage camp, but unfortunately, he never got it.

"Director, I'm curious why you're so insistent on becoming a mage. Isn't it better for you to persist with your current life?" Eli asked.

"You don't understand!" The chief shook his head, looked at Eli, and said, "I think you're a good person to communicate with, but you don't seem to understand me that well. I've been looking for evidence for 20 years. It's like an obsession that I can't let go of."

Eli nodded, still not quite understanding.

"Alright, where do you plan to go next, director? Will you go further from the kingdom?" Eli asked again.

"No. I've spent four years on this trip. I might not be able to come back if I go any further." The director shook his head. "this time, I plan to stay in the Empire. I want to go to the places that Saleen Metatrin had been to in history. I want to look for what he might have left behind. This might be more reliable!"

"Good luck!" encouraged Eli.

Perhaps it was because there was no one he could talk to about these things, Seviro Mesa told Eli everything he knew, including the name of the first emperor, the possibility that he was a mage, and the king's death from the forced use of a mage tool!

This piqued Eli's interest as there were many things he didn't know.

After all, Seviro Mesa had been in the Empire's upper echelons for decades, and the information he had gathered was not something that Eli could compare to.

Eli listened with great interest while Seviro Mesa treated him as a confidant.

"Yes, I'll be posted within the Empire for the rest of my life. This might be my last hope. Where are these mages? " Seviro slammed his hand on the table, causing the rum to fly out.

Opposite him, Eli pursed his lips.

"Perhaps mages don't even exist!" Eli nodded in agreement.

"No, they definitely exist. They just might not be nearby. " Seviro shook his head, denying Eli's guess.

"Alright," he said.

"Also, I'm going to resign from my position as head of the library and focus on this matter." Suddenly, Seviro dropped a bomb.

"What?" Eli's eyes widened.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'm already 60 years old, and I really don't have much time left. Besides, I haven't contributed much to the library over the years, so I think it's time for me to give up my spot. You don't have to persuade me." Seviro Mesa said firmly.

What else could Eli say? He just sighed. After all, it wasn't easy to find a chief who was so carefree.

Eli hoped that the next head wouldn't be a troublesome one. However, his teacher might be able to become the head. However, the possibility wasn't high. After all, scholar Clement was already 68 years old. He wasn't young anymore.

"well, Bryne the seventh is different from his father. He has some opinions about the independence of the library. If I leave, he might take action. You must remind your teacher!" Seviro added.

"Alright," Eli nodded.

This was bad news. After all, if the library became the king's vassal, ignoring everything else, at the very least, Eli would be very displeased. After all, he had worked here for 18 years, and he had some feelings for it.

"Yes, that's all. I should leave." After drinking, Severo bid farewell to Eli.

"Goodbye, director. I wish you success this time."

"Goodbye, I will definitely succeed!" Seviro strode out of the room, his eyes determined.

He would definitely find the mages.

After a few drinks, Eli also turned around and left.

Outside the door, it was a noisy bar. a large number of men and women were dancing on the dance floor. if they saw the right person, they would directly enter the room at the back of the bar. historical

If it were anywhere else, this would definitely not be allowed. However, this bar was opened on Liuying Street.

That's right. This was the place where the two became friends. Nine years ago, when Eli came out of this place, he met Seviro, who had just come out as well, and the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

"Mr. Eli, you're leaving!" Before Eli could walk out the door, a woman in gorgeous clothes greeted him. She was the Nightingale here, the woman in charge of the place.

"Yes." Eli nodded.

In the past ten years, the girls here had changed a few times, and he knew many of the Nightingales here. They used to be prostitutes, but they later retired and became Nightingales.

As for why they would take the initiative to greet Eli, the reason was simple. If you spent a few gold tarls here every year, they would treat you the same way.

"Then take care!" the woman smiled as she sent Eli out.

It was already late in the afternoon when they walked out of the place.

Eli took a look at the sun, turned around, and headed home.

'It's a little late to go to the library now, so I'll skip work for a day.'

...

The next day.

It was raining, so he skipped another day of work.

On the third day.

Eli headed to the library.

Just as he reached the entrance of the library, he heard the guards chatting.

"You know what? Director Seviro resigned of his own accord, and so did one of the Vice Directors. Coincidentally, a son of a noble family was appointed as the Vice Director. Do you think the king is going to take over the library?" One of the guards said worriedly.

"Who knows?" the other guard shook his head and suddenly saw Eli from the corner of his eye.

"Hello, Mr. Eli!" The two guards immediately stopped their conversation and said respectfully.

As the Vice director's students, they were familiar with Eli.

Eli nodded and walked into the room, but the guard's words still lingered in his mind.

A noble had already taken over a vice director's spot. This was probably the king's doing.

It had only been a day, and the king had already made his move.

Eli shook his head and prepared to have a chat with his teacher.

80 The Vote

"Clement, this won't do. The library is so undisciplined these days, and I think you have to take up at least half of the responsibility. How can the library export talents to the Empire like this? "

Before he even entered his teacher's room, a sharp and mocking voice sounded.

??

Eli frowned but still walked in.

There were two people in the room. One of them was scholar clement, who was already 68 years old. He was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and a pen in his hand.

Opposite him, in front of the table, stood a man who looked to be about 28 years old with an arrogant face. He kept criticizing scholar Clement.

"This can't go on. It's too undisciplined. At least I've seen those guards dare to talk during working hours. This kind of discipline is really bad. if they were in our family, they would be whipped hard." The man's face was full of anger, and he expressed his dissatisfaction without any restraint.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." scholar clement nodded in despair.

"Hmph, Clement, I'm also the Vice Director. Please show me a better attitude!" The man's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Forget it. I'm going to check out the other things in the library first!" The man shook his head and walked out of the door.

He happened to run into eli, who just came in. The man didn't say anything but raised his head high and strode out with an arrogant expression.

Eli looked at the man's back with a baffled expression. 'Who the f*ck are you!'

"Teacher, what is this?" He walked to scholar Clement and asked.

"He's the new Vice Director!" Scholar Clement said helplessly when he saw that it was Eli.

"Is that him? This guy doesn't look easy to get along with!" Eli said in a strange tone.

"Ha, he's not just difficult to get along with. He's already treating the library as his home and is preparing to implement many new measures." Scholar Clement said with a sigh.

"For example, you have too many holidays and have to be cut in half. Or you're too lazy and have to arrive at 7 am every morning."

Eli was speechless.

"Then, the others don't object? " he hadn't been here for a day, and something so big had actually happened in the library.

"There's an objection, but it's no use!" scholar clement put the stone on the table, got up, and stretched his muscles. "he was sent here by the king, so he must be here for the position of the main director. It seems that as soon as the current director left, they would take over the library."

"I see!" Eli's brows furrowed even more.

If the library became the king's private land, it would not be a good thing for him. he would not be as free as he was now.

"So, get ready to come to work on time!" Scholar Clement said with a smile as he looked at Eli.

He was already 68 years old and was about to retire. They wouldn't do anything to him.

"Alright, I'll go to work first." Eli nodded. It was better to wait for things to develop and then act according to the situation.

After saying goodbye to the teacher, Eli went to his office and began to handle the documents.

After becoming a learner, he had his own office. He was in charge of a very idle position with very little work. As long as he finished his work, he could go home.

An hour later, after finishing his work, Eli was ready to leave work early.

Suddenly, the sound of the door being violently pushed open was heard.

A man strode in with his head held high and walked up to Eli arrogantly. It was the man he had seen in the teacher's room earlier.

Eli was a little angry. 'don't you know how to knock?'

"And you are?" however, eli still asked with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm the Deputy director of the library, Othello. I'm currently in charge of the library. I saw that you didn't come to work yesterday, so you can tell me what's going on. Forget it. It's better if you don't. Your salary for this month will be cut in half. I hope you won't skip work for no reason next time!"

Othello didn't give Eli any time to react. After he finished speaking, he left with his head held high, leaving Eli in his chair.

"How troublesome!" Of course, he didn't care about his salary, but that didn't mean that the man could deduct his money as he pleased.

The library had a rule that he could rest three days a month, so it was legal for him not to come yesterday. However, Othello didn't seem to know that and fined him half of the money.

It was a typical aristocratic style.

"Sigh, now that the director is gone, trouble has come." It was only now that Eli remembered how good seviro was.

This guy spent most of his time in other countries and didn't care about the library at all. He would only arrange some work when he returned, but even so, the library was always in good order.

But now that he had left, everything had changed.

"I hope nothing much will change."

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This half a month was also the most difficult half a month for all the old library staff.

In the past half a month, the guards were not allowed to speak and were not allowed to leave their posts for a day. They were not even allowed to enter the library to use the toilet. Their working hours had also been greatly increased from seven hours to ten hours a day.

Of course, this wasn't the most unbearable thing. The most unbearable thing was that Othello cut everyone's salary by 20% in the name of cost-saving. Everyone had a lot of opinions.

But that wasn't what made Eli most upset. It was the increase in working hours that made him stay in the library for a long time, which was equivalent to working overtime.

And Eli finally learned about Othello's background.

It turned out that he was a direct descendant of a Viscount family. His family's territory was very close to here, and his family was mainly in the financial aspect. It seemed that they also had some other dealings.

The reason why Othello was able to become the Deputy Director was that he was a scholar himself, and his sister seemed to be a popular person around the king.

This could also be the king's test.

...

Finally, another five days passed.

According to the time, it was time for the library to elect a new director.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but it seemed that someone was interfering. The new way of selecting a director was to vote, and the voters were scholars that Eli had never heard of.

'Good Lord, they are all scholars from the noble families.' historical

needless to say, once they participated in the election, it was almost impossible for clement and the other vice director to become the director.

In fact, it was a violation of the rules for Othello to be the vice director because generally speaking, the position of vice director and above could not be held by nobles. But this time, it seemed that the king didn't seem to care.

The main reason was that the operation this time was very fast, and coincidentally, this time, many grand scholars and scholars had just left Jun Lin to attend a seminar in another city. The traditional scholars and grand scholars were not there to stop this.

"No!" Thinking of this, Eli shook his head.

If Othello were to become the director, it would be f*cking troublesome. Not only would there be a noble who would arrogantly break into your room at any time, tell you that your salary had been deducted, or even directly fire you while pointing at your nose and scolding you for your poor work, but you might also be forced to work overtime for no reason.

Just thinking about it, Eli could already feel his blood pressure rising, and he had to do something.

He would never allow anyone to destroy the peaceful environment of the library.

Report chapter Comments

Having been in Jun Lin for so many years, Eli wasn't someone to be trifled with. He had his own information channels, and he quickly found out about the Othello family.

"Sir, Othello's family is the Corsi family. The family was given a title of nobility thirty years ago because Othello's grandfather made a contribution. They are still firm supporters of the royal family."

In a room, Eli's appearance had already changed to another look. He was listening to the person in front of him. The man was an information broker.

"Well, did you find out about their family's main business? " Eli asked.

"Well, their family doesn't seem to have any business at the moment!" The man replied.

"Huh?" Eli was puzzled.

"Yes, indeed, they don't have any assets. Once, the Corsi family accumulated their first round of wealth through loans, but as time developed, they gradually gave up on this grey business. After that, they mainly made profits by reselling goods through contact with the major Chambers of Commerce." The man said seriously. In fact, they rarely dug up info on the nobles, but the gentleman in front of him was really offering too much.

"Hmm, a Chamber of Commerce?" Eli raised his eyebrows. It seemed like there was a chance!

"Well, what about the connection behind them? " Eli asked again.

"My lord, their family's connection seems to be mainly with the Zara family, an earl family with a long history. Every year, the Corsi family has to fork out a lot of money to them. "

"Tell me what else you know." Eli nodded, indicating for the man to continue.

There wasn't much information about the Corsi family, mainly about their assets, background, connections, and other aspects. Soon, Eli had recorded all the information.

If he wanted to have a fight, he would have to first ask around and make sure that the other party was someone he could deal with. Otherwise, he wouldn't casually make a move.

And from the man's information, Eli also found out about an interesting point.

The background of the Corsi family, the Zara family, was a vassal of one of the Alina family's old rivals, Marquis Herm's family. This was interesting.

"I think I have an idea!"

after paying, he turned around and left.

...

That afternoon, at Alina's family, Eli and Alex were sitting opposite each other.

"What's the matter? I heard that something had happened at the library. Do you want me to help your teacher? " Compared to before, Alex was now almost 40 years old, but his body was still strong and powerful, and his eyes were full of energy.

He looked at Eli and asked with a smile.

In fact, over the years, whenever he had a problem, he would often ask Eli for advice, and Eli would always give him some good advice. It was just that Eli didn't ask for anything in return, which annoyed him.

This time, he had finally come.

"I do need your help this time!" said Eli directly.

His thoughts were simple. Rather than attacking Othello, it would be better to attack his family.

