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

97 Anna

"Teacher!" It had been a long time since Anna had heard her teacher's name.

In the outside world, everyone said that although the first princess was beautiful, she seemed to be uninterested in men. However, only Anna knew that she already had someone in her heart.

Her teacher!

Eli.

It was very strange. When she first saw her teacher, she felt an inexplicable attraction to him. Later on, after she was planted with a Soul brand, the attraction became deeper. In fact, it had gone beyond that.

It could be called faith.

In fact, this was also why Mages were so terrifying in the mortal world. With their mental force, they had a high chance of truly controlling a person and making them obey them from the heart.

"Bring him in. No, I'll personally welcome him." After hesitating for a moment, Anna immediately stood up, ignoring the fact that her dress was dragging on the ground, and immediately walked out.

In another waiting room, she saw Eli.

Although Eli looked very old, with his hair and beard all white, Anna still rushed over and hugged him just like that morning twelve years ago.

"Teacher, I missed you so much!"

The corners of Eli's mouth twitched. His bones were almost cracking.

"I also miss little Anna!" After being released, Eli touched Anna's head.

"Okay, you guys go out first." A smile appeared on Anna's face as she turned to the other guards who were still there.

The guards looked at each other and immediately left.

After everyone had left, Anna pulled on Eli's hand and sat down on the sofa at the side. She then told him about the things that had happened during the twelve years he had been gone, and he listened patiently.

From Anna's mouth, Eli also learned more about Bryne.

For example, the reason for the outbreak of the war and the current predicament.

"Teacher, how have you been all these years?" Anna asked, blinking her big eyes.

Eli stroked his beard and then said, "That is a long story…"

As Eli explained, Anna listened.

The relationship between the two of them was not like the master-slave relationship between him and Aria. They were closer. After all, he was Anna's teacher.

However, he still had absolute control over Anna.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Tell me about your situation." The current situation of the inheritance of the throne. After chatting for a while, Eli changed the topic. He had not forgotten his purpose.

Along the way, he felt that the situation was different from what he had expected.

"Teacher, there might have been an accident." Anna pursed her lips, then told him about the current situation.

And that was that she might not be able to inherit the throne.

Eli raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Bryne the seventh to be so unruly.

He was really a disdainful Emperor!

However, Eli did not panic. In fact, when he advanced to a level 3 apprentice, he could turn many things around. He could have infiltrated the palace and dug out the things inside or done other things.

However, back then, Eli's thoughts were very simple. If the things under the main palace couldn't be moved via normal means, he would use the power of the royal family, so he had been waiting.

The main reason was to be absolutely safe.

After all, there was only one copy of Saleen metatrin's legacy, and there could not be any accidents. historical

"Do you have any ideas?" Eli asked.

"Teacher, I know you need me to inherit the throne, but at the moment, there are only three ways. The first is to change my father's will. The second is to kill him. This way, it may be carried out according to the law, and I will be the new queen. The third is to kill my two younger brothers!"

Eli blinked.

Her train of thought was very clear, but it was a little strange.

"However, my father's will can not be changed. He is a stubborn old man. If I really want to kill him, it will be very difficult for me to do it. After all, he is my father." Anna was silent.

"What about your two younger brothers?" Eli asked.

It sounded like she wanted to go for the third option!

"At present, I want to kill them. They are not my mother's children but other women's children. Each of them has a lot of power behind them. Even if my father really died, I may not be able to inherit the throne. So, as long as they die, no one will stand in my way," Anna said.

At this moment, she really did look like a person in power.

Or rather, she would only reveal her true form when there were no outsiders around or in front of Eli.

A truly weak person would never be able to lead a country. Back then, Eli had thought that she was a very interesting little girl.

"How's your preparation going?" Eli asked.

"At present, there are many people who support me, but compared to my two younger brothers, I'm still slightly lacking. This battle may last for a long time. I'm worried that my father may end it early. He has always wanted my two younger brothers to inherit the throne." Anna was a little worried.

If her father had really died, it would have been better. That way, she would have been able to fight with all her might. But now, not only was she facing the powerful support of the two brothers, but she could also be stabbed in the back by the king. She really couldn't do anything.

"I see!"

Eli thought for a moment. It was indeed troublesome.

The main purpose of his return this time around was to retrieve Saleen metatrin's legacy. It was best not to have any accidents happen, and he did not want to cause any more trouble.

Unlike before, he now had enough power to do what he wanted.

Back then, Saleen metatrin had been able to build such a huge country by himself in just a few years, even though he had brought along a student who was a burden.

Now, it was time for him to make a move.

It was a good opportunity to test his strength.

"Leave this matter to me, your teacher. I'll help you." Eli patted Anna's shoulder and said.

"Yes, Thank you, teacher." Anna nodded.

Although she didn't know her teacher's actual identity, she knew that her teacher was definitely not an ordinary person. She absolutely believed in Eli and believed that he could do it.

"Yes, it's getting late. Send me their information and their schedules tomorrow." Eli nodded.

"Teacher, it's already very late. Why don't you stay in the palace? I can stay here too. I want to talk to you more." Anna said shyly.

"No, it's better for you to sleep early." Eli patted Anna's head and left.

The next day.

Eli received Anna's message.

Three days later.

The second Prince was dead.

The Empire was in turmoil and the entire country was shocked.

The second Prince was dead.

This was something that no one had expected.

It was said that this happened when the second Prince had gone into the forest with the others during a hunting trip. When the hunt was over, they realized that the second Prince had not returned.

So, everyone returned to the forest to look for the second Prince. They also dispatched many soldiers and Knights. Finally, they found the dead second Prince in the corner of the forest and the Grand Knight who had been protecting him.

This was definitely a deliberate murder.

After all, the creatures in the hunting forest were placed there by the palace people for the hunt. How could there be a magical beast that could threaten their lives? Even if there was, there was a Grand Knight beside the prince. However, they died silently.

The Empire immediately sent people out to search, but there were no clues at all. historical

The biggest suspects were actually the third Prince and Anna.

After all, the second Prince was dead, and the third Prince was most likely to inherit the throne. As for Princess Anna, there was also a certain possibility, but the degree of suspicion was still less than the third Prince.

However, the inspection team still subconsciously ignored the prince and princess.

After all, any one of them could be the future heir, and it was not a good thing to challenge the future ruler.

At this moment, in Anna's Palace.

When Anna received the news, she was also very surprised.

After expressing her sadness and surprise, she returned to the palace calmly. As for who killed the second Prince, there was no need to say much. She had just passed the information to her teacher, and the second Prince had died. It was hard not to connect the two.

"Teacher is too amazing." Anna returned to the palace in a good mood.

She gently took off her white silk pajamas, then took a bath in the palace.

…

Just as Anna was enjoying herself.

In another Palace.

The third Prince sat on the main seat, drinking wine and laughing.

Below him were all kinds of nobles. Some of them had supported him before, and some of them came to support him after the second Prince's death. They sat on both sides and drank wine.

The third Prince was really happy.

With the death of the second Prince, he was basically Bryne the eighth.

These few days, he would wake up laughing even in his dreams. As for his brother's death, he really didn't feel much. He had long wanted the second Prince to die!

Now, someone had helped him solve it.

"Your Highness, isn't it too ostentatious of us to do this? Besides, the second Prince has just died. If someone wants to harm you, I think it's better to stay in a safe place." Seeing the second Prince's expression, a woman beside him reminded him.

She was sent by the nobles on the Prince's mother's side to protect him, and she was also a Grand Knight.

"Himi, don't worry. Take a look." The third Prince glanced at the woman and asked her to look forward. "Do you see that? There are at least a dozen Grand Knights here and dozens of Knight guards outside. Do you think it will be dangerous here?" The third Prince stretched out his hand and said loudly.

"That's right. Even if a peak Grand Knight were to come here, it would be absolutely impossible to get in front of His Highness." A noble raised his cup and said loudly.

"That's right. With us around, no one can hurt His Highness."

"The second Prince must have been ambushed by a large number of Grand Knights. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died so quickly. There are so many people here. How could anyone dare to come? "

Many nobles discussed and raised their glasses to celebrate.

"That's right, let's drink!" The third Prince smiled.

Indeed, this place was impregnable. Who would dare to come here?

"Come, drink!" The third Prince stood up and raised his glass to the crowd.

Many nobles also stood up and raised their glasses.

"Why do I feel a little sleepy?" Suddenly, one of the nobles spoke.

"Me too," The other noble also shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

A noble not far away fell to the ground.

This was like a signal, and in the next second, everyone in the palace fell. Even the Grand Knight fell to the ground after taking a few steps.

"What is this?" The third Prince's eyes were wide open, and he felt indescribable dizziness. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the Grand Knight who was his personal guard had fallen. The third Prince screamed in his heart, but he also fell straight forward and down the steps.

The sound of flesh hitting stone was heard, and the third Prince rolled into the hall.

The hall that was noisy a second ago fell into silence the next.

Even the outside of the palace was silent.

A few birds flew past, and the silver moonlight shone through the door. A pair of black shoes stepped in the moonlight and walked into the hall.

"This is a special stun potion that I've developed over the years. Even the magic elephant at the late stage of the zero circle I encountered in the Lorraine Kingdom couldn't resist it, let alone a Grand Knight." Eli looked at the Grand Knight, who had fallen to the ground, and smiled.

"Now, where is the third Prince?" Eli did not forget the purpose of his trip. He stepped through the crowd and soon saw the third Prince who had fallen at the bottom of the steps.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a terrible fall." Seeing the third Prince's head covered in blood, Eli sighed and then sent a wind blade over.

There was a deep crack in the ground, and the third Prince's head had been separated from his body.

After making sure that the third Prince was definitely dead, Eli looked around and made sure that no one was awake before walking out of the hall. He looked as relaxed as if he was shopping in a mall.

The next day.

When the guards who were passing by entered the palace, they found that it was full of people who were unconscious. They were scared out of their wits and ran out.

…

On the third day.

The news of the third Prince's death once again shocked the kingdom.

However, this time, there was no search nor any action.

The official news was that the third Prince fell down the steps and died in an accident. Those who knew the inside story did not dare to reveal it, nor did they expose it. As for who did it, everyone had a vague guess, but no one dared to say it.

Another three days passed.

The Empire announced that first princess Anna would inherit the throne.

…

A month later.

Anna became the new queen.

On this day, the entire country celebrated.

People came out from the streets and alleys and gathered on both sides of the road. They cheered as they looked at Anna in the gorgeous carriage. Everyone was looking forward to her bringing New Hope to the country. Bryne had really been in decline for a long time.

From then on, she was the new master of this country. As for the past, no one dared to talk about it, or rather, no one cared.

Only the nobles would care about such things. The people did not care who would inherit the throne. They only knew that the seventh king, who had caused them to live a poor life, had finally become history.

The succession of the king only took three days, but the various matters that followed took a long time. By the time the various matters of the Empire were completed and the nobles expressed their loyalty, a month had already passed.

Everything ended.

Anna also sat firmly on the throne.

"This must be the Great Hall that Seviro Mesa was talking about!"

With the Empire's stability, Eli finally arrived at the palace of Bryne Palace.

And it had been almost 20 years since seviro Mesa had told Eli about this place.

"Yes, teacher, are you sure it's here?" Anna asked curiously.

!!

At this time, there were only two of them in the hall. The others had long since been dispersed.

Eli turned his head to look at Anna. Today, Anna was dressed in a gorgeous red dress, her dress dragging on the ground. There were only simple gems on her head, but she was still dazzling, like a phoenix.

This was the new queen of the bryne Empire, bryne the eighth-Queen Anna.

However, unlike the domineering Queen that this Queen, who had been in power for two months, had displayed to the public, she was like a little girl as she followed behind Eli.

"Yes, something is indeed not quite right." Eli nodded.

He stepped lightly on the ground ,and his mental power seeped into the ground. He could feel an obvious resistance at a depth of five or six meters. There was definitely something at that depth.

"Go to the side!" He waved his hand to get Anna to move aside.

Anna obediently walked away.

On the other hand, a gust of wind element slowly appeared in Eli's hand and quickly condensed, turning into a rope-like wind pillar. In the next second, the wind pillar lashed out like a whip.

An ear-piercing sound of friction rang out, and on the ground, a large piece of rock was instantly split open.

Just like that, Eli used the wind blade to directly cut apart a piece of the surface rock in the palace, revealing the bottom part. The original form of this spell was actually a wind wall shield, which had long been modified by him into a completely different form.

As the surface of the rock was cut open, the bottom was indeed different. It was a large piece of rock and soil. At this point, the wind blade was not suitable.

Spell-Earth Control.

He activated his mental force to construct a spell model. The ground slowly parted to the sides, and a hole appeared.

Through the hole, Eli looked down, and there really did seem to be a huge space below.

"I found it." Eli could feel the faint magic fluctuations within and smile. historical

"Is this teacher's power?" Not far away, Anna's eyes widened as she watched this scene.

What happened just now was too much of an impact on her. She had seen Grand Knights swing out wind blades before, but only the top Grand Knights could do that. But what about Eli? he actually turned the wind into a whip and used it to cut.

So powerful.

She felt that even the wind blade would have torn a Grand Knight apart.

"Hmm, where's the person I asked you to find?" At this moment, Eli suddenly asked Anna who was beside him.

There seemed to be a large karst cave below. The space was huge, and Eli's mental power could only see so far.

"Yes." Anna immediately knocked on the door on the side. Soon, the door opened, and a bound Knight pushed in.

The situation inside was unknown, and it contained the legacy of a first-circle wizard. Eli didn't dare to go in himself, so he asked someone to help him take a look first.

"Your Majesty!" The criminal was also confused. He was supposed to die today, but he was suddenly brought out and told that he might be needed to do something.

If he was needed, he might be able to live, but if he was not needed, then he would die.

Hence, he had been waiting anxiously. Then, he was told that he was needed. The man was ecstatic and was taken away.

However, when he arrived at the hall and saw everything in front of him, as well as the old man not far from the Queen, the prisoner was a little dumbfounded and did not understand what was going on.

"Investigate the situation down there. If you can come out alive, I won't kill you." Anna didn't care about the man's state and said to him directly.

"Alright!" Although the Knight was dumbfounded, he knew that this was his only chance.

Soon, after tying the rope to the Knight, the man jumped into the hole.

It seemed to be very deep down, and the rope descended more than twenty meters before the Knight landed.

Eli waited calmly while Anna pulled on the rope beside him.

For the first twenty minutes of the probe, the rope just kept extending and then stopped moving. Eli even thought that something had happened to the man, but a few minutes later, the rope below suddenly moved, indicating that it could be pulled up.

"Are you done with your investigation?" Eli's eyes lit up. Beside him, Anna, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, slowly pulled the rope.