As long as the Corsi family was greatly affected, Othello would crumble.

"It's like this..." Eli began to narrate.

"So what do you want me to do? Help you hold back the Herm family?" Alex didn't quite understand.

"Right!" Eli nodded.

"How will you solve the problem of the Zara family and the trade association? " Alex was a little confused.

" you don't have to worry about that. don't worry, you'll get a share of the profits from the Corsi family's business. " Eli laughed.

"Alright, it doesn't really matter. the herm family has always been our old rival, so these are just small matters. " Alex said indifferently.

Compared to all this, he was more focused on Eli.

This man, who seemed to be content with the library, was actually a very smart person. He was completely uninterested in fame and fortune, and he had never even seen a lack of money. He was a strange person.

"Well, that's all for now. I'll take my leave." Eli chatted with him for a while before leaving.

...

Rose Chamber of Commerce.

"No problem!" Roland immediately agreed. Unlike Alex, he was much more mellow than he had been ten years ago.

"it's a small matter. Don't worry. The Rose Chamber of Commerce is no longer the small Chamber of Commerce it was in the past. These are small problems." Roland agreed immediately after hearing what Eli said.

Although outsiders thought that he had only managed to get through the crisis ten years ago because he had established a connection with the Kazan Chamber of Commerce, Roland knew the truth.

"Hmm, will this affect you?" Eli asked.

"No, it's just a channel. if it's broken, there will naturally be new channels coming up." Roland said indifferently.

"Okay. Actually, after this is over, I plan to split this profit with an old friend of ours and a noble friend of mine. You'll get a share too. It's not much, so I hope you won't mind." Eli said with a smile.

"Of course, I won't!" Roland laughed.

Then, Roland started a familiar topic.

"Eli, when are you getting married?"

"See you next time!" Ere hurriedly walked out of the Rose Chamber of Commerce. historical

...

In the afternoon.

"No problem, Mr. Eli. I'll definitely get it done for you." Zhong Li said fawningly. "Don't worry. Our Chamber of Commerce has deep connections with other foreign Chambers of Commerce. You can rest assured. I'll keep this matter strictly confidential and won't tell anyone." Zhong Li said solemnly.

He had been sent by Aria and was the person he trusted the most. In order to ensure Eli's safety, he had even placed Zhong Li's family somewhere he could see so that it wouldn't affect him.

Zhong Li and Eli knew this very well.

Aria was still very sensible now.

"Okay, then I'll be leaving. Oh right, I still need some magic beast blood. Help me find it." After dealing with this matter, Eli continued.

"Alright!" Zhong Li nodded. It would be difficult, but they would do their best.

"Alright, I'll take my leave." Eli nodded and left again.

...

At night.

The castle of the Gimori family.

"You're giving me a present?!" Rias was wearing a purple dress, lazily sitting on the sofa, smiling at Eli.

She was more mature and less lively than before, but she was more sensible.

"Yes, but do I need your help." Eli laughed.

"Okay, no problem. I agree," said Leah.

"Aren't you going to ask what it is?" Eli said with a strange expression.

"no need. I believe you. Would you harm me? "

"I won't!"

"Then that's it." Rias looked at Eli and answered with a smile.

"Thank you." Eli then told Leah what had happened.

"Alright!" After listening, Rias agreed without hesitation.

"I'm done here. Do you want to go for a drink?" rias stood up and invited him.

"I don't think so. It's very late!" Eli refused!

"Late? It's only 11 O 'clock. You've stayed here much later than that. Come on, let's catch up." Rias covered her mouth and laughed.

"Alright then!" Eli agreed helplessly.

"I'll just drink a little."

82 Multi-party Action historical

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Eli had just finished a day's work and was preparing to return.

Othello pushed the door open roughly and threw down a document. He said arrogantly, " "Finish this document for me tonight. I want it by tonight."

"Deputy Director Othello, I'm off work," Eli said calmly.

"Hmph, I don't care. Otherwise, when I become the chief, you should be prepared to leave, and that old man of yours!" Othello didn't care and coldly snorted.

"Well, I'm off work now, so you should leave this job to someone else!" Eli shook his head, and without even looking at the documents, he left.

No wonder he was the bad guy. This guy was completely brainless!

Othello's eyes widened when he saw that Eli actually dared to leave in front of him. "Come back here!"

His angry voice echoed throughout the room, but Eli had already left.

What a joke. He had not taken the initiative to work overtime for the past 20 years. How could it be broken today? in his previous life, he had died from working overtime. This would not happen again in this life.

"When I become the chief..." Othello gritted his teeth and angrily threw the document on the ground.

The chief election was in five days.

...

At night.

Othello returned home.

At the banquet, Othello sat on one side with a smug look on his face. His father, Amir, was sitting opposite him.

"How's the situation at the library?" Amir asked as he ate the foie gras.

"Everything is fine, but there are some small bugs that are very troublesome. I will deal with them properly when the time comes." Othello gritted his teeth and coldly snorted.

"that's good. Take this opportunity. If you become the director, our family will instantly be comparable to an Earl's family." Amir smiled as well.

He knew that he had been used, but he would not let go of this opportunity. He had no choice, and the benefits were too great.

"I hope there won't be any major accidents," Amir said to Othello.

"What kind of accident can happen?" said Othello with disdain.

...

The next day, Othello and his father had breakfast as usual, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Suddenly, a voice was heard. A man rushed in, rolling and crawling.

"master, it's not good. There's a problem with our business. A few large Chambers of Commerce suddenly joined forces to block our channels. No Chamber of Commerce is willing to work with us!" The man panted heavily, his face full of fear.

"What??? "

Amir stood up immediately, and Othello was also shocked.

What was going on?

"What's going on? What about the foreign Chambers of Commerce? " Amir didn't have time to eat. This was a matter of the family's lifeline.

They had a capital-free business. They were most afraid of it. If they had no stock shipping in, the chain reaction caused was enough to make them collapse.

"Old master, I don't know." the man looked like he was about to cry. " now, it's not just the chambers of commerce in the country. The foreign chambers of commerce have also cut off their business with us under the lead of the Kazan chamber of commerce. We only have two or three channels left. "

Amir's throat moved slightly, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

He definitely didn't know what had happened.

What was going on?

He turned to look at Othello and said, "did you offend anyone recently?"

"Who can I offend? It's just a bunch of stinky scholars in the library. I didn't touch those with status. It's just that yesterday, a student of the Vice Director ignored me and left." Othello was a little flustered, but he still said it.

Amir shook his head. Othello was a little stupid, but he wasn't that stupid. He knew that some people couldn't be provoked.

"No, if that's the case, we'll go to Count Zara now! " Amir's legs were a little weak, but he immediately ordered a carriage.

He looked at the panicking Othello behind him and cursed, "don't panic. We still have a backer. There won't be a problem."

Othello calmed down a little.

...

"I'm sorry, Amir. I can't help you this time. I'm really sorry."

When Amir heard the news from Earl Saleen, he panicked.

"What happened?" Amir said worriedly. If Earl Saleen could not help them, they would really be done for.

"I don't know either. Since yesterday, the Gimori family has been coming after us. It's simply baffling. The Countess is acting crazy. We have to protect our own first." Count Zara was confused.

"Then, sir, if that's the case, we're done for!" amir's face was already turning green.

On the way, he had already threatened those Chambers of Commerce, but they didn't pay him any attention. This made him know that he needed someone of a higher status to interfere, or else this matter would not be over.

Count Saleen was the person who had the closest interests in them. If he did not help, it seemed like something big had really happened.

"Don't worry. This matter will harm my interests as well. I will return to the Herman family today and ask for their help to hold back Countess Gimori first, then, I will deal with your matter!" Count Saleen consoled.

"That's good. I'm relieved to hear that from you, my Lord." Amir heaved a sigh of relief as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Look at you. What are you panicking about? it's a small problem. I'll probably be able to help you tomorrow." Earl Saleen whispered.

"Yes, yes." Amir nodded.

One day was fine, but if it really dragged on for two or three days, three or four days, then it would really be over. The family would probably go bankrupt directly, sell their property, and their noble status would plummet.

"Damn it. I should've set up some real assets as a fallback." Amir was a little regretful.

However, he had seen the huge benefits of capital-free trading, which was why he had chosen this path. What could be more profitable than capital-free trading? Moreover, they were reselling large quantities of goods to earn the difference in price.

"Alright, you can go back and wait for the news." Earl Saleen also had a headache at the moment, so he sent Amir away first.

"Alright, my Lord. I'll take my leave then." Amir wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.

...

At night.

The territory of the Corsi family.

Amir, Othello, and one of his older brothers were sitting in the living room, waiting for news without a word.

"Father, don't be nervous. With the Herman family, there will definitely be no problem." Othello wasn't as arrogant as before, but he was still confident. He hadn't been to the library for a day, so he didn't have time to worry about the library.

Amir nodded.

Suddenly, a man walked in. Amir recognized him as the Butler of the Zara family.

"How is it?" Amir quickly stood up. Othello and his brother also stood up nervously.

The Butler didn't say a word. He bit his lips and said, " I'm sorry, my Lord. This time, I'm afraid we can't help you. The Herman family is also in trouble."

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, striking the three of them unconscious.

Amir's vision went black, and he fell unconscious to the ground.

Othello and his brother's legs also went soft, and they fell to the ground.

"I'm finished, I'm finished," Othello grumbled.

Report chapter Comments

The consecutive attacks from various forces had stunned the Corsi family.

The goods were put on hold, causing them to be unable to pay up. A large number of orders flooded them like a tide, and their families suffered a major blow.

Amir only woke up the next day.

The first thing he said when he woke up was, "How's the business?"

!!

"It's all over," His eldest son said with a sobbing tone.

Hearing this, Amir almost fainted again, but he forced a smile and said, "What about the specific losses?"

"We've almost sold all my assets. We're still short of more than a thousand gold tarls." Othello said bitterly. he didn't know what had happened. It had only been two days, and such a thing had happened.

Who was it that had brought such a disaster to the family?

"More than a thousand?!" amir closed his eyes in despair.

This was also a disadvantage of their business. Once something went wrong, the loss would be sky-high, and the only way out was that the chamber of commerce would give them goods.

"What about the Chamber of Commerce? Did he approach them for help? " Amir looked at his eldest son, who was usually decisive and brave. At this moment, his eldest son seemed to be at a loss.

"Father, I went to the Rose Chamber of Commerce, but Roland refused to see me at all. He kept pushing me away to the Kazan Chamber of Commerce. That fatty talked to me, but he just talked around me." The eldest son sighed.

"Damn it, if I know who did it, I'll definitely kill him!" Said Othello angrily.

He was about to become the head of the library, so it was simply inexplicable for him to encounter such a thing.

"Forget it. How many more days can we still hold on for?" Amir sighed as he looked at his son, who had disappointed him.

"Two days!" The eldest son said with difficulty.

"Even our Castle has been pawned. Mother and the others have been driven out. We don't even have a place to live now." The eldest son continued.

Amir rubbed his head, which was a little dizzy.

"then, father, do you want to borrow some money from the other Viscounts and Earls?" Othello was worried to death. If his family really fell, what would happen to his future?

"Hmph, all our businesses are gone, and our channels are gone. Who would lend us money in such a situation? " amir said bitterly.

They were united because of their own interests, so when there was no profit to be gained, it was time for them to go their separate ways.

"Then what do we do?" Othello frowned, his tone like he was berating someone.

"How can you speak to your father like that?" The eldest son couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Othello.

"Hmph!" Othello glared at him and stopped talking.

"forget it. there's only one path left." Amir sighed after thinking about it.

"What path?" Othello's eyes brightened.

"Leave Jun Lin and run!" There were only three of them, but Amir still spoke in a low voice.

The three of them widened their eyes.

…

Three days later.

Eli received news that the Corsi family had run away.

It seemed that they had left Jun Lin overnight with their things. It was said that they were going to other countries, leaving behind a large number of angry people who had not received their goods and money.

As for their channels and businesses, they were divided up by the Alina family, the Gimori family, the Rose Chamber of Commerce, and the Kazan Chamber of Commerce. The first two took most of it, while the latter two took a little.

All parties were very satisfied. They all received benefits.

The only thing that surprised Eli was that Othello didn't leave. He stayed Jun Lin alone, still dreaming of becoming the director.

…

"Eli, why haven't you finished my things yet?"

The door to Eli's room was pushed open by Othello again, his face filled with anger.

His family had left, and he was alone and helpless. But he didn't leave, because he felt that as long as he became the head of the library, these things would be solved slowly. He would become the hero of his family.

Moreover, he was also reluctant to give up the coming fame and fortune.

Therefore, in the past few days, he had vented his family's losses on the people in the library. In just two days, everyone deeply hated this guy and wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

"Alright, I'll help you deal with it." He had originally thought that Eli would reject him, but Eli accepted it.