Soon, the man was pulled up by Anna.

After getting on, the man panted heavily.

"How is it? What's the situation down there!" Anna looked at the Knight and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a naturally formed cave below. There are no living creatures, but there is a small lake formed by water droplets. There is also a cave on the side of the rock wall. I went in and found a few boxes and a dead body on the side." The Knight panted. Although he was curious why the Queen was pulling the rope and not the old man, he still explained what happened next.

On the other hand, Eli observed that the man's spirit was not fluctuating. It was stable, and it seemed like he was not lying.

There really wasn't any danger down there. It was indeed safe, so Eli prepared to go down too.

However, considering other issues, Eli still asked a few questions. After confirming that there was indeed no danger, he nodded at Anna and prepared to head down.

However, he had only taken a few steps before he stopped.

Why would he go down personally? Couldn't he just ask the knight to take out the item? Who knew if there were any traps on the corpses? it was better to let the brave knights take responsibility.

"You know that what happened today can not be revealed, right?" Eli turned his head and said to the Knight.

"I understand!" The Knight quickly nodded, but he also understood to a large extent that he might have seen something important. After all, this was the palace Hall. He was a little worried that the Queen would not really let him go.

"Do you really think we'll let you live?" Eli asked again.

The Knight broke out in a cold sweat.

"How about this, I'll give you a chance, a chance to become my slave, and I'll let you live. Are you willing?" Eli said calmly.

The Knight was a little confused and looked at the Queen.

"If you agree, no one here will hurt you," Anna said with a nod.

Knight received the promise and nodded solemnly.

"I'm willing to."

Half an hour later, the Knight who had his soul branded went down to the karst cave again.

…

Half a day later.

In the main hall.

Looking at the three boxes in front of him and the corpse in a wizard's robe, Eli smiled in joy.

This was especially so when the Knight took out the wizard robe and the crystal ball from the skeleton's pocket and handed it to Eli. Eli established a connection and sensed the contents inside the pocket of the robe. The first thing he saw was Saleen metatrin's wizard diary, and he could not help but smile.

He found it.

He had really found it.

Furthermore, Saleen metatrin's body was actually here. It was no wonder that the head of the library did not find Saleen metatrin's body in the tomb.

Looking at the crystal ball, Eli could not hold it in any longer and sent his consciousness into it. He wanted to see what Saleen metatrin was looking for.

Let me take a look!

New calendar.

First Era, year 3010

"I've come to the shadow lizard bloodline Warlock's territory. The environment here is not bad, and there are many interesting materials.

"I've fused with the bloodline of a shadow magic beast, so those warlocks can't see any difference at all. They only think that I'm the same kind as them. On the surface, I get along well with them, but in my heart, I look down on these warlocks who have completely lost their will to explore the truth.

"They're no longer worthy of being called Mages."

The first page of the journal seemed to be about Saleen metatrin coming to a new place.

But what did he mean?

Warlocks should only be a type of Mages, so why would Saleen say that they had lost their will to explore the truth?

It was a little strange, and Eli didn't quite understand.

Eli continued to read.

"Oh, I heard that there were a small mage's ruins nearby. It might be the ruins of the Academy here. Maybe I can find something good there.

"Alright, that place is completely abandoned and has been searched. There's nothing of value. I'm disappointed.

"I heard that there's a small mage organization here today. I'm so surprised that there's a mage organization here. I want to find them. I need more knowledge.

"I secretly participated in their exchange meeting. It's really great. This feeling of knowledge clashing!"

Between the lines, Eli could also feel the changes in Saleen's mind.

First, he explored the ruins, and then he found a Mage organization and participated in an exchange meeting.

Everything seemed normal, but it didn't make any sense.

Why was he so happy to find out that there was a small mage organization? But didn't he just join a shadow warlock's group? Were mages and warlocks different?

"It's so strange!" Eli frowned.

The diary had stunned him from the start. This was also the reason why he had no understanding of the Mage's World at all. How should he put it? The world seemed to be a little different from what Eli had imagined.

Curious, Eli continued to read.

What happened next was mostly about what happened in the warlock's territory, including some temporary camps, explorations, research, and so on.

Everything seemed normal, but why did Eli feel a faint sense of caution?

It seemed that Saleen was afraid of being exposed, so he had always appeared as a Warlock by infusing his life force with a shadow bloodline. However, something happened later.

"Year 3015 of the first era. Damn it, with the increase in my mental power, and my lifespan is flowing away faster. Damn it. I have to think of something.

"Alright, I had no other choice. Perhaps I should have chosen the path of a Warlock from the start. Although I chose to advance to a Mage and then fuse with a Warlock's bloodline, which was indeed stronger, I also lost many things that warlocks could have. It's a pity that I didn't understand the drawbacks of a Mage at that time. No. It's not the drawbacks of being a mage but the drawbacks of this world.

"If I don't want to die, I don't have much of a choice. I can either walk the dark path and continue advancing until I break through to the second ring. At that time, my life force will increase once more, or I can choose some other method."

Will the increase in mental power increase the loss of life force?

Up to this point, Eli deeply understood that something was definitely wrong.

Why would the increase in mental power consume vitality at a faster rate? It was simply ridiculous.

This didn't follow any rules at all!

"Something's not right. There must be some common knowledge that I don't know." Eli knew that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Saleen Metatrin did not write down the reason for this in his log.

Eli took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.

Since there wasn't anything, he would have to analyze it himself.

Saleen's log mentioned the advancement to a Warlock and the integration of bloodlines after the advancement.

Through his previous studies, Eli also knew the difference between the two.

The former was to integrate the bloodline directly when advancing to the first circle. After that, the main focus would be to explore the bloodline talent spell. Most of the time, this talent would force the mage to give up other aspects, especially the elemental ones. After all, the bloodline would directly affect the mage's connection to the elements.

However, there were also benefits. This would allow him to completely inherit the power of his bloodline, and his lifespan would also be greatly increased, far exceeding that of ordinary mages.

The second method was to use the bloodline as a tool. It would not be too different from the first method. However, the mages wouldn't have any bloodline warlock talent, and their lifespan wouldn't increase.

The former was like a heretic among mages, relying on the power of blood and not having a strong desire for knowledge, while the latter was digging for knowledge.

There was a saying that described it this way.

The power of a Warlock came from their bloodline, while the power of a wizard came from knowledge.

However, the Warlocks in the log seemed to be even more extreme. Saleen criticized them as having completely lost the will to explore the truth, which was very strange.

Saleen also mentioned a fault with the world.

Eli had a faint feeling that something might have gone wrong with this world.

"Is there a problem with this world?" Eli was also taken aback by his own idea. After all, it was too whimsical and even outrageous.

"I don't think so. No, it's fine." Eli's thoughts were a mess.

In fact, he just realized that he knew nothing about this world.

His exploration of this world was still limited to the Bryne Empire and other mortal worlds. However, what about the mage's world? Or did it even exist?

This was an unknown.

"Forget it. Let's continue reading." He knew there was a problem, but he wouldn't solve anything, so he decided to continue reading.

"I participated in the blood sacrifice of the warlocks. They seemed to want to exchange life force with an unknown existence through this method. I'm against this idea because true mages should be the ones who pursue the truth.

"But I still agreed in the end.

"The blood sacrifice has begun. Damn it. We've been discovered.

"The warlocks discovered our 'evil' conduct, and we were hunted down. Fortunately, I managed to escape. historical

"This group of warlocks seemed to be troubled by the loss of life force, so they used blood sacrifice."

At this moment, Eli didn't want to think too much. He decided to wait until he finished watching.

"I've escaped,

"I reached zero circle too late back then, and my life force was indeed not enough.

"but I found a secret plane of the four circles celestial sorcerer Antonio from 5000 years ago. The location is in the West, a place called the southern desert. There are no sorcerers willing to go to that place for a long time. It's a barren land.

"These are the mages who remained after the great catastrophe. I heard that the secret celestial plane could also slow down the speed of the loss of life, and there may be some celestial mage's remains inside. It is said that there is a life-prolonging spirit grass there as well. I have decided to go."

101 The Loot

The log was basically coming to an end.

On the other hand, Eli was a little numb! historical

The main thing was that he clearly knew every word in this diary, but he didn't know how to put them together. He knew what a secret realm was, but what was the great catastrophe?

What about the new calendar? Was there an old calendar?

'Well. At least I know what Saleen Metatrin was looking for somewhat." Eli was helpless, but at least he knew what Saleen metatrin's goal was.

A celestial realm with four circles.

Celestials were also known as Lords of the world. Even in the mage's world, they were powerful. Such a secret plane was indeed enough for Saleen metatrin to pursue.

Then, he read the rest of the log.

It recorded how he came to this land, including the fact that he took in a student as a tool and the story of how he built the Empire to search for ruins but couldn't find them until his death.

"I'm sure they're in the area around Bryne. Maybe I'm wrong. It seems to be among the surrounding countries, so at least that's a start."

In the end, Saleen metatrin gave him an area which had Bryne as the center and more than a dozen countries surrounding it.

If Saleen metatrin had been able to confirm it from the start, he might have found it. Eli shook his head. It was obvious that since Saleen metatrin was still buried in Bryne, he had not found the things he was looking for.

After reading the log, Eli continued to look at other things.

Other than some experimental data and some knowledge, in the end, Eli actually found something interesting.

Saleen's last words.

"Friend, I'm sorry. If you see this letter, I've failed.

"It was really sad.

"I became an apprentice when I was 22 years old and an official mage when I was 40 years old. However, when I advanced, I realized that this was a life of despair. It was too desperate. As a mage's power increased, their life force would be consumed at a faster rate. This is the mage's curse!

"Since you're reading this, you must have obtained the legacy I left in the Empire, right? Haha, I forgot to tell you that the book won't kill anyone. Only those who don't have the talent to become a mage will die from the impact of the power.

"I've left everything that I had. These are all my precious treasures, and I hope you can treat them well.

"Mages are very united. Poor child, I'm sorry. If possible, you'd better walk the path of a pure Warlock.

"Mages are no longer suitable for this world."

Saleen metatrin.

Even between the lines, Saleen's sorrow could be felt. Eli sighed.

It seemed that there was really a problem with this world.

As a mage's strength increased, its life force would also be consumed at a faster rate.

The reason why Saleen had advised Eli to walk the path of a Warlock was probably for the longer lifespan of a Warlock.

"What really happened?" Eli shook his head. This world had definitely experienced something, and it was very likely a great calamity.

Perhaps there would be clues in the secret celestial realm.

Was he really going to give up on the path of a mage?

Elie blinked. He was already a level 3 acolyte, and it was indeed time for him to consider advancing to a Mage. Should he walk the path of a bloodline Warlock or a Mage?

"I'm a Mage!" In the end, Eli said calmly.

It was just the consumption of life force. If it was someone else, they might care, but would Eli care? He was immortal, so he didn't lack life force.

There was no doubt that mages were stronger than warlocks, so why did he choose a weak profession? He had to be stronger to better protect himself.

And there was one more important point.

Although he was a slacker, he was also very determined in his pursuit of knowledge.

Of course, these were only Eli's thoughts. He would have to wait slowly for the rest.

Eli's consciousness slowly withdrew from the crystal ball.

At this moment, Anna and the Knight were huddling to the side as though they did not dare to disturb Eli.

Seeing that Eli had woken up, Anna heaved a long sigh of relief. She walked over and asked, "Teacher, is this what you're looking for?"

"Yes," Eli nodded and then looked at the few boxes on the ground.

"Teacher, I'll get someone to send you home," Anna said again.

"Alright," he said. He replied and then looked at the hole behind him. "Seal this place for now. I might go in to take a look in the future."

"Alright!"

…

Saleen's diary had a huge impact on Eli. However, he could not be bothered with it for now and returned home.

Not long after he returned, three boxes were sent back.

Looking at the three boxes, Eli didn't open them. Instead, after placing them down, he went straight to bed. He needed to rest.

The next day.

Eli woke up.

He called for the Knight, who was already his slave, to open the boxes, and the items in the three boxes were instantly displayed in front of him.

The first two boxes were filled with all sorts of books, as well as all sorts of notes that Saleen had written in the past, as well as experiment logs. The third box contained a wizard robe, a magic staff, and a ring.

Soon, Eli also knew the function of the three items.

The wizard's robe was a top-notch zero-circle sorcery tool. Whether it was physical defense or Magic Defense, it was top-notch. After charging, it could release a shield that could resist the first-circle spell every day.

Eli really liked this wizard robe. At his current stage, it was a life-saving artifact!

The staff was also a zero-circle magic tool, much stronger than Eli's. It could directly unleash 150% of a zero-circle spell's power and was a small treasure for mages at the apprentice stage.

"However, Saleen doesn't seem to be very generous!" Eli pouted. He was already a first-circle wizard, but these were all zero-circle items.

The last item was indeed a one-circle item called the Thunder Python Ring.

The ring allowed the wearer to control two lightning pythons to bombard their enemies. The two pythons are combined to become stronger. The only pity was that it could only be used by a first-circle mage. Eli could only take a look now.

"But it's already very good." Eli looked at these and revealed a satisfied smile.

The wizard weapons were secondary. The main things were the two boxes of books and notes that Saleen had left behind. Those were the truly precious things. With those, Eli would be able to make up for the knowledge he had lost.

There were also some first-circle spell models among them.

As long as he had enough mental power, he would be able to break through and become a real mage.

As for what he would do after that, that would be a matter for later.

There was also the celestial ruin. That was also another matter, so there was no rush.

Eli decided to put the matter of the ruins aside for now. After all, the scope was a little too big, and if he were to search for it himself, it might take a little longer.

Of course, he didn't intend to search for it himself. After all, even seviro Mesa, who had spent more than 20 years alone, had only searched four to five countries around it and found nothing. However, this time, it was an even larger area with dozens of countries.

Of course, Eli had the time, but he wasn't that free.

Since he had gained control of the Empire through Anna, why did he have to search for it himself? In fact, this was also an idea that Saleen metatrin had given him. Otherwise, Eli's eyes would not have lit up when he realized the princess was recruiting a teacher back then.

!!

Eli's strength was enough for him to ensure his own safety in the Kingdom, but he would leave the search to the people from the Bryne Kingdom.

It might take a long time too, but at least it would be much faster than Eli himself.

Eli prepared to settle down in Junlin once again.

The purpose of his permanent residence was to study the experiences he had over the past decade, the things he wanted to learn, and the things left behind by Saleen metatrin. This might be even more important in the long run.

He also needed to prepare for the advancement to an official Mage.

After he broke through to an official Mage, whether he would go to the real Mage's world or stay here was another matter. He would think about it when the time came.

…

Three months later.

A small Manor outside Junlin city was renamed Leighton Manor, which attracted the attention of many people.