"You're sensible!" Othello was stunned.

For the past two days, everyone seemed to be full of malice toward him. He didn't expect Eli to be so polite.

It seemed that he had misunderstood this young man.

He was still very respectful to him!

"Not bad, not bad, this is how it should be!" Othello smiled and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Eli smiled.

'what a pitiful person!'

…

A day later. historical

Othello was dead.

It was said that he died in an alley.

No one knew who had killed him. They only knew that when he was discovered, his body had already started to stink from the high temperature, and his face could not even be seen.

There was no doubt that someone had targeted him on purpose.

The most likely suspect was the group of angry merchants. Since Othello was alone, no one helped him investigate, so the matter was left unsettled.

After that, the director election began.

Because of Othello's sudden death, the election became the library's responsibility again.

On the other hand, the team of scholars who had gone out to study suddenly returned, which broke the nobles 'plans, and the right to vote returned to the library.

The election began as usual.

One was the experienced and diligent scholar clement, while the other was the vice director who had been promoted a few years ago. The results were obvious.

Clement was dumbfounded.

He had somehow become the head of the library.

He didn't do anything. How could this happen?

…

On this day.

In a large conference hall.

At this time, the hall was full of people. They were all members of the library, including some people from other forces. Today was the inauguration ceremony of the new library director.

Eli stood beside Clement and followed him to the high platform in the center.

Under the blessings of a group of Grand scholars and scholars, Clement took an ancient cane and a badge that represented his new identity and smiled.

The people below all smiled and applauded.

Many people heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Corsi family suddenly collapsed. Otherwise, there would have been chaos. No one wanted to suddenly become controlled by the king. Scholars were supposed to study and not serve the king's private ambition.

Just as everyone was clapping, in the corner.

A charming woman opened her mouth. She patted the woman beside her and asked, " That old man is scholar Clement?!"

"yeah, Hila. Don't you know? " The woman was also a scholar.

"Then who's that kid beside him?" Hila asked again.

"Him? I think he's clement's student. His name is eli, right?"

After hearing this, Hila was stunned.

How many years had it been?

Ten years?

She had always thought that Eli was Clement, and she had even directly given up the election for the Vice Director because of Eli.

Hila was confused.

The reality was too magical.

Just as the library was celebrating scholar Clement's promotion to head library …

At the same time, in the palace.

In a palace that was not very big, bryne the seventh was lying on a luxurious bed made of gauze. His head was resting on a pair of soft and tender thighs, and a pair of delicate hands was rubbing his temples.

"Your Majesty, I've received the news. The Corsi family fled from Jun Lin overnight. A scholar named Clement became the head of the library!" The woman was beautiful and dignified.

!!

"Oh, really?" The man on her Jade-like legs opened his eyes.

His face was very similar to Bryne the sixth's, but he was much younger than him. He also seemed to lack a trace of majesty, but there was an indescribable melancholy.

"Hmm, it seems that Your Majesty's plan this time wasn't very successful!" the woman gently rubbed the man's temple and said with a smile. "Do you want to investigate?"

"Forget it. There's no need. It was just a test anyway." Bryne the seventh sat up and held the woman in his arms.

"The original director, Seviro Mesa, was a good friend of my father's. I couldn't do anything about it. It was probably him who was behind this. He is very cunning." said Bryne the seventh calmly. "even if you investigate, you probably won't find anything. It's meaningless."

"Then, your majesty, are we just going to let the imperial library continue to develop like this?" The woman didn't understand.

"It's fine. Seviro Mesa was severely injured in the past, and he probably doesn't have many years left to live. When he dies, I'll slowly take over the Imperial Library!" Bryne the seventh pushed the woman onto the bed and looked down at her.

Although he was already forty-five years old, he still had the strength and heart of a Grand Knight.

The woman's face was slightly red, full of anticipation.

"Forget it, a few more!" Bryne the seventh sat up and shouted to the outside. A few women came in again.

The door was tightly shut.

…

At the same time, in the bryne Empire, seviro Mesa, who had just sneaked into an ancient tomb, sneezed and scratched his nose.

"I feel like someone is talking about me!" Seviro pursed his lips.

However, it was only for an instant. He then focused on excavating the ancient tomb.

He had already been in this desolate place for a week. Who would talk about him? It was really nonsensical. He might as well focus on the excavation of the ancient tomb.

"This time, I feel like I'll definitely be able to find something!" a smile appeared on Seviro's face, which was covered by a veil.

Three hours later, he left in a sorry state.

'F*ck! Is this a rat's nest or an ancient tomb?!'

Seviro left with a dejected look. Needless to say, he had gained nothing this time.

He took out a map of the bryne Empire and drew a cross on a certain spot.

Upon closer inspection, the crosses on the map had already covered almost three-quarters of the map. Most of them had been explored before.

…

What good would it do for his teacher to become the head director?

Eli felt it very clearly.

First of all, other people would be more polite to you.

Secondly, you'll have more freedom to go to work and leave work, and the guards won't stop you.

Finally, all the books in the library could be read, even if they were confidential.

How should he put it? It felt very good.

Of course, compared to the happy Eli, scholar Clement was much sadder. Although it was good that he had become the head of the library, he had to deal with even more things. As a 68-year-old man, it was hard on him. Thus, he decisively pulled his good student, Herman, to help him with the work.

Herman was dumbfounded. Every day, he would stare at the pile of documents on his desk.

Why was he always the one getting hurt? He was already 35 years old!

Couldn't he just rest for the rest of his life? He had to work during the day and at night. He felt like he was going to be squeezed dry.

…

The Empire was weakening day by day, and Eli was getting off work as usual.

To Eli, life was far calmer, and he began to devote himself to the experiment again.

Currently, he had two main experiments.

The first was the in-depth study of magic potions and the formulation of mental potions.

The study of potions had been the main content of his research, and his competency had been slowly but steadily improving. Compared to ten years ago, his level of potion-making had improved at least twice, and many potion formulas were at his fingertips.

On the other hand, there was a long way to go before he could concoct a potion that could increase his mental strength.

The main reason was that the advanced potionology manual did not record such a precious formula, so Eli could only figure out how to formulate it himself. However, it was never an easy task to create something from nothing.

The second was the study of bloodlines.

After all, he only had four books on wizardry and one notebook. Warlocks' bloodline choice was mainly theoretical, but it still had some practical applications, so he had been trying to learn it.

That was why he wanted Zhong Li to get him some demonic beast blood.

It was mainly because the blood he had collected earlier was almost used up.

The study of blood vessels was more complicated, and the experimental equipment and receptors needed were more troublesome, so he stored them in the valley outside the city.

"Forget it. I should go outside today." Seeing that it was still early, Eli decided to do the bloodline experiment today.

After leaving Jun Lin, Eli arrived at his secret base.

Calmly, he walked into the entrance that was filled with a dozen spell formations. This was enough to ensure that if anyone barged in, this place would be instantly buried, ensuring that the things inside would not be discovered.

It was completely silent inside.

There were only seven or eight caves scattered on the stone wall, and there seemed to be something inside.

Eli calmly walked into the one on the far left. This was a place that looked like a laboratory. It was mainly made up of animal experimental subjects, such as mice, wolves, tigers, and mainly monkeys.

It had to be said that the monkey was indeed a good test subject for bloodlines.

Eli didn't want to do human experiments because he didn't want to harm innocent people.

He still had some humanity in him.

"Let's start the experiment." Eli looked around and numbed a monkey.

He took out the experimental materials he had prepared. This time, he was going to do an animal experiment. He was going to try to transplant the hand of another wolf on the monkey. historical

Soon, the experiment began.

Eli began to work seriously.

Compared to a simple elemental experiment, this type of experiment was still very difficult. It was mainly about rejection and the damage to the limbs caused by biological fusion. The reason why he did this experiment was that he had something to verify.

What if he failed?

Who said that experiments had to be successful to be useful?

Knowledge is power.

This process was a form of wealth to Eli in and of itself.

This was a day in the dry and boring daily life of an eternal mage.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Everything was calm, and there were no changes.

A regular life filled him with motivation. Every day, Eli did experiments, went to work, studied, and occasionally had some entertainment.

And the seeds he planted more than ten years ago still hadn't sprouted. Eli found it strange. He had been watered with nutrients every day, so why didn't this thing bloom?

!!

However, after some research, Eli found that it should be a seed of a tree, and it was of very high quality. It might be able to provide Eli with the main material for the staff in the future and increase his combat power.

His current staff was the staff he got from Marquis Alina. Then, he integrated it with the staff left behind by victor, so its quality was slightly better than before.

And on this day, as he was returning home from work, he received a piece of news.

The former director was back.

Eli was very happy. After all, having someone to help search for Saleen Metatrin's legacy was indeed something to be happy about.

In fact, there was a reason why Eli wanted the former director to find something on Saleen. Eli didn't have any model of a first-circle spell.

He was looking forward to finding something he wanted in Saleen Metatrin's legacy.

…

They still met at the same familiar place.

"Director, how did it go this time?"

This time, the director seemed to have gone to a more remote place. His hair and clothes were a mess, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time. There was also a scar on his face, which was probably done by a beast.

"Hey, don't mention it. Let's drink something first." Severo sighed, picked up the wine glass beside him, and took a big gulp.

After drinking two bottles in one go, he seemed to feel better. He sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. I've searched many places, but I couldn't find anyone at all. Instead, I was almost killed by a demonic bear in the East of the vast sea Forest!"

"It's fine. Being alive is the most important thing." Ere sighed.

Although he really hoped that Seviro could find it, it was best to find it alive.

Moreover, the demonic bear that could hurt Seviro must be at least at the late stage of the zero-circle level. It could only be said that the world outside was still a little dangerous. Eli decided that he would not put himself in such danger unless he were a level 3 apprentice mage.

"Indeed," Seviro was a little dejected, but he quickly regained his resolve and said confidently, " the remaining area is getting smaller and smaller. I feel like I'll be there soon. I'll definitely find it.

"I was injured when I was young. This is my last chance. Even if I die, I will find these mages!" Seviro said firmly. Finding a mage might not be of much use to him, but once something became an obsession, it was impossible to change.

"Alright, if you need it, I can give you some help. I still have some friends." encouraged Eli.

"Really? Then I'll rely on you." Seviro's face was filled with surprise.

"Of course." Eli was taken aback and nodded.

"That's great. I haven't worked for two years, so I don't have an income. I really can't hold on much longer. Eli, you're really my good friend! " Seviro patted Eli's shoulder and smiled.

"Good luck!"

The wine glasses clattered, and the two of them took large gulps of wine.

…

Three days later, they were done packing.

Seviro set off once again, carrying the hopes of both him and Eli. He headed towards a mountain range in the North of the Bryne Empire, where Saleen metatrin had once lived for a month.

Three months later, he returned in a sorry state, even losing his luggage.

Once again, Eli thoughtfully replenished his supplies, and five days later, Seviro set off again.

This time, his destination was an inland lake in the south of the empire.

Five months later.

Seviro returned again.

It was said that he had started his investigation from the vicinity and even dived to the bottom of the lake, searching the area thoroughly. However, he did not find anything left behind by Saleen Metatrin. Instead, he encountered a school of extraordinary fish and managed to escape after much difficulty.

Although Seviro didn't find anything, he was still full of confidence.

He still believed that he could find it.

Eli didn't say anything, he only considerately compensated seviro with supplies, and seviro was very touched.

He continued his search.

…

This kind of life lasted for two years.

Eli had also provided almost dozens of gold tarls' worth of supplies. He didn't feel much about it, but Seviro seemed a little embarrassed.

In the tavern.

"Eli, thank you for supporting me all this time, but I still haven't found anything after more than two years. I don't even have the money to pay you back." seviro was already wavering.

"It's okay. It's just a little money. I'm willing to help. I just think you should rest for a while. " Eli consoled.

Seviro's condition was even worse now. His physical fitness had weakened, and there were a few more wounds on his body. It was only then that Eli knew that seviro had old injuries and that his life force had been severely depleted.

"No need. I don't have much time left." Seviro forced a smile, but he was no longer as confident as before.

What else could Eli say? he nodded silently.

This time, eli personally sent seviro off.

"Thank you!" Seviro thanked him and left on his horse.

Eli watched as his back disappeared into the horizon, then returned.

…

Another year passed.

"Eli, I'll definitely find it. Don't stop me."

At this moment, Seviro looked quite obsessed. Eli persuaded him to rest.

"No, you can't leave like this." Eli looked at his condition. His mental strength was in a bad state. How could he go out like this? he was completely courting death! historical

At this moment, Seviro didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to find the mages, even if it cost his life.

Finally, he was forcefully sent home by Eli.

Although Eli hoped that Seviro could find something of Saleen, it was definitely not through this way.