Because this Manor was not simple. Although it was not big, it belonged to the royal family. There was a small forest near the manor, and every year the royal family would gather some nobles to hunt there.

However, this year, not only did the manor change its name, but it would no longer take on the responsibility of hunting. Instead, it was given to a scholar named Eli by the Queen. This made many curious about Eli's background.

But after investigation, Eli's background was unbelievably simple. The only thing that made them suspicious was that he might have been Queen Anna's teacher, which made many nobles sigh at the Queen's emotional attachment.

…

"After testing, this should be the place with the highest concentration of elements in the vicinity."

In Leighton Manor, Eli looked at the large Manor in front of him and smiled.

This time, not only did he need to cultivate plants and some magical beasts, but he also needed to conduct bloodline experiments. In that case, he could naturally abandon the original house. Moreover, the valley was a little far, so he wanted to move to a location closer to the valley.

After some observation, this place should be the place with the highest concentration of elements, so he asked Anna to give him this Manor.

The first half of his plan was to rear some magic beasts for the convenience of bloodline experiments. The second half was to plant magic plants and build his own laboratory where he would complete his plans.

As for the staff here, he was prepared to use slaves with soul imprints for the experiments that really involved magic. This way, he could ensure that his matters would not be leaked.

His return to Jun Lin was a direct change for Eli.

The increase in his strength had made him fearless. Moreover, he had control over the Queen of the bane Empire. It would be a joke if he were still living the life he had in the past. Now that he had developed well, it was naturally time to reap the fruits of his labor.

As for the ruins, Anna had arranged for many people to search for them. As for when they would be found, that was another matter.

"After traveling for twelve years, it's time to settle down again!" Eli pursed her lips and returned to the house.

…

A month later.

At the back of the manor.

A cool breeze blew past, and Eli walked out from behind the tree, his gaze looking toward the magic herb field in front of him.

In the five to six mu area in front of him, Eli had already planted all kinds of magical plants. Some of them could be found by the kingdom while others could only be found during his long journey.

These were things that were convenient for Eli to study and grow, and the most important of them was a small area at the southernmost part of the magic plant field. There were blood bamboo flowers planted there, which were the precious plants that Eli had found at Yise.

"It's really a strange plant!" Eli walked to the area.

In an area of a few square meters, there were three strange plants. They were arranged like sections of bamboo, but they were much smaller than bamboo. They were all blood-red in color. What was even more strange was that at the top of the bamboo, there was a white flower with seven or eight translucent tentacles swaying in the stamen.

This was the blood bamboo flower, the greatest reward that Eli had obtained during his journey.

Don't look down on this plant. Eli saw it drain all the life force of a Buffalo in just a few seconds. It was a blood-sucking demon.

What was more interesting was that after absorbing the blood, their energy level would also increase slightly, and there were faint fluctuations of spiritual power.

Eli saw the potential it had.

At this moment, the three plants seemed to be hungry. Their tentacles were swaying, and the flowers were emitting an alluring smell, attracting nearby creatures.

Eli ignored this and just watched the fragrance spread.

Soon, a rat ran out of the forest in the distance and came to the vicinity of the blood bamboo flower. In an instant, a few tentacles shot out and pierced through the rat. The rat did not even have time to react before it died.

The tentacle that entered the rat's body did not stay idle. It instantly turned red, and the bright red blood flowed along the tentacle to the petals. The petals also turned red.

"It's almost time!" Eli took a look and immediately plucked the flower. At this moment, there was concentrated spiritual energy in the petals, which was exactly what Eli needed.

With the flower in hand, Eli quickly returned to the laboratory and began a new round of experiments.

…

Time always flew by in an experiment.

Three years later.

In the laboratory.

Eli carefully dripped a drop of blood-red Medicine onto a piece of cultivated human tissue cell.

It only lasted for a moment.

The cells in the human body began to shrivel and lose a large amount of life force. At the same time, they began to rupture. However, as the cells ruptured, traces of spiritual power also appeared. historical

"I failed." Eli frowned. He had already forgotten how many times his experiments had failed. However, he was very close to success this time.

After all, it was just a small problem of cell rupture. He believed that as long as this was resolved, the new potion should not be a problem. Furthermore, what Eli was curious about was the biological theory behind the plant. This was also his research subject, but it was just starting.

"yes, it's almost done. This plant is indeed worth digging into. And the blood of magical beasts. Maybe I should try a new experiment."

Putting down the potion, Eli stretched his body.

Potions were only one of his many experiments, and there was progress in other experiments.

"We'll take it slow." After stretching his body, Eli continued his experiment.

The stuff left behind by Saleen metatrin would rapidly improve his knowledge and skills. He could not bear to waste a single second, nor was he in the mood to care about other things.

Regardless of the ups and downs of the outside world, he just stayed in his laboratory. He would let Anna deal with everything outside.

103 Khorium 2

The research on the blood bamboo flower was still relatively smooth. The main part was the flower and some parts of the tissue. However, the blood experiment was different.

Although there were also animal experiments, with Anna becoming queen, living human bodies were no longer a big problem for Eli. As a huge Empire, there were all kinds of people who had to die every day, and Eli kindly accepted these people.

Organ transplant, blood transplant, human tissue observation, organ demonization, flesh, and blood modification

Bloodline was also a path that contained a lot of knowledge, and to Eli, it was also very attractive to him.

!!

And because of the questions he had about bloodline warlocks, Eli also put a portion of his energy into researching bloodlines and transplanting bloodlines.

"Are you ready?"

In the laboratory, Eli looked at the person who was tied to the cross.

It was said that he was a criminal who had killed more than ten people and had been hiding for five months before he was caught. He was only caught because he couldn't help but go to Liuyang Lane. It was really outrageous.

But at this moment, this evil criminal watched in horror as Eli approached as if he had seen a demon.

Heavens!

Half an hour ago, there had been another person beside him, but this man had injected a tube of mysterious blood into his body, and the spell formation under his feet had flickered, causing the man to explode.

That's right, it was a physical explosion, and the man was scared silly.

What kind of place had he been sent to? He would rather die right now than suffer this mental torture here.

"Relax!" Eli slowly approached and smiled.

The man became more and more terrified.

"Ah!"

The next second, a terrifying sound came from the laboratory.

On the other hand, Eli was frowning, watching helplessly as the experimental blood fused into his body, and his body tissues began to melt bit by bit. Even the spell formation on the ground could not stop it.

"It shouldn't be!" Eli frowned.

This time, the bloodline of a Night Gray wolf was integrated into the young man in front of him. It seemed that even this level of the bloodline was not something the criminal could bear.

What a pity.

He failed again.

Half an hour later, looking at the man's mangled body, Eli cleaned him up and began a new experiment.

…

Spring left, and winter came.

When one was extremely focused, one would enter a magical state. In this state, one's learning ability and memory would increase greatly, and one would not notice the passage of time.

Eli had been in this state for a long time.

He even lived in the laboratory and had a bed next door.

When Eli came out of that state, he heard the bad news.

…

Marquis Alex was dead.

When Eli stood at Alex's funeral, he had just completed an experiment. He had just made a breakthrough in the experiment, and he was suddenly notified, so he was caught off guard.

Alex was probably the same age as Eli, and he was the first person to die from Eli's generation, which made him feel rather emotional.

After attending the funeral, Eli met with his son and left.

The current him was already much stronger than before.

…

It was another year.

There was not much progress in the bloodline experiment.

Eli's research on the blood bamboo flower had reached a new stage.

He analyzed the petals of the blood bamboo flower in depth and found that only the end of the petals had an effect. There was a strange tissue there that could transform the absorbed vitality into other forces.

The blood bamboo flower experiment had entered its second stage.

The current drug would only destroy about half of the cell tissue, but it could still improve spiritual power.

This was a huge improvement.

But he didn't know what was going on. It seemed like something else would happen every time there was progress.

This time, it was Herman who was visited by Death.

In the ward, Herman held onto Eli's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Junior, I'll be going first this time."

After saying this, he passed away.

Eli closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he left the ward.

Herman was one of his closest friends. Even though he was his senior brother, they had worked together in a harmonious environment for almost thirty years, and their relationship was much stronger than Alex's.

Herman's sons and daughters had their own families, so he didn't need help.

At the door, Eli saw his family.

"Grandpa Eli, father told me to give this to you." His daughter handed him something. It was a fountain pen that seemed to have been given to him by his teacher.

Eli was stunned for a few seconds before he took the pen.

"If you need any help, you can come to me," Eli said to Herman's son and left.

…

Another year had passed.

This year, there wasn't much progress in Eli's experiment, but the bad news didn't care about that. They were always rough and cruel.

In the ward, Eli sat by the bed and looked at the haggard Hila.

Because of the magic potion, she was still as beautiful as before, but now, she couldn't help but look a little haggard. There was light eyeshadow at the corner of her eyes, and there was a sense of beauty that was broken.

"Eli, do you know what I regret the most in my life? " Hila asked weakly.

She wasn't married, and she didn't have any children. At her deathbed, only Eli came to see her.

Eli didn't answer, he just kept silent. historical

"In this life, my greatest regret is attending the party when scholar Clement took over the library decades ago. If it weren't for that, perhaps this misunderstanding would have continued, and we would have encountered a different matter." Seeing that Eli didn't say anything, Hila smiled.

"you're a person who's far superior to ordinary people in all aspects. Knowing you is too cruel to ordinary people." Hila was still talking to herself.

"Can you give me a hug?" Hila then requested.

This time, Eli nodded and gave Hila a hug.

When the hug was over, he realized that Hila, who had been talking a moment ago, had already closed her eyes.

This time, Eli let out a long sigh again.

It was really f*cked up!

Why did he have to know so many people?

Hila actually had a very complicated relationship with him. They could be said to be close friends, but it was also more than that.

Hila's funeral was personally arranged by Eli, and he waited until everything was over.

Eli returned to the laboratory and plunged into work again.

…

A year later.

Eli gave the new criminal in front of him a bottle of potion, and he poured it down his throat.

Soon, the man changed. His muscle tissue rapidly atrophied, and his black hair quickly turned white. However, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He collected some of the man's cells and observed them. All the cells were intact, but their vitality had been completely drained.

"I've finally succeeded, khorium II." Seeing such an outcome, a smile appeared on Elie's face.

Nine years.

He had finally succeeded.

But looking at the successful potion, Eli had a bad feeling.

Report chapter Comments

However, nothing seemed to have happened this time.

After a few more human experiments, and after he confirmed that the medicine was effective …

The next day. historical

In the laboratory.

Eli first recorded his mental power at 23.0. It was only a one-point increase since his return to Jun Lin. The main thing was that Eli was increasingly aware of the problem with his own qualifications. His talent was really very ordinary, and he had an inexplicable feeling that the concentration of the elements around him seemed to be ordinary too.

Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that Eli didn't spend all his time on meditation. After all, no apprentice would spend most of their time on experiments and learning. Most of them would only do a small number of experiments and focus their energy on meditation.

On the other hand, Eli was the exact opposite. He could only be said to be a freak among the mages.

However, it was still alright. The main thing was that he had a lot of time, so he was not in a hurry.

After some simple preparations, Eli took out the khorium 2 that he had concocted, which could also be called the blood bamboo flower potion.

Looking at the bright red potion vibrating in the potion bottle, the traces of blood turned into tentacles, swaying wantonly as if trying to grab something, Eli opened the potion and directly consumed this strange potion.

As the potion entered his body, Eli's entire body trembled.

The blood-colored potion was like a tentacle, grabbing the outside of Eli's cells. Eli could feel his life force flowing away directly, but at the same time, traces of mental power slowly appeared and gathered in his brain.

Eli could feel that his spiritual power was indeed improving.

Although the effect of this potion was a little strange, the effect was still good.

However, he was the only one who could use it. If others used it, they would probably lose more than half of their vitality instead of improving their mental power. It was not worth it, especially in this world where there seemed to be not enough vitality.

In the end, the blood-red Tentacle slowly disappeared, and the potion was used up.

After it ended, Eli's spiritual power was 23.5.

With a 0.5 increase at once, it seemed that the potion was quite powerful. Of course, this was not taking into account the cost of losing 20 years of life for an ordinary wizard.

The price and reward were not proportional at all. Fortunately, what Eli was doing was a business without capital.

"It's really evil!" Even now, Eli still found the blood bamboo flower strange. This plant was so f*cking ridiculous.

Shaking his head, Eli digested his newly improved mental power and felt a little happy.

It seemed that nothing bad had happened this time!

Half a month later, just as Eli had digested the effects of the potion and was about to brew the next bottle, a servant arrived and brought bad news to him.

Countess Gimori's condition had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. She was going to die soon.

Ka!

The reagent bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and Eli closed his eyes. After a long silence, he said, "Take me to her."

Damn it. It was exactly as he had predicted.

At a certain period of time, he might encounter a large wave of people dying, and it seemed to be around this time.

At this moment, Eli was already 75 years old, and his friend was already at the point of death.

Sitting in the carriage that was heading towards the territory of the Gimori family, Eli closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. His feelings were complicated and melancholic.

Unlike Alex's friendship, Herman's brotherly relationship, and Hila's mutual admiration, Rias was undoubtedly very special.

Although the two of them had once been alone under the moon, they had not been together.

But even Eli had to admit that Rias had feelings for him.

"Forget it," he said. With a sigh, Eli decided not to think about this and decided to talk about it when they met.

The carriage quickly brought him to his destination.

Eli walked in quickly, and the guards at the door did not stop him. The guards all knew that Eli was the only outsider the countess allowed to enter and leave the family's residence as he pleased.

In one of the rooms, Eli saw Rias Dimori, but it didn't seem to be the same as what the servant had said.

Eli looked at the smiling Rias and did a quick check, and realized that it wasn't wrong. There wasn't much life left in Rias' body, and she could only live for another three months at most, but it was she was not dying immediately.

"You're sick?" Eli asked.

"of course not. Otherwise, how would I have pulled you out of the laboratory? but I'm really not in good health, so I wanted to see you." Rias was only a few years younger than Eli, but due to the potions, her appearance did not change much, looking like she was in her twenties or thirties.

"I don't have much time left. Can you accompany me for the rest of my life?" Rias asked, looking at Eli.

"Alright!" This time, Eli didn't refuse.

The next three months would be interesting for Eli.

He had never rested for such a long time before. There were no experiments or bloodline cultivation every day. He only read sorcery books and accompanied Rias.

Their interactions were also very normal, talking about past memories and happy things. Rias would always laugh out loud.

The two of them toured many places in Jun Lin and went to other places as well. Rias was as happy as a young girl while Eli watched from the side.

This was all very common, but Rias was already very satisfied. It was also in this environment that Eli gained new insights.

That was why, until the end, when he saw Rias close her eyes on the bed, Eli was rather calm.