However, on the third day after he sent Seviro back, Eli learned that seviro had run away. Seviro only left Eli a letter. There was only one line in the letter.

When the rolling Rock rolled down the mountain, it would not stop unless it reached the bottom of the mountain.

Eli was silent.

He sighed and returned home.

…

Half a year later.

This was the last time Eli heard about seviro.

Seviro had been captured, taken to prison, and was about to die.

Seviro had gone straight to the Imperial mausoleum and dug through Saleen Metatrin's tomb. That was why he had been captured.

When everyone heard the news, they were all in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Eli went home in silence.

Realizing that there was an additional letter in his mailbox, Eli was stunned.

It was because the material of the letter was the same material that Severo often used to write letters to him.

There were only a few words in the letter.

"I've found it!"

86 Arrest

Eli, who was familiar with Seviro Mesa, was certain that it was his handwriting.

He might have just finished exploring the mausoleum and immediately shared this letter with Eli before he was caught.

"What did he find?" Eli held the letter, a little confused.

Had he found what Saleen metatrin had left behind? Was it in the mausoleum? Then what was it?

Or was there something in the tomb that allowed him to confirm where Saleen metatrin's things were?

"Sigh, this won't do. I have to see seviro Mesa." After hesitating for a moment, Eli still felt that it would be necessary to meet seviro Mesa.

As for where the former director was? Eli decided to look for his teacher.

…

In the library.

Third floor.

In the director's study, Eli met his teacher.

"Eli, I thought you didn't have to work today? Is there something you need from me?" Clement touched the glasses on his nose. His vision had not been very good over the years.

"Yes, teacher." Eli nodded.

"Speak!" Eli had been with him for more than twenty years, so they understood each other well.

"Yes, teacher. I would like to know the situation of the former director, Seviro Mesa." Eli said without any hesitation.

Clement suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes. "Don't get involved in this matter. Bryne the seventh is already very angry. He won't live for long.

"I also respect the director, but what he did this time was too much. No one can help him."

Digging up someone's ancestral grave did seem a little overboard.

However, looking at Eli's determined eyes, clement's heart softened again. "it's true. I know that you have some connection with seviro Mesa, but just give up. No one can save him."

Eli still didn't say anything.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'm so unlucky. Why would I have students like you and Herman? I'll help you find out. Don't do anything stupid. You're my student, after all." Clement sighed.

Clement had no children. Herman and Eli were the closest people to him. At this moment, he was as helpless as an old father.

"Thank you, teacher." Knowing that his teacher would agree, Eli laughed.

"Why are you laughing? I still have a lot of work to do. You have to help me finish it today."

"Alright, I'll do it, I'll do it. Teacher, you can go and rest." A light-hearted voice was heard.

A smile appeared on Clement's face.

…

No matter what, Clement was now the director of the Imperial Library. His social status and information channels were incomparable to those before. Very quickly, he had gathered what Eli wanted.

Looking at the letter that was handed over, Eli took it.

"This is all the content. Remember to destroy it after you're done reading." Clement said as he watched Eli take the envelope.

"Okay, teacher." Eli was a little surprised. It had only been half a day, and he had actually found all the information. This could only mean that it was not bad to have a library director as a teacher.

"Then, teacher, I've finished my work, so I'll take my leave first." Eli was almost done with clement's work, so he prepared to go back and read the contents of the letter.

"Yes." Clement nodded and watched as Eli walked out the door.

But just as he reached the door, he called out to him.

"Eli, you're very smart, but don't do anything stupid. " Clement was still a little worried.

"Teacher, don't worry. What can an ordinary person like me do?" Eli smiled and walked out of the room.

…

Soon, he returned home.

He opened the letter and saw that it recorded the entire process.

The cause of the incident was five days ago. A guard of the Imperial mausoleum suddenly felt sick in his stomach while he was on his daily patrol. He wanted to find a forest nearby to settle his problem, but he found a big humanmade cave in the forest instead. historical

The guard was so shocked that he didn't even bother to pull up his pants.

He quickly reported it.

A group of two grand knights and more than a dozen knights surrounded the cave. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Seviro Mesa climbed out and was captured. After some investigation, they found that the end of the cave was the imperial mausoleum.

Bryne the seventh was furious, and Seviro Mesa was imprisoned. He would be executed in ten days.

"The director was so unlucky!" After reading this, the corners of Eli's mouth twitched.

If it wasn't for the guard's stomachache, how could he have come to such a remote forest? He wouldn't have found the hole, and seviro mesa wouldn't have been caught.

It could only be said that everything was a coincidence.

"Sigh, what a pity!" Eli shook his head, then looked at the address where Seviro Mesa was kept.

In the deepest part of the second imperial prison, room three.

"Alright, I'll have to make a trip." Eli turned around and prepared to take action, but in the next second, he was stunned on the spot.

He had to find out about the layout of the prison first!

He took half a day to do that.

The second prison of the kingdom was very luxurious as it mainly held the important people of the Empire and prisoners. Whether it was the walls or the underground, they were made of tough iron and stone, which was a kind of stone with high density.

As for the guards here, apart from a small number of soldiers, the guards were all Knights. There might even be a Grand Knight standing guard here at any time to prevent anyone from escaping.

"There are quite a few guards, but it's not a whole army. The most important thing is that I can't cause too much of a commotion, or else reinforcement will come quickly." Eli gave a simple analysis.

He also took a map of the surrounding area. After all, he was going in to find someone, so he had to be more prepared.

However, to be honest, the danger was not that great.

With a little trick, it was not difficult to sneak in.

Soon, Eli thought of a good way to sneak in.

Although the guards here were Grand Knights, the head Warden was just an ordinary person. He was only able to become the head Warden because he was a member of the great nobles.

Instead of sneaking in, why not just walk in openly?

In any case, he had the faceless mask. After all, this was a Knight's Kingdom. No one would have thought that there was such a thing.

"Oh, who's the warden again?" Eli looked at the information he had gathered.

A name came into Eli's sight.

Kaelun Herm.

Marquis Herm's third son was an intermediate Knight. He had studied at the Empire's Knight Academy and became the head Warden of the Empire's second prison at the age of 26. He had only recently arrived at the Empire's second prison for a month.

Herm family, wasn't that the mortal enemy of Alina's family?

Of course, that wasn't important. What was important was that he had only been in the position for a month, so he definitely wasn't familiar with the place. This surprised Eli.

"It doesn't seem to be too difficult." A smile appeared on Eli's face.

Report chapter Comments

He was the third son of the Herm family. However, he had moved out of the Herm family's manor a few years ago and was living alone in a Manor not far from Jun Lin.

"This is his Manor."

Eli glanced at the manor not far away, and his figure turned into a black shadow, quickly sneaking into the manor.

It was just an ordinary Manor, so how could it possibly stop Eli? Soon, he searched the manor and confirmed Kaelun's location.

…

"Beauty, you look so sexy today!"

In the room, Kaelun gave a perverted smile to the woman on the bed.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, short, and fat. His face was round and chubby, and there were many pimples on it. He looked very ordinary, even a little ugly.

The woman, on the other hand, had a delicate appearance, but she was slightly regretful. When she heard from her father that a direct descendant of the Herman family wanted to see her, she was pleasantly surprised, but when she saw him, she felt like vomiting.

He was too ugly, but she had no chance to regret it.

"I'm coming!" Kaelun pursed his lips. The woman in front of him was very beautiful, and he could easily get her with a simple trick. This feeling made him very happy.

Kaelun smiled and walked towards the woman but suddenly felt a little dizzy. historical

He shook his heavy head and looked at the woman in front of him. She was unconscious.

"Something's wrong!" Kaelun's eyes widened. The next second, his vision blurred, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you kidding me? Even Grand Knights might not be able to resist the knockout powder. Can you? " After the two of them fainted, Eli walked in from the window. He looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows.

If a normal person inhaled this drug, they would be unconscious for a long time, so there was no need to worry about the woman. It was better to focus on his target, Kaelun.

Looking at the stool beside him, Eli tied him to it and stuffed his mouth.

He woke Kaelun up.

Immediately, a Wuwu sound came out of his mouth.

What exactly happened? he was dumbfounded.

Then, he saw the man's eyes light up, and he fell unconscious again.

Ten minutes later.

The man was unconscious on the chair.

On the other hand, Eli nodded in satisfaction. he already knew everything.

Initially, he had wanted to get more information about the prison from Kaelun, but when he found out that he had only been there once and knew almost nothing, he was shocked.

He knows that some nobles are more undisciplined and lazy, but this man was on a whole new level.

However, this made Eli even more relaxed. In this case, the prison would not know anything about him, which made him even more relaxed.

Tolerating the disgust, Eli took off Kaelun's clothes. His appearance and body quickly changed into Karen's through the mask, and he put on his clothes.

He looked at himself in the mirror and found that he looked exactly like Kaelun.

"Not bad, this is enough." a smile appeared on Eli's face, and he turned to look at the two people not far away.

He carried them directly onto the bed and made sure that they wouldn't wake up for a day, then he strode out of the room.

"Master!" There was a guard at the door who was standing guard seriously.

"Not bad, you're full of energy," Eli praised.

"It's all for the Lord. With me here, I won't let a single insect enter." The guard was excited.

"Not bad!" Eli nodded. "Prepare the carriage. I'm going to the second prison." In the past ten minutes or so, Eli had already learned about Kaelun's tone and some of his habits. It might be a little flawed, but it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Yes!" Although the guard found it strange since it was almost nighttime, but he didn't say anything.

"Oh, right, you just stay here. Don't open the door before tomorrow, and don't let anyone in. I trust you, so I'm giving you this task!" Eli patted the guard on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Yes!" The guard was in high spirits. Oh my God, he actually won the master's appreciation today.

Very quickly, the carriage was arranged.

The carriage took Eli all the way to the Empire's second prison.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Eli walked down and swaggered inside.

Two low-level Knights were guarding the door. When they saw someone coming, they were ready to stop them.

"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see who this is? This is the head Warden, master Kaelun!" Before Eli could open his mouth, the man who was both the coachman and his guard shouted.

"I'm sorry, lord warden." The two guards were taken aback as well. They looked at Eli, not expecting him to really be the Lord Warden.

After all, he had only been here once, and it was dark and windy now, so the two of them could not see him clearly.

"It's fine, it's fine. I just have something to do." Eli waved his hand generously and walked straight in. The two guards didn't even dare to stop him.

"I'm going to see seviro. Do you guys know where he is? " as if remembering something, eli turned around and asked.

"Lord Warden, Seviro should be at the lowest level. He's being held there alone. I'll take you there." The guard hesitated for a moment before saying.

Normally, no one was allowed to see seviro. However, the person in front of him was the head Warden. If he wanted to see seviro, no one would dare to stop him.

"Alright, then you'll take me to see him." a smile appeared on Eli's face.

'This is more like it!'

Why did he have to sneak in? Wasn't it better to enter openly?

The faceless mask might sound useless, but it was a God-tier item in the Knight Kingdom. It would be even more terrifying if it was used in a world of mortals.

Just like that, Eli was brought all the way to the bottommost level.

"Huh? Isn't seviro locked up in Room 3? " On the way, Eli asked as he walked past the three rooms.

"That's the information that was released. Seviro is a Grand Knight. How could he be locked up there? The place where he's locked up is even more hidden. It's hard for normal people to find out." The guard explained. "Lord Warden doesn't come here often, so you don't know."

"Oh, I see." Eli nodded.

Fortunately, he didn't come in by himself.

Soon, after passing through a secret passage, Eli arrived at a floor that was not recorded in official records.

"My Lord, Seviro is locked up in the innermost area, but his condition might not be good." The guard said.

"Oh? " Eli raised an eyebrow.

…

In another room.

"The Lord Warden went to see seviro." The guard reported.

"So be it. He's the warden, anyway. As long as he doesn't do anything crazy, he can do whatever he wants." The guard reported to the only Grand Knight posted at the prison.

The guard left.

The Grand Knight, on the other hand, began to exercise normally and did not feel that there was any problem.

88 Knowledge

The floor where Severo was locked up was completely hidden and was only used to lock up the most important prisoners.

At the moment, there were not many people locked up here, only five or six. When eli looked over, they were all lying inside, having completely lost their desire to live.

"My lord, seviro is in the innermost area." The guard said as he walked in front.

Soon, they came to the end of the corridor and came to a huge iron door. There was only a ten-centimeter long and five-centimeter wide iron window on the iron door that allowed them to see inside.

Eli looked through the window, and the scene inside was reflected in his eyes.

In the lightless prison, seviro's feet were shackled with thick chains, and so were his hands. He was strung in the air, his hair disheveled, and his head lowered as if he had lost all sense of the outside world.

And if Eli wasn't wrong, seviro's body was covered in wounds, and his life force was like a weak flame. In fact, Eli felt like he would die in the next second.