"It's over!" Looking at her life force disappearing as well, Eli turned and left.

Unlike his teacher's death, this time, the successive deaths had changed his mentality even more violently.

In the past, he still had more fantasies about the things of the secular world, but now, he decided to shift more energy to the pursuit of truth.

The lives of ordinary people were limited. Even high-level creatures had their own time limits, but truth and knowledge were endless.

From today on, he would become a pursuer of the truth.

Of course, this didn't mean that he would shed emotions and desires. That was impossible. This was just a change in attitude.

That was all.

…

Rias's death triggered a new round of dukedom competition because Rias had no descendants. Only her brother had left behind two descendants. However, many branch families also wanted to inherit the dukedom of the nobles because they had equal rights.

The fight lasted for a long time.

However, just as one of the branch family members was happily preparing to inherit the title, the Queen suddenly gave the order to make the son of Rias' brother the new count.

Everyone was shocked.

And when Eli received the news, he only smiled indifferently.

This was something that Rias had talked to him about in the past three months. At that time, she had only mentioned it casually, saying that she felt guilty about her brother, but her brother's son seemed to be unable to inherit the title for some reason.

Eli still remembered it, so he pulled some strings.

It was as simple as that.

Report chapter Comments

Khorium 2 was of revolutionary significance to Eli.

This was because this type of medicine was completely different from ordinary medicine to a certain extent. For example, khorium No. 1 stimulated the regeneration of cells to squeeze out mental force, while khorium No. 2 transformed life force into mental force.

Therefore, to a certain extent, this potion would not build resistance. It just depended on how much the potion user could sacrifice their life force.

For Eli, at least until the first circle, this potion was enough for him.

Therefore, in the following days.

Eli took a bottle of potion at regular intervals.

However, he did not neglect his research on bloodlines and blood bamboo flowers.

…

Another three months passed.

This time, Eli's last friend in the Empire, Roland also left.

Eli also attended the funeral, but this time, he was much calmer than before. He only told Roland's descendants that if they needed any help, they could look for him.

Meanwhile, Eli was also considering whether he should change his identity, but after some thought, he gave up, mainly because there was really no need for that at the moment.

In any case, there were a few in their eighties or nineties in this world. Besides, changing identities was cumbersome and meaningless. After all, those who knew Eli were basically all dead.

There were no longer any friends he had made in his youth.

Eli was suddenly glad that he didn't get to know anyone new after his youth. Otherwise, it would more or less make him uncomfortable to watch waves of people die.

Therefore, it was not necessarily a bad thing to have less social contact.

…

Eli didn't care about the outside world.

In year 361 of the bryne calendar, which was the year after he created khorium II, another major event happened.

The Queen of Lorraine, Queen Cynthia, had passed away at the age of 90.

The Lorraine Kingdom was in turmoil, and the surrounding countries were also restless.

Queen Cynthia's life was glorious. She had led the backward Lorraine Empire to develop business and military. In the end, even Bryne had to admit that this was a country that was almost on par with the Empire.

The Queen had left a deep impression on him.

Be it her unique love for perfume or the fanatical belief of her people, these were things that Eli had never seen in Bryne. That kind of belief could only be possessed by the Queen, who had led the country to greatness. At the very least, Bryne the sixth and the seventh were not such leaders.

However, the Queen's death had an even more terrifying effect on Bryne.

Ever since the diplomatic relations between the two countries 30 to 40 years ago, the two countries were always been on the same side. It was also because of the existence of the Lorraine Kingdom that although the Bryne Empire had always been weak, there had never been a war.

However, with the new king of Lorraine taking office, no one knew what would happen.

If anything were to go wrong, it would be difficult for Bryne.

Although Anna's ability was not weak and she managed the country well, she still needed time. It had only been a few years. How could she recover from the decline brought by Bryne the seventh so quickly? That was impossible.

As for Bryne the seventh, he had been hiding in a manor all this time. Perhaps he had also realized what a terrible king he was.

Everyone was waiting for the bad news.

On the other hand, when Eli heard about this, he thought about it for a moment and continued his experiment.

If something serious happened, Anna would tell him.

…

Three months later.

There was new progress in Eli's bloodline experiment.

In the laboratory.

Eli looked at the man in front of him. He still had the appearance of a human, but his nails were sharp bone claws, and his eyes seemed to be a little red. His body size had also increased by a third compared to before.

At this moment, this man, who had integrated the blood of the wind Wolf, was tied to a stand. He was shaking his body wildly as if he wanted to see if he could break free from the rope.

Eli didn't stop him. He just watched on calmly.

Such a violent experiment might allow him to observe the true situation of this human.

He was holding a notebook in one hand and jotting something down with the other.

The sound of the rope breaking was heard. The man's eyes became even redder, and he fell from the cross to the ground with a thud.

The man seemed to be surprised by the sudden escape. He looked at the sharp claws on his hands and the dwarf-like Eli opposite him. He grinned hideously, drooling.

"Go to hell!"

The man ran madly towards Eli. He wanted to kill this person who had transformed him into such a ghastly creature.

"not bad, he still has just the template of a normal human. After merging with the blood, his strength has reached the level of an intermediate Knight, and his speed is almost the same as an advanced Knight." What the man didn't expect was that Eli was still calm as he calmly recorded the data, which made the man even more furious.

"Go to hell!"

A wall of wind suddenly appeared.

The sharp claws touched the wind wall, and the man saw his sharp claws being torn apart in an instant.

He let out a painful howl and looked at Eli with fear.

"Let me see your limit." Eli looked at the man and gave him a " kind " smile.

The sound of fear reverberated in the laboratory.

Half an hour later, the door opened.

Eli cleaned up the flesh and blood residue in the laboratory and returned.

"An ordinary person can become stronger with blood integration. However, there seem to be many flaws. I need more experimental bodies and real tests." Eli wrote slowly in his notebook.

As his research on bloodlines became more in-depth, he also understood that this was a pretty good path. Eli felt that he would probably integrate a bloodline into his body in the future to enhance his strength.

"I need to do more experiments, but where can I find targets?"

Eli frowned.

Suddenly, Dong Dong Dong!

The bell rang three times in a row, and Eli looked up.

If he remembered correctly, three chimes should be the beginning of the war.

War?

Eli's eyes lit up. Was there a better place to test than the battlefield?

…

Year 361 of the bryne calendar.

The new king of the Lorraine Kingdom announced that he would cut off all contact with Bryne.

The recovered Bryne Kingdom was instantly exposed to the many other kingdoms. For the sake of huge benefits, the war began. historical

It was different from the last time in Eli's memory.

During the first war Eli experienced, the country was still under the leadership of Bryne the sixth. The country was powerful and had a strong military. But now, after the rule of Bryne the seventh, it could be said that Bryne was at its weakest in history.

This time, it was the neighboring Vis Kingdom that had initiated the war.

The war started suddenly and ended very quickly.

By the time Jun Lin received the news, Bryne had been defeated, and the nobles who had participated in the war had been captured.

The first war after Queen Anna came to power ended in a hasty and difficult way, but everyone knew that there would only be an even more intense war.

In this regard, no one dared to say that they were full of confidence in winning the war, not even Queen Anna.

And at this moment, it was time for Eli to choose what to do.

Whether it was for the purpose of searching for the ruins or to experiment with the bloodline, he had to do something.

Bryne… He needed the kingdom to survive because he had come to view it as his private property.

106 Bloodline Knight

"Anna, what's the current situation?"