There was no hope.

"What happened?" Looking at seviro's expression, Eli felt sad, which was very rare.

"Master, you don't know how terrifying that old man was. He fought dozens of Knights and killed dozens of advanced Knights. He didn't care about his life at all. He even killed a Grand Knight, and another grand Knight was seriously injured. In the end, he couldn't hold on anymore. Otherwise, he would have run away. Now, he is dying." The guard said with a face full of fear.

"Yes, all of you, leave. I want to go in and take a look." Eli said.

"But, my Lord, there's still a certain level of danger." The guard dissuaded.

"Master, you can't go in. It's too dangerous." Eli's guards also tried their best to dissuade him.

"Get lost. I want to go in!" Eli stared at the two of them.

"Alright!" The guard hesitated for a moment, then immediately went to get the key. He quickly returned and opened the door.

Eli's guard took a look and left hesitantly as well.

"Seviro!" Eli walked straight into the darkness.

In the darkness, Severo coughed twice. In the darkness, under his loose hair, he couldn't see Eli.

"Who are you? Am I going to die?" He panted with difficulty.

"You are indeed dying. Your life force is about to be extinguished." Eli said softly.

This time, seviro didn't say anything.

In the darkness, he could only hear the sound but not see Eli's face.

"Just like before, let's talk about what you've encountered this time. Let's catch up, " Eli said with a smile.

Seviro was speechless.

Why did it feel a little familiar?

"Sigh, you really make me worry. Old friend, I told you not to do this." Eli shook his head and slowly approached. His appearance gradually changed, and he returned to his original appearance.

This time, the distance was close enough for Seviro to see Eli.

His eyes widened.

"Eli!" Seviro's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wasn't this the deepest part of the prison? How did he get in?

"How did you get in?" Seviro coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his expression changed. historical

"Didn't you write me a letter? You didn't clearly state what you found, so I came to find you," Eli replied.

Seviro, "…"

He understood that, but how the hell did Eli get in?

"Let's have a chat. What did you discover this time?" Eli sat on the ground and then took out a bottle of rum from his arms.

"You bastard." When he smelled the wine, the corners of seviro's shriveled mouth curled up, but he found himself trapped and unable to move at all.

Suddenly, two gusts of wind passed by.

The sound of metal being cut rang out. Seviro fell from the air. He was dumbfounded when he saw the chains on both sides of his hands break.

"What is this?" Seviro said, trembling.

"Sit down and have a drink," Eli said.

"Alright!" With all his doubts, Seviro sat down and gritted his teeth. This was because his injuries were too severe.

"Let's talk about your matter first," Eli said.

"Alright!" Severo picked up the rum with difficulty and took a sip.

"Since I left Jun Lin for the last time, I'd already harbored the thought of dying outside if I don't find anything. I knew my condition was getting worse and worse.

"Then, three months ago, I finally finished searching all the places I wanted to check. There were only two places left, and the Empire's imperial mausoleum was one of them." Seviro didn't hold back at all as he spoke. he took a sip of wine and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Eli sat opposite him and looked at him calmly.

"And what did you find there?" Eli asked.

"No, there's nothing inside. It's just an empty shell." Seviro laughed and coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. " I was discovered instead. I wanted to escape, but there were too many of them. I ended up like this. "

Eli took a sip of rum as well and then said, "Then what about your letter?"

"Didn't I tell you that there are only two places left? If there's nothing at the mausoleum, then it has to be at the other place." Seviro cast a glance at Eli and spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, there was some flesh and internal organs.

Eli didn't stop him.

Because of Seviro's condition, he was really beyond saving.

"Where is it?"

"The underground of the palace's main hall." Seviro didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

"Under the main hall?" Eli raised an eyebrow. "Then how can you be sure that it's not somewhere else in the palace?"

"Ha, I searched every inch of the palace when I was the director, except for that place. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right. That place was solid, but I once felt a slight echo from underground. If I wasn't a top Grand Knight, I wouldn't have heard it. But I didn't think too much about it at that time.

"It also seemed that Saleen metatrin had been there before he died.

"I'm sure his trace could be found under the main hall," Seviro said bitterly.

If only he had noticed this more than a decade ago.

"Is that so?" Eli was also very shocked.

He didn't expect this revelation.

However, if it were really there, he would have to think about how about to go about this.

"What about you? What's going on with you?" seviro mesa then looked at eli.

Eli didn't answer. He moved his right palm, and a burning fireball appeared.

The light from the fire illuminated their faces, and seviro Mesa was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Eli and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"So my dream was realized long ago?" A few minutes later, Seviro spoke with a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry!" Eli apologized.

"It's okay, haha. I found it. I told you, mages do exist. Haha! " Seviro Mesa suddenly laughed out loud, and his internal organs spurted out along with the blood.

"Thank you, " he said to Eli. "I have no regrets in this life! I can feel that I'm going to die soon. Can you go out? I don't want you to see me in such a sorry state.

"Also, I still have a daughter in Junlin. After I die, she'll be in danger. Can you help me send her away from Junlin?"

"Alright!" Eli picked up the rum and walked out of the room.

Five minutes later.

Eli felt the aura of the door behind him disappear.

He entered again.

Seviro had already fallen to the ground with a smile on his face. He had lost his life.

Eli sighed.

89 Wait

After Seviro's death, Eli sighed, turned around, and walked out.

The two guards were waiting.

"let's go," said Eli directly.

"Alright," he said. The guard nodded.

!!

"Sir Warden, how is seviro's condition? Should I go in and take a look?" The prison guards were a little hesitant.

"He's in pretty good shape. We'll see how it goes later." Eli said calmly, having transformed back into Kaelun.

"Alright!"

Just like that, Eli was brought out of the prison without anyone stopping him.

Eli got into the carriage and headed back the way he came. On the way, he found an excuse to get out of the carriage and left the place, secretly returning to Jun Lin to go home.

When the guard was wondering why the old master wasn't back three hours later, he finally realized that something was wrong. He looked around but didn't find any traces.

"I'm done for." The guard felt that something was not right and was ready to leave and return to the manor.

When they arrived at the manor, everyone was shocked after the report was made. The guard who had been standing guard outside the door mustered his courage and opened the door, only to see Kaelun tied up and unconscious on the bed.

The Herm family was shocked.

Meanwhile, in the prison…

When the guards returned and saw the dead Seviro Mesa and the broken chain, they understood that something major had happened.

The Grand Knight in charge of this place was also dumbfounded.

He immediately brought a team of Knights to the Herm family to demand an explanation.

Marquis Herm was also dumbfounded. On the other side, when he found out that Kaelun was unconscious, he was dumbfounded.

He told the grand knight who was stationed at the prison the truth, but the grand knight didn't believe him. His guards weren't blind, so how could they mistake the warden for someone else?

He immediately thought that Marquis Herm was covering for his son and reported it to Bryne the seventh.

Bryne the seventh was furious!

He gave the order to capture Kaelun, but at the same time, the Herm family was also in deep trouble. They were immediately searched, and a large number of crimes against the Empire were found. Then, their title was immediately cut off.

When Kealun, who had just woken up, saw the dozen or so Knights around him, he was dumbfounded. After knowing what " he " had done, he was even more dumbfounded. He quickly denied it, but no one believed him. Or rather, the king did not want to believe it.

Just like that, when Alex woke up, he was also dumbfounded to hear that his old enemy had been arrested.

As for why Bryne the seventh had such a strong reaction, there was a reason for it.

The Imperial mausoleum represented the dignity of the royal family. The fact that it had been dug up shamed him. The king needed to push someone out as the scapegoat, and the Herm family was it.

Secondly, everyone was watching. If he didn't give a reasonable explanation, Bryne the seventh's prestige would be reduced again.

Of course, these were all stories for later.

…

On the third day.

The Imperial Library retrieved seviro's body and buried it in the library's tomb.

It might have been a coincidence, but it rained heavily that day.

Eli offered seviro a bouquet of flowers, then stood in the crowd and watched the priest recite a prayer.

A woman who looked to be in her 30s was crying heavily. In the rain, she did not hold an umbrella and allowed the rain to hit her body. Everyone could see her sadness.

She was Seviro's daughter.

Seviro's daughter was already 30 years old. After all, seviro was almost 60 years old. How could his daughter be so young? She was very beautiful.

Eli sighed.

From a certain point of view, seviro had a sad life.

He was actually very talented as a mage, but it was a pity that he was born in this world. On the other hand, it was the ordinary-looking Eli who got the mage's inheritance. It was really a freak combination of factors.

His first 20 years had been tragic.

His twenty years in the middle were glorious.

For the last 20 years, he had been caught in a maddening search.

This was seviro's life, brilliant and glorious.

After the banquet ended, the others left. historical

On the other hand, Eli was following Seviro's daughter, and he quickly caught up to her.

"Hello, I'm a friend of your father. I'm also very sad that your father died, but jun lin is not suitable for you to stay for long," said Eli directly.

"Um." the woman was shocked as well, but when eli took out a bracelet that he had taken from seviro before he left, the woman nodded.

It was the necklace that her father always carried with him, and it was impossible for outsiders to get their hands on it.

"Alright," she said. The woman was also very straightforward. She understood that Junlin was not suitable for her.

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements. You can go home and pack," said Eli directly.

The two separated.

Since he had promised Seviro, it was only natural that Eli would fulfill his promise.

Three hours later, a caravan carrying a large number of goods set off from the Kazan Chamber of Commerce, heading for the Lorraine Kingdom.

"You'll be safe in the Lorraine kingdom. Someone will take care of everything. you don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life." Eli said to the woman in the carriage.

"This isn't good." The woman was a little hesitant. She had received so many benefits for no reason. He had sent her away and arranged everything.

If she remembered correctly, her father had been in a state of poverty for a long time. How could he have the ability to pay this man in advance?

"Don't worry, seviro has already given me enough compensation." As if he could read the woman's mind, Eli said.

Seviro had indeed given him his reward.

It was a place where there was a 90% chance that Saleen metatrin's remains were still there.

To Eli, this alone was worth an entire manor.

Not to mention, seviro had even paid with his life for it.

"I'll drop you off here. The journey was thankfully smooth." Eli bade farewell.

"I'll definitely repay you in the future." The woman said gratefully.

"There's no need." Shaking his head, Eli got out of the car.

They were on the road a few kilometers away from Junlin, and there were still many people.

Looking at the long line of carriages, Eli turned around and returned to Jun Lin.

…

Although Seviro had died, he had left behind very precious information.

Saleen metatrin's legacy was left in the palace, and it was in the underground of the main hall.

It was impossible to excavate that place without making a sound. There were even countless Grand Knights in the palace. Even if it were Eli, it would be impossible for him to escape from the hands of more than ten grand Knights.

Therefore, he couldn't be reckless in this matter. He had to be fully prepared.

If it was seviro, he might have immediately sneaked into the palace.

Eli shook his head thinking of his friend.

90 Opportunity

If the time were one day, one week, one month, or even one year, the possibility of a break would be zero.

However, if the time were extended indefinitely, the probability of an opportunity appearing would be 100%.

And this was the one hundred percent chance that Eli was waiting for.

…

!!

Five years later.

Eli had just finished a day's work and left the library when he heard his teacher calling for him.

"Teacher, you were looking for me?"

In the familiar library, Eli met his teacher.

"Oh, Eli, you're here." Clement raised his head and looked at Eli.

At this time, his hair and beard were all white, and the wrinkles on his arms were clearly visible. He was already 80 years old. In this world, except for those Grand Knights, he was really considered old.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Eli asked directly.

He should be 47 years old at the moment, and his appearance gave off the feeling of an uncle who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. His eyes seemed to be filled with knowledge and were filled with a different kind of charm.

At this time, there was no one to talk to him about marriage.

Everyone knew that learner eli was a man who liked to be alone.

Oh, right, he was still a learner at the moment, and he simply didn't want to be promoted. Otherwise, with his knowledge and connection, it would be very easy for him. the main thing was that he might have to take care of students after becoming a scholar. If he had a student like Herman, it would be a headache.

Speaking of Herman, he had already retired and had a grandson. Eli had even given his grandson a name.

Over the years, he had also known many people who had died. Dor example, the kid from the knight academy had died in a duel, and Roland's second son had accidentally drowned!

It had only been five years, and the changes had been so great.

It was foreseeable that there would be a period of time in the future when a large number of Eli's friends would die. Just thinking about it made him feel a little vexed.

Eli could only remain calm and focus on more important things.

This was the only way he could maintain his motivation.

"Send out this document and see who wants to try it." Clement pushed out a document.

Eli took it.

After a casual glance, his eyes lit up.

He understood.

The opportunity had come.

The document simply stated that His Majesty the king's six-year-old eldest Princess needed a teacher who was proficient in history to undergo five years of education.

Bryne the seventh originally had one eldest son, who died in an accident about seven years ago. Currently, he only had a Princess who was born six years ago. According to Bryne's rules, women also had the right to inherit. As the eldest princess, as long as she was not too bad in the future, she would have the opportunity to become Bryne the eighth.

This was an opportunity for Eli.

It was not easy to excavate the main hall of the palace, but what if the queen wanted to excavate and rebuild it?

Eli's thoughts were simple.

After controlling the future queen, when she inherited the throne, it would be time for him to reap the rewards.

As for the fact that it might take some time, that was a small problem.

"Teacher, who is qualified for this?" Eli turned and asked.

"Are you interested in this?" Clement raised his head, and a rare look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This student of his was not bad in other aspects, but he was very lazy.

He was too lazy to socialize.

He was too lazy to be promoted.

He was too lazy to go out.

Apart from the friends he made when he was young, he would not attend any parties or social meetings with strangers. He would not take the initiative to make friends with others either.

Although he vaguely knew that Eli's social circle was actually quite high-end, he wasn't very sure. Anyway, he felt that Eli should make more new friends.

As for the promotion, Eli was too lazy to even take on a student. However, after having Herman as a student, Clement understood why.

Clement had the most misgiving about Eli's social life. In the past thirty years, the only time he had gone out was to negotiate with the Lorraine Kingdom. Other than that, he had never gone beyond the ten-kilometer range of the Jun Lin.

"Do you want to try?" Clement asked again, and his tone was somewhat impatient.

"Uh, I do have some ideas." eli looked at teacher clement's actions and laughed. Was it that ridiculous?

"Okay, then I'll have a good chat with you." Clement nodded and motioned for Eli to sit down.

Eli sat down.

"Well, in fact, every princess and prince has many teachers. These teachers are generally proficient in different aspects of knowledge. This is to ensure that they have their own opinions from different aspects.

"This time, the first princess needs a history teacher. If you are interested, you can try it. As long as you are a learner or a scholar in the Empire, you can try." Clement said.

Eli nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Well, what if there are many people who tried to fight for the post?" Eli asked.

"Well, it's usually based on fame, or someone will test you. It depends on your ability. However, if you aren't even a scholar, I'm afraid you'll be directly eliminated and don't even need to participate in the competition." Clement glanced at Eli and smiled.

Eli was speechless. Was all hope lost?

"don't worry, you're my student. With my letter of recommendation, you'll be able to pass easily." Seeing Eli's expression, Clement laughed.

"Teacher, I'll leave the letter of recommendation to you." Eli smiled as he looked at Clement.

"A month's worth of work."

"Three days,"

"Twenty days."

"A week!"

In the end, after a heated discussion, Eli won the recommendation letter with ten days of helping out with Clement's work.

"Thank you, teacher. I'll take my leave then!" Eli left with a smile.

Looking at Eli, he shook his head. He wasn't being serious at all.

He had once thought of letting Eli inherit his position, but after seeing Eli's attitude, he gave up on this unrealistic idea. It was impossible for him to handle documents every day.

"Hey, why are the documents still here?" suddenly, he realized that eli didn't take the documents with him. "Eli, come back! Do you still want the recommendation letter?"

…

Three days later.

Eli went to the palace with a recommendation letter from his teacher.

He showed the letter to a guard, and then he was led all the way to the palace, through many long corridors and gates, and was brought to a building.

The moment he entered.

Eli looked around. historical

Good Lord, so many people.

There were more than a dozen people, including several grand scholars and other scholars. Some of them were famous scholars, and they were all sitting on the chairs on both sides of the room.

The competition was fierce!

Eli sat quietly on the chair at the back, waiting for the selection to begin.

Just as he sat down, another person sat down beside him.

He turned his head and looked.

The famous female scholar of the Empire, Hila.

"Long time no see! Hello, " Eli greeted.

Report chapter Comments

91 Teacher

"Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here." Hila was a little surprised to see Eli.

Ever since Clement's teacher had become the director, the two of them had gotten to know each other again. They were now considered friends, very good friends.

Hila was no longer young, but even though she was about the same age as eli, she had maintained herself very well, as if she was around 30 years old. She always had a faint smile on her face, and she looked very friendly.

"I'm here to take a look. What about you?" Eli replied.

"Me? I don't have that kind of free time. It's just that someone recommended me, so I came." Hila and Eli were a little similar. They did not care about these things and preferred to research.

Eli nodded and did not say anything else.

Soon, more people arrived in the hall.

Eli didn't expect that there would be so much competition for a teacher of the first princess.

Just as everyone was waiting, a group of people suddenly entered the main hall. The person in the lead was a dignified and beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes. Beside her were guards.

From the whispers of the people around him, eli learned that she was her majesty the queen.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Christina, little Anna's mother. I'm very happy that so many people are here today," the woman said slowly.

"Today, there are three Grand scholars, sixteen scholars, and an honorary learner. You are all the pillars of the Empire, and each of you is enough to teach little Anna." The Queen said.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. A learner? Was there a learner among them? Who was so brave?

Eli pursed his lips while Hila, who was beside him, gently covered her mouth. Her voluptuous body trembled slightly. This was too funny.

Eli had always been a learner, and she had teased him about this a lot.

"Well, it's a very difficult problem to choose a teacher, so we decided to let little Anna choose directly. You'll each teach her for 20 minutes, and she'll choose at the end." The Queen announced her choice. historical

The people had different expressions.

This method was very new.

On the other hand, Eli's eyes lit up. This selection method suited him very well.

"Okay, that's it then. Everyone, get ready for 15 minutes. We'll start in a while! " The Queen had come and left in a hurry, leaving with the others.

Everyone was thinking about how to teach.

On the other hand, only Hila and Eli were chatting.

"I'm not interested. Are you really not worried at all? " Hila looked at Eli and asked with a smile.

"It's alright. I'll leave it to fate," Eli said humbly.

"You're worthy of your reputation!" Hila's eyes flickered as she revealed a smile.

'This guy, Eli, is still as confident as ever!'

However, as someone who was familiar with Eli, she knew that Eli's knowledge was no less than hers. He was really knowledgeable, and she would sometimes ask him for advice. It was incredible.

As the two of them chatted, the others naturally noticed the two of them.

"Who is this man? Do you know him? He looks very close to scholar Hila!" One of the scholars asked the scholar beside him.

"I think he's a student of Grand scholar Clement." the man replied. Seeing Hila covering her mouth and laughing, he was also a little unhappy.

Clement had been a Grand Sholar a few years ago.

There was a reason for the man's unhappiness. One of the reasons was Hila. When she was in her twenties, she was the most beautiful female scholar in the Empire. Now that she was in her fifties, she was still the most beautiful female scholar in the Empire. She was also very popular in the academic circle, especially since she was still single.

"Is he the learner? He's really messing around, what's he doing here?" The man was a little dissatisfied with Eli's reality, but he was even more dissatisfied with Hila's attitude.

She was usually very cold and aloof and rarely got close to others.

"it seems like your charm is really long-lasting. It hasn't changed at all after so many years." Naturally, Eli felt the hostility from the other men and teased Hila.

"Hmph! that potion of yours is quite useful," Hila said as she glanced at Eli. "I do feel like I'm in a good state. Rias likes it a lot too."

The two of them were talking about anti-aging potions that he had made for Rias. As for Hila, he made them for her later in his life.

The two of them chatted for a while before Hila suddenly said, "At this moment, a Grand scholar entered the room. He was a court scholar. He looked at the crowd and said, "The first one, scholar Cole!"

An old man stood up and was taken away. The others stayed where they were and waited.

Eli continued to chat with Hila as if he was not worried at all. The others' originally nervous feelings were also shattered by the two as they watched the two 'flirt'.

Soon, scholar Cole returned.

Another scholar was summoned.

The princess could only do this for so long. Therefore, it was better to get summoned earlier than later.

Very quickly, Hila tidied up her clothes and left. She returned twenty minutes later.

"How is it?"

"The princess is very beautiful!" Hila replied.

Eli, "??"

'What do you mean by that? What does it have to do with me whether the princess is beautiful or not?'

"Didn't you say that you like the younger ones?" hila glanced at him and said.

Eli, "…"

As for when he said those words, Eli couldn't even remember. 'I didn't expect this woman to remember. It must be when we were chatting in the past.'

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Hila looked at Eli's expression and laughed.

At this moment, three-quarters of the crowd had passed, and it was finally Eli's turn.

"I'm leaving!" After saying goodbye to Hila, Eli and the guard left.

After walking past a few palaces, they came to a small palace.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a table not far away and a little girl with a helpless face.

Hila did not lie to him; she was indeed beautiful.

The little girl's skin was very fair and her face was very pretty. Although she was still young, one could tell that she was a beauty. She was like a little angel, extremely beautiful.

Of course, Eli wouldn't really have any thoughts about it. In fact, he still preferred older ones.

He liked women like hila, who had big breasts, a good figure, and long legs.

"Are you the new scholar? Let's start." When the little girl saw that more people had come, she waved her hand and told him to start.

"Alright!" Eli nodded. "Which history do you wish to learn?"

"Then, let's talk about when bryne established his country. " the girl thought for a while and said.

"Alright, I know quite a lot about this." Eli nodded. The guards were standing nearby.

Eli began his lecture, and at the same time, an invisible mental force was emitted. This was a simple application of the charm spell.

This was not a fair competition, to begin with.

Eli spoke with fervor and assurance, and the girl quickly fell into it. She kept feeling that the grandfather in front of her had an inexplicable attraction, which made her have a good impression of him.

In fact, Eli was also a good teacher. In order to assist and help seviro mesa in her search, Eli had also read a large amount of information and was very clear about the foundation of the kingdom.

Soon, the story ended.

The girl, who was the first princess, pointed at Eli and said in a tender voice, "He is the teacher I want."

92 Double Happiness

Very quickly, the matter of the first princess choosing her teacher was over.

To everyone's shock, in the end, it was actually a learner who got the job. After knowing that his teacher was the head of the library, many people immediately called it a conspiracy.

However, very quickly, scholar Hila directly showed her support to Eli, which surprised everyone. Some people even said that they had seen the two of them somewhere before, and their eyes instantly shifted.

Everyone was curious about the relationship between eli and this imperial grand scholar.

!!

Could it be that scholar Hila had always been single because of…

Some people were also surprised to find that the famous Countess of the Empire, countess Rias, seemed to be inextricably linked to him.

Many people shed tears of grief.

Speaking of which, rias and hila had always been the empire's most beautiful ladies. Their looks seemed to change only slightly every year, but overall, they were still very beautiful. The two of them had gained quite a bit of fame.

But for Eli …

As usual, he pretended not to hear or respond. This way, more people would think that Eli had something to do with the two beautiful ladies.

…

Just like that, another schedule was added to Eli's daily routine.

That was to teach the princess every weekend. With the wonderful use of mental power, the princess also developed an inexplicable sense of dependence on Eli, and a Soul brand was planted on her a year later.

He had controlled the princess emotionally and mentally.

Eli felt rather bad.

However, it didn't matter. It was just a pity that she wasn't a Prince. It might have been better if she was.

Time passed day by day.

Scholar Clement grew old day by day.

A year later, scholar Clement no longer worked and moved back home.

As for the library, it also changed with the passage of time. The number of lower-class nobles in the library had also increased a lot. Some positions were slowly taken over by the nobles. historical

However, at least for now, the director and Vice Director weren't nobles.

But even so, Eli could feel the library's atmosphere change. The library stopped focusing that much on research and study.

Eli didn't think much of it. Six or seven years ago, he had done everything to protect his teacher's interests, but as time passed, his teacher's body wasn't strong enough to go to the library anymore, and Eli stopped paying as much attention.

On normal days, he would visit his teacher.

After all, this man had been teaching Eli for about thirty years, and he had a huge influence on him.

In particular, his attitude of researching in silence and not seeking fame and fortune had a great impact on Eli. This played a very important role in his ability to focus on his research and not cause trouble.

Eli's thoughts were really changing little by little over time.

In the past, he might have had the intention of being in the limelight, but that was because he was young in the past. Now, he completely understood that his thoughts at that time were still a little naive.

Besides, if Eli didn't work as much, he would naturally have time to do other things.

Whether it was the advanced potioneering, the undeveloped mental power potion, or the bloodline research that required time to gain in-depth insight, they all needed time.

However, he had been focusing more of his attention on meditation recently.

This was because he was about to break through.

His mental power had already reached 19.0 points, and he was only a few years away from a breakthrough.

…

Three years later.

In Eli's house, Eli sensed that his mental power was at 19.99 points. He took a deep breath. The last time he broke through to a level 2 apprentice was year 311 of the bryne calendar. That was 25 years ago.

Twenty-five years to go from a second-grade to a third-grade. It had to be said that it was actually quite slow, a few years slower than what eli had expected. He had miscalculated the rate at which his mental power was increasing.

As his mental power increased, the speed of his mental power growth slowed down. He knew it would slow down, but he didn't expect it to be so much slower.

In this regard, Eli was also very helpless.

In fact, he was good at learning spells, experiments, and bloodlines. He was talented in these areas, but his mental power was slow to improve.

This made Eli speechless.

Fortunately, his life was long and his life force would not weaken, which was why he did not care so much. Otherwise, a normal Mage would not have so much time to do so many experiments.

As a matter of fact, the apprentice stage was really a stage to build a foundation. The most important thing was to improve one's mental power. After all, this was related to whether one could break through to an official mage and have a longer life to study.

And today, the 53-year-old Eli was finally about to break through to a level 3 apprentice.

Breaking through to a level 3 acolyte was different from a mental power breakthrough. There were two requirements in total.

First was to have 20 points of mental force.

The second was to stabilize the mental force space through runes.

The first step was not much to say, but the second step was the biggest difference between a level 3 apprentice and the previous ones. A stable mental force space would make it easier to build a model, easier to output mental force, and also increase the combat power of a sorcerer-apprentice.

It could be said if a level 3 acolyte was well prepared, even 10 Level 2 acolytes would not be able to do anything to them.

On the other hand, even a true top-notch Grand Knight would no longer pose any threat to him. At this moment, it could be said that he was unimpeded in this place.

In fact, back then, Eli had even thought of excavating the palace after he had broken through to level three, but he felt that it was not very safe. If Saleen metatrin had left behind some powerful traps, it would have been troublesome. Hence, he adopted a simpler but time-consuming method.

Furthermore, Eli had a vague feeling that he would need help in his search for the things that Saleen metatrin was looking for in the future. This was the most important reason.

Eli began to seal the room.

The meditation began.

…

Half an hour later, he felt that his mental energy had increased by 0.01 points. His mental energy had instantly broken through 20 points.

After his mental power reached the required level, Eli's mental power also transformed into runes and started to build a mental space.

This step was usually a little difficult for young and talented mages, mainly because they were not familiar with runes and their power of the will.

However, to Eli, the past few decades had not been wasted. He could not be said to have reached the apex of perfection in this aspect, but he had at least mastered it. Very quickly, his mental force space began to stabilize bit by bit.

this process took a long time.

Half a day later, Eli opened his eyes. Due to the increase in his spiritual energy, his eyes glowed brightly. He had finally succeeded.

Level 3 acolyte, he had done it.

At the same time, Eli heard a soft sound.

He looked over.

The soil in the flower pot not far away had turned a little.

A smile appeared on Eli's face.

The seed had finally sprouted.

93 Grief

What difference did it make for eli to break through to a level 3 apprentice? In fact, there was no difference.

He still did what he was supposed to do.

The power of his spells had increased by at least three times. Whether it was the flow of his mental force or the speed of casting spells, they had all increased by more than two times.

Secondly, his physical body seemed to have improved a little, between that of a grand knight and an advanced knight.

Of course, compared to Knights, mages had many more ways to improve their physical bodies. Be it magic potions with special effects, flesh modification, or even bloodline integration, they were all pretty good.

However, it was a shame that Eli didn't have the ingredients. The Empire was like a mage's wasteland. There were no mages, and there were pitifully few magical beasts. Furthermore, their levels were very low. Eli was not interested in such low-level creatures.

The seed was also slowly growing, which made Eli very happy.

…

However, a year later.

As Eli finished teaching the first princess, he pushed away the teary little princess and left the palace " heartlessly ", but he received bad news.

"Teacher suddenly fell seriously ill." The 53-year-old Herman told him with tears in his eyes.

"What?" Eli's eyes widened.

The last time he visited his teacher was seven days ago. Why did he suddenly fall ill?

"What's going on?" Eli asked anxiously.

"Eli, calm down. Our teacher is already 86 years old." Herman had never seen Eli so agitated before. His face was filled with anxiety as he tried to calm him down.

"I can't calm down. I have to go and take a look immediately." Eli said. If there was a hierarchy for Eli's social circle, Scholar Clement was undoubtedly at the forefront of the first ladder.

To some extent, Clement was like Eli's father.

It was really hard to calm down.

Perhaps hundreds or thousands of years later, he could calmly face death, but now he had only been in this world for 30 years, and he was not in such a calm mental state.

Ignoring Herman, Eli boarded a carriage on the side of the road.

"Take me to…" He told him the address.

"Sir, this is a private coach." The coachman was also stunned by this Eli.

"Start the car!" Eli said and threw the money bag over, not caring how much was left in the bag.

"Sir, I'm sorry." the coachman was about to refuse, but when he saw the money bag falling on the carriage and all the gold tarls rolling out, his eyes widened in shock.

"yes, yes, yes sir." The man's breathing quickened, and he even stuttered.

He immediately turned the carriage around and set off toward the place that Eli had mentioned.

What a joke. Although the carriage had already been booked, was that important? In the face of that bag of money, nothing else was important.

"Hurry up!"

the carriage sped all the way, and the usual twenty-minute journey was completed in ten minutes.

Eli got off the carriage.

In front of them was an apartment area where Clement lived.

He walked straight in. Following the path in his memory, he quickly found his teacher's house.

He took out the key and walked in. This was the key that his teacher had given him. He remembered the exact words at the time, "keep this key. Your teacher doesn't make money, so I have nothing good for you. When I die, I'll leave this to you."

At that time, Clement had even told him the proof of his property and where some of his inheritance was.

He entered the room.

Eli thought there was no one there, but he didn't expect it to be surrounded by people.

His teacher was lying on a bed, showing his old age. His eyes were closed, and his body was not in good condition. Looking at his vitality, it was almost the same as seviro Mesa.

There were two men and two women surrounding his bed.

Eli had never seen them before.

"Who are you? How did you guys get in?" One of the women chided.

"I'm teacher's student. Who are you?" Eli's eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't know if his teacher had any relatives.

"I'm the mother of the husband of Clement's sister's daughter. I heard that Clement was in a bad state, so I came to visit him." The woman explained when she heard that he was Clement's student.

Eli understood. His teacher was dying, and suddenly, all his 'relatives' appeared. So 'touching'!

"Get lost!" Eli's language was simple as well, expressing his meaning.

"Little brother, what do you mean by this?" The man beside him glanced at Eli and said.

"No matter what, we're still your teacher's family." The man scolded.

"Get lost!" As soon as he released his mental power, they broke out into cold sweats.

A few seconds later, as if they had seen something terrifying, they immediately ran out of the room as if they were running for their lives, leaving behind Eli and Clement.

This was a simple application of the bewilderment-type fear spell. Special mental power fluctuations would make the human brain produce specific hormones, causing fear and imagination.

As for what the few of them had seen, Eli had no idea. historical

A few of them left, and Eli silently closed the door.

He returned to the bed and looked at clement.

Suddenly, a series of coughs could be heard.

Clement opened his eyes and looked around. Then he looked at Eli in surprise. "What about those few people?"

"They left," Eli replied.

"Eli, I'm really not going to make it this time. You're really on your own from now on." Looking at Eli, Clement smiled with a pale face.

There were a lot of things to say, but at this moment, even Eli couldn't say anything.

"I know you can take care of yourself. I don't have much money, so you can share it with Herman. Also, help me take care of Herman. He always makes people worry." It seemed like Clement had to use all his strength to say a word.

"Teacher, he's already 53." The corner of Eli's mouth twitched.

"Hmph, in my eyes, you're all still children!" Clement smiled.

Eli nodded.

"Yeah, and don't be so sad. I'm not going to die today." Clement said with difficulty.

"Teacher, you need to save your strength." Eli held clement's hand.

"I'll rest for a while. You can go first. Call Herman over too." Clement closed his eyes. He really had no strength left.

Eli silently put down Clement's hand.

Soon, Herman arrived, and Clement said the same things to him.

…

Three days later.

On this day, Herman and Eli were sitting on the sofa in the teacher's room.

He was silent.

Suddenly, Eli looked up and looked at the bedroom not far away.

Tears flowed down her face.

"Herman, we don't have a teacher anymore!"

His teacher's life force had completely disappeared.

This was the saddest day that Eli had ever experienced since he came to this world.

Year 337 of the bane calendar.

The Imperial Library's Grand scholar Clement died.

Report chapter Comments

94 Departure

It was different from the simple funeral of Seviro Mesa when he died.

When Clement died, many of the Empire's famous big shots came to express their grief. This was also the first day Eli did not conduct any studies or experiments.

On this day, he was busy preparing for the funeral.

As for the expenses this time, they would be paid by the library.

They watched as the gorgeous coffin was sent to the cemetery. Soil dropped on the coffin, and the wooden coffin disappeared in front of everyone. Some people covered their faces and cried, while others treated it calmly. historical

Eli and Herman were standing in the middle.

Eli was silent.

Herman was also sad. He wasn't any better than Eli. Actually, Clement was more worried about him and had even helped him a lot.

On the other hand, it was eli who rarely needed help and was very capable.

This was also why he had asked Eli to help take care of Herman.

"Don't be too sad, Eli." Rias patted Eli's shoulder from the left and consoled him.

On the other side, Hila was also standing quietly. Unlike Rias, her feelings for Eli were more of admiration.

Even further away, Marquis Alex, count Klein, and the others were also watching this scene in silence.

Roland held his wife in his arms, and his daughter stood aside. Although they weren't familiar with Clement, they knew Eli and knew that he was a person who had helped them a lot. Today was the day that Eli's teacher passed away.

Eli took a deep breath and turned to look at the group of people behind him.

He bowed deeply.

Then he left.

Everyone made way for him.

…

Clement's death was a huge change for Eli.

He had become more tenacious.

He felt that he had really grown up. It was as if he had suddenly understood many things from the past. He also understood that he should continue to live well and not let down his teacher's expectations.

Eternal life was just a state. Everything he experienced would be turned into nourishment, allowing Eli to grow gradually.

And growth often came with a price.

…

After Clement's death, the library was also closed for three days to express their condolences.

But at the same time, the king's side finally began to move.

For a time, the authority level of the library was changing rapidly. This place was gradually becoming the king's own territory.

This time, Eli didn't care.

Three months later.

The Vice Directors of the library had been changed. The two nobles were the king's own people, but in order to not look too bad, they still elected a person from the library, and Hila became one of the Vice Directors.

Another three months passed.

The chief election had also begun.

This time, it was a Marquis who had taken up the position of the head of the library.

The library completely belonged to the king, and the original system had changed. The system was more strict, and the ideology was less intense. It was more like a bureaucratic organization than a library.

Eli didn't do anything, and he just maintained his peaceful life.

Another two months passed, and this time, the imperial library allowed eli to return and take on parts of the work. They also gave him a generous salary and welfare benefits, as well as the opportunity to promote him to a scholar.

He refused.

He then resigned from all his duties in the library and became an ordinary learner.

From then on, he didn't belong to any power.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

Eli made a decision. He decided to go out and travel to increase his knowledge, understand more things, and see how the world worked.

He was already a level 3 acolyte.

To him, there was almost nothing there that could pose a threat to him. As long as it was not a first-circle opponent, even if he could not defeat them, he could still escape.

As for the possibility of encountering the creatures of the first circle, the probability is not high. After all, he's only going out to travel, and it's not like he has to go to the deep mountains to look for something.

Furthermore, there was a map left behind by Seviro Mesa. Not only did it record the terrain and dangerous situations of many places in the country, but it also recorded many places abroad. It would be of some help to Eli.

Just like that, in the year 339 of the bryne calendar, the 54-year-old Eli told his friends that he was leaving Jun Lin.

…

A week later.

Somewhere outside the city.

Sitting in the carriage, Eli smiled at the group of people who were there to send him off.

"Be careful on the road!" Rias' eyes were slightly red as she spoke.

She knew she couldn't stop Eli's decision.

"Okay, you take care of yourself too." Eli nodded, and the two of them hugged.

"You're already 54 years old, but you're still running around. Seriously." Hila said unhappily after Rias bid her farewell.

"Take care of yourself." Eli didn't say anything. It was just a simple hug.

She was one of his few female friends.

"Good friend, I hope to see you again!" Alex was almost 60 years old, and his body wasn't as strong as it used to be.

"Take care," he said. Roland simply held onto Eli's hand and handed him a badge.

"This is my badge. Along the way, as long as there is a place with the Rose Chamber of Commerce, you can go in and take whatever you want. If you need anything, you can also ask them to prepare it."

"Alright!" Eli nodded.

The Rose Chamber of Commerce had grown into the number one Chamber of Commerce in Bryne. They had their own chambers, even in the surrounding countries.

"Sir, this is from the Kazan Chamber of Commerce." Zhong Li also handed over a plate and said.

Eli took it as well, looked at the crowd, and turned around to get into the car.

"Teacher!"

At this moment, a clear voice was heard.

"Oh?" Eli turned to look.

A luxurious carriage drove out of the city gate, and the black dragon on the side of the carriage told him that it belonged to the merlin family, the imperial family.

A pretty young girl poked her head out and greeted them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a figure jumped down. It was a young girl of about 13 or 14 years old. She was beautiful, with long black hair, blue eyes, and tender white skin. She was wearing a white dress.

She ran straight towards him and hugged him.

"Teacher, why didn't you tell me that you were leaving?" The girl looked up at Eli.

"Anna!" Eli touched the girl's head.

This was the six-year-old girl from before, and now she was about to mature.

The girl alighted from the carriage, and the other woman, who was also graceful and luxurious, also alighted from the carriage.

"Her Majesty!" Everyone immediately saluted when they saw it.

"Anna wants to see you, so I can only send her here." The Queen said.

She still couldn't understand why Anna liked her teacher so much.

But thankfully, Eli was already 54 years old, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just a strong teacher-student relationship, which was why she brought Anna along.

If Eli was 20 years old, she would definitely kill him.

"Teacher, I brought this for you." Holding onto Eli's waist, Anna seemed to have thought of something and took out a coat of arms from her clothes. "this was given to me by my father. As long as you're still in the Empire, even a Marquis will help you if you take this out!" Anna said as she looked at Eli with her big eyes.

"What?" the queen's eyes also widened. 'This thing is too powerful for a mere learner!'

"Forget it. I'll leave this to little Anna. Her Majesty, I'm leaving." Eli refused with a smile and saluted the Queen. He then patted Anna's head and turned to get into the car.

"Let's go, coachman!" At this moment, the coachman was already in shock. Heavens, just who was this person? So many important people had come to send him off.

However, he did not dare to delay. He slowly started the carriage and headed towards the main road.

"Goodbye, teacher!" It was still Anna's clear voice.

Eli glanced at the waving crowd and drew the curtains.

The next time he returned would be the time to retrieve Saleen Metatrin's legacy.

95 12 Years

Everything went smoothly on the way out. Eli didn't encounter any obstacles either, and he left Jun Lin.

This time, he would probably be out for a long time. He didn't know how many of his old friends would die when he returned.

As for the destination, Eli had no idea.

Wherever he went counted, this was considered traveling!

Just like that, Eli began his wandering mage life.

The coachman was discharged by Eli at a place similar to a transit station. The man got a younger horse, and then Eli drove the carriage away.

Along the way, he spent half of his time on the road and the other half on research and study.

This was a journey, not a vacation. Naturally, he still had to learn, so Eli's journey was very slow. He would often suddenly stop while walking and then find a place to experiment.

He walked and stopped. Of course, he met many people along the way, but Eli never traveled with them. Occasionally, he would encounter wild beasts that passed by, but they would leave as soon as he released a little mental wave.

He had also encountered enemies who blocked his way and robbed him.

He was grateful for the gift of nature.

He had human experiment materials again.

Just like that, Eli walked and stopped for half a year before he arrived in another country next to Jun Lin.

After traveling for a while, they settled down in the capital.

The special local ingredients also surprised Eli. A new place with new specialties made him click his tongue in wonder, and he had a new understanding of potions.

The essence of the potion concoction was the fusion of extraordinary elements.

After staying here for a year, Eli left in his carriage and began his wandering life again.

This kind of life lasted for about ten years.

Eli had already toured the surrounding countries.

He had also been to many places on the map left behind by Seviro Mesa and had collected many materials. He also collected some extraordinary bloodlines. Although they were of a low grade, they were still extraordinary.

His own knowledge had also been further consolidated, and he was much stronger than he was ten years ago.

His strength was the same. His mental force had also reached 22.0, which was slightly stronger than before. The increase was not significant. However, he had some ideas about the potion that could increase mental power.

In the kingdom of Carlos, which was three countries away from Bryne, Eli had found an interesting magical plant that could increase its power by absorbing and drinking blood.

This shocked Eli greatly.

He lived there for three years straight away. This plant called the blood bamboo flowers had become the main content of his research, and it could very well be the foundation for Eli's mental power potion.

In fact, this was only the beginning. Eli felt that there was still room to dig deeper into this plant.

It had great potential.

Eli was a little glad that he had gone out, or he wouldn't have encountered such a precious plant.

Speaking of plants, Eli couldn't help but mention that seed. It had germinated, but it grew extremely slowly. It had been a full ten years, and only a tip had emerged. Eli was also very helpless.

However, its quality was indeed very high so Eli had always carried it with him.

The only regret was that there was still no news of the mage camp. It seemed to be even further away than he thought.

…

A year later.

The kingdom of yise!

In the capital.

With a strange plant in his hand, Clevan ran through the dilapidated slums on both sides and arrived at the civilian area. He looked around and quickly entered a remote shop.

The shop wasn't big, and there were some strange things on both sides. Some commonly used medicine was also sold.

Everyone in the civilian district of the capital knew of this shop. It sold all kinds of strange things for a long time. Most of the items sold here were strange, and only one of them, a medicine for wounds, was popular among mercenaries.

It had even attracted the attention of a noble, and the noble wanted to possess the shop by force, but the next day, the noble disappeared without a trace, and no one dared to have the same thought again.

"Grandpa Eli, Grandpa Eli, I found a strange plant," Clevan shouted.

The back door of the shop opened, and an old man walked out. historical

The old man looked very old. His hair and beard were all white, and he wore a pair of glasses, like Frankenstein.

"It's little Clevan!" Eli smiled and walked over to take the things from his hands. Then, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it's just a very ordinary plant."

"I see!" The boy shook his head in frustration.

Eli knew the boy. He was a kid from the slums, and he had once found a precious item for him.

"I won't let you come here for nothing. How about this? I'm lacking an odd-job worker here. What do you say? " Said Eli with a smile.

"Really?" Clevan's eyes lit up. He just felt that this old man was not ordinary. He had wanted to work here for a long time.

"Of course." Eli smiled.

He estimated that he would stay here for a few more years, and the shops here needed someone to do odd jobs.

Speaking of which, he had come here last year. He suddenly had an idea for his research on magic potions, so he settled down here to do research.

"Is there anything new recently?" Eli asked with a smile.

"Yes, it seems that the neighboring Lorraine Kingdom and the neighboring country are fighting. It seems that King Bryne also participated in the war." The boy revealed a piece of news that Eli was interested in.

"Is the war coming?" Eli smiled, then gestured for the boy to stay for dinner.

It wasn't time for him to go back yet.

The changes in the war were beyond everyone's expectations.

The scope of the war gradually expanded, and the Bryne Empire was at war with another country.

In fact, the size of the two countries was about the same, but due to the various measures taken by Bryne the seventh in the past few years, the National Strength of Bryne had weakened a lot, and it was also a one-sided situation on the battlefield.

A year later.

The war was over.

It was not a victory but a defeat.

The Bryne Empire had to cede a large amount of land to the other party and compensate them with a large amount of money before the war finally ended.

In the same year, Bryne the seventh announced his abdication.

…

"Grandpa Eli, are you really leaving?" Clevan looked at Eli, who was about to leave, with a reluctant expression.

"Yes," Eli smiled and patted the boy's head.

It had been twelve years. It was time to go back.

It was time to retrieve Saleen metatrin's things.

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa Eli, for teaching me how to read." Clevan's face was filled with gratitude.

Over the past year, when he had nothing to do, he had learned how to read from Eli.

"that's the result of your hard work. You don't need to thank me." Eli nodded and then walked up to the carriage at the side.

"Coachman, let's go."

The carriage set off in the direction of the city gate.

Report chapter Comments

He had returned to Junlin once again.

Eli didn't make a big fuss but returned in secret.

The carriage arrived at the city wall that had a hint of history to it. The soldiers guarding it were no longer the ones he was familiar with. After a simple look at his identity, Eli was allowed to enter. historical

After passing through a few streets, Eli returned to his door.

The vines that had once been on the fence were now crawling all over the fence. They were green and lush. Seeing that it was Eli, they made a rustling sound and reached out their vines, trying to get close to him.

Eli smiled.

He didn't take the plant with him. He didn't expect it to still be alive.

He could also faintly feel that the plants were actually emitting magic.

It had actually reached the level of a lower-level zero circle.

"Not bad!" Eli smiled. This little fellow was actually beginning to have some consciousness.

He pushed open the door. There were no plants in the courtyard. What a joke. With such a plant, how could there be weeds? However, he seemed to see many corpses deep in the soil.

Needless to say, they must have wanted to break in and be killed by the vines instead.

It was such a pity.

As he continued forward, the door was covered in a layer of dust. When he opened it, a cloud of dust was raised, but it could not get close to Eli at all. As for the inside of the house, it was the same. With a wave of his hand, the dust was swept away by the wind.

"Nothing has changed!" Eli nodded.

Before he left, he had bought the house. The laboratory and other places were also cleaned up very well, and it seemed that no one had broken in.

"Let's go and see our old friends!" After putting the items away, Eli felt like going to see how many of his friends were still alive.

He was already 66 years old. In this Empire where the average age of the commoners was less than 60 and the average age of the nobles was less than 80, he could be considered slightly older.

He hoped that his friends were still alive.

The next day, Eli visited everyone.

He didn't expect that everyone was still alive. It seemed that Roland was the only one who hadn't been in good health recently, but with the help of Eli's potion, he had recovered.

Rias and Hila were just as beautiful as before, and while the beauty potions that Eli had concocted for the two of them could not prevent their lifespans from decreasing, they could still keep their appearances almost the same.

The few of them reminisced about the past.

Other than Rias and Hila, some of the others even had grandchildren, which was ridiculous.

In fact, Hila had never gotten married. Rias and Eli tried to change her mind, but once they got closer, they never mentioned it again.

In the castle.

"Long time no see!" Rias did not hold back in expressing her longing.

Eli gave her a hug.

According to his initial thoughts, he probably didn't have any plans to have too much contact with women, but as time passed, Eli realized that it was quite impossible.

He was still a human.

He now preferred to let nature take its course. Ensuring his own safety was the first priority, but there was no need to suppress himself.

After Hila and Eli met, they looked at each other. It was just a simple hug, and everything was said without a word.

Alex had already relinquished his title of Marquis, and his son had inherited it.

It was the same for Roland. His body no longer allowed him to work, and his son had inherited the Chamber of Commerce.

Finally, Eli looked around and found that the only one who had died was Aria Kazan. He had died of an illness five years ago, leaving behind a son.

Of course, his son had also inherited the soul imprint and continued to work for Eli. Even until his death, Aria Kazan still hoped that his son would be able to survive until Eli's death.

Poor Aria…

After visiting his old friend, Eli then walked around the entire Junlin.

Many places had changed greatly. For example, the place which used to be a big villa was now a theater. A shop was replaced by a stable, and so on. There were too many changes.

As he passed by the library, he glanced at it.

The library seemed to have been redecorated. It looked luxurious from the outside, and the guards were replaced by the private soldiers of the nobles.

Eli originally wanted to go in and take a look, but when he found out that the price of entering this place now was one silver Tarl, which used to be five copper tarls, he smiled and turned to leave.

The library was no longer the same as before.

After losing seviro Mesa and Clement, this place was meaningless to Eli. He had no intention of returning.

Perhaps it was because he was too familiar with it.

As Eli walked, he came to Liuying alley and moon alley.

This might be the only place that was more prosperous than before. The failure of the upper level made many people vent their frustration here. Eli simply strolled around and left.

Time had changed this place, and it had also changed him.

After half a day, Eli finally understood the various changes in Jun Lin clearly.

But he didn't leave.

Instead, he walked towards the palace.

It was time to harvest the seeds that had been planted.

…

At this moment, in the palace.

Anna sat on the chair, frowning.

At the age of 23, she was slim and elegant. Her long black hair fell down, her blue eyes were like the ocean, and her skin was as white as milk.

At this moment, she was wearing a white dress. With her beautiful face, she was as beautiful as an angel.

This was the first princess of the bryne Empire, known as the Empire's rare beauty that only appeared once every hundred years.

However, at this time, the beauty frowned and then sighed deeply.

"Your Highness." Seeing the princess so depressed, the maid couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is His Majesty really planning to let the second Prince inherit the throne? This is not in line with tradition. Princess, you're also very outstanding."

"Father does have this plan." Anna shook her head and clenched the handle on the side tightly as if she was going to break it. As an Elite Knight, she had the power to do so.

Not only did Bryne the seventh have a poor political achievements, but he was also a misogynist.

It was fine when Anna was the only child, but with the birth of the second and third Prince, everything changed. Bryne the seventh put more energy into his two sons and gave Anna less attention.