In a room, Eli sat at the main seat while Anna sat opposite him in a dignified manner, her legs crossed, listening carefully to what Eli was saying.

"Teacher, the situation has not been good recently. The Vis Kingdom is much stronger than we thought. Bryne has been weak for too long. We are not as strong as them in terms of Knights, and they have more Grand Knights than us." Anna said bitterly, somewhat unwilling.

If it had not been for her stupid father, the Empire would not have been so weak.

It could only be said that her grandfather's judgment in choosing people was really bad.

"Teacher, you've come to ask this question. Do you have any ideas?" Anna asked expectantly. To be honest, she had always thought that Eli was omnipotent.

"of course, I'm here to help you this time," Eli said with a smile. For his experiment, what he was about to do was indeed to help Bryne.

"I have an experiment here that might be of help to you, but I need your cooperation," Eli said.

"Teacher, just say it. Anything is fine." Anna had been under a lot of pressure these days, and she was eager to get help.

"Alright, I need some Knights, even Grand Knights," Eli said without any trace of politeness.

"Sure," Anna said without hesitation.

Following that, Eli gave a simple explanation. Anna nodded and began to call out.

Soon, a Knight was summoned.

"Andre, you are an advanced Knight and one of the people I trust the most. I have an experiment here that might be of help to the Empire. Are you willing to participate? " At this time, Anna was already sitting in the main seat, and ere stood up. After all, Anna was the ruler of the Empire on the surface.

"Everything for the Queen, everything for the Empire." The Knight knelt down on one knee and offered his loyalty.

"Then I'll leave it to you, teacher." Anna turned her head and said to Eli.

Eli smiled.

"Leave the rest to me."

…

Year 361, December of the bryne calendar.

Following Bryne's defeat, the vis Kingdom made their move again.

They quickly sent out a large number of troops, leading a large number of Knights, and headed toward the Bryne Empire. Their intention was clear. They wanted to tear a piece out of Bryne.

The battle started at once.

When the news reached Junlin, the nobles were also terrified.

Everyone was filled with uneasiness.

…

At the same time.

In a martial arts field in the palace.

Andre panted heavily and looked down at his body.

He was now two meters tall, and his eyes had turned into strange vertical pupils. The muscles on his body were bulging, and he could feel that his perception and strength were far beyond what they had been before.

"Your Majesty." He took a deep breath and looked at the Queen, who was not far away, but when he looked at Eli beside him, he had a look of fear.

He didn't know what had happened to his body. How did he become like this? he was drugged by Eli and was like this after he woke up.

At first, he was terrified, but when he thought of the Queen's order, he gradually calmed down.

"Teacher, is this your experiment?" Anna's throat moved slightly as she asked.

"That's right. I've been studying bloodlines recently. I've integrated the bloodline of the explosive Lion into his body. It seems that the effect is not bad, but there are some flaws. I may need to slowly make up for them later." Said Eli as he pursed his lips. historical

He had completely treated Bryne as his testing ground, using the resources of a Knight's Kingdom to support his growth.

"Let's test our strength," said Eli directly.

"Alright!" Anna nodded and waved her hand, and a man appeared on the other side of the stage.

"Greyson, a Grand Knight, is my personal guard." Anna introduced.

On the martial arts stage, Greyson was also looking at the man opposite him in shock.

"Are you Andre?" Greyson knew Andre and was also shocked. What happened? How did Andre become like this? was this the power of the devil?

"Greyson, do you want to test Andrew's strength?" Anna shouted, not far away.

Hearing the Queen's order, Greyson nodded and became serious. The vitality force in his body shook, and a steady stream of power emerged in his body.

In an instant.

He made his move.

He took half a step back with his right leg and bent it slightly. Then, he stepped on the ground, and a small pit appeared in the ground. His body quickly approached Andre.

Seeing that Greyson had made his move, Andre also let out an angry roar and rushed toward him.

Bang!

Like two cannonballs colliding, the two of them instantly collided.

The sound of bones rubbing against each other rang out. The dust dispersed, and the two figures were facing each other. From the looks of it, they seemed to be evenly matched.

Anna was extremely shocked.

Andre was only an advanced Knight, and he was a far cry from a Grand Knight. But now, he was actually able to fight with Greyson. It was simply unbelievable.

Grayson's eyes widened.

He felt the power coming from Andre's hand. It wasn't any weaker than his. How was this possible?

Originally, he could easily take down five Andres, but Andre was now fighting toe-to-toe with him. It was simply incredible.

He instantly pulled back and changed directions to attack from the other side. Andre didn't give in either. Just like that, the two of them started to attack each other.

The battle was evenly matched.

Greyson was also fighting seriously, but he suddenly realized that as the battle began, Andre's eyes seemed to become redder and redder, and his strength seemed to have become stronger.

Roar!

With a roar that sounded like a beast's roar, Andre attacked Grayson like a primitive beast. He looked like he had completely lost his mind, and a few wounds instantly appeared on Grayson's body, from which blood flowed.

Sensing the smell of blood, Andre seemed to have gone even crazier. He launched a desperate attack. Greyson frantically tried to block it, but even he couldn't stop such a desperate attack.

Anna was also shocked when she saw this.

She immediately waved his hand, and a few more Grand Knights rushed in. They were also surprised to see the crazy Andre.

"Control him," Anna ordered.

A few Grand Knights attacked at the same time, but it took them five minutes to control the crazy Andre and tie him to the ground.

Andre, who was under control, slowly regained his calm and passed out.

"Teacher, what is this?" Anna turned her head and asked.

"It's called an experiment because it's not yet perfect," Eli replied calmly.

At this moment, Greyson also walked over and knelt down in front of Anna.

"Greyson, what do you think of Andre's current strength?" Anna didn't ask Eli anymore but asked Greyson instead.

"Your Majesty, Andre's current combat power is already comparable to a newly promoted Grand Knight who doesn't use elements. If he goes berserk as he did just now, even a Grand Knight who has been promoted for a few years would have to avoid him." Greyson replied with a lingering fear.

"Yes." Anna nodded, but she was still hesitant.

A few days ago, her teacher had suddenly come to offer her help, and today she was shown an experiment. The experimental target was indeed very strong, but it had other flaws, which made her a little uncertain.

However, she only hesitated for a moment before turning to face Eli.

"Teacher, I will give you more Knights, even Grand Knights."

Eli nodded and smiled.

Bryne was so weak now, so as long as Anna did not want to lose, she would have to agree. Although he could force her to agree, Eli still preferred to convince people with reason.

"Yes, thank you for your help, teacher." Anna nodded.

Eli would get more from the experiments, but Anna still had to thank him respectfully.

In the next half a month.

More Knights were sent to Eli's laboratory.

Eli was also very happy to see the batch of higher-quality experiments. He kept experimenting with his various ideas, looking forward to testing some of them in the war.

After these Knights received the bloodline, their combat power increased greatly. Even the ordinary low-ranked Knights were comparable to advanced Knights, and advanced Knights could even compete with Grand Knights.

The only regret was that there were no Grand Knights participating yet, mainly because Eli thought that his technique was too rough, and he would only fuse them after a period of time when he was more familiar with it.

These Knights who had fused with their bloodlines were also sent to the front lines for their first battle.

…

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Semi plain. historical

This was the border between the Bryne Empire and the Vis Empire.

At this moment, large dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and the gray sky brought a great sense of oppression. Countless birds were flying in the sky, looking at the humans below with curiosity.

At this moment, a large number of troops had already gathered on both sides of the plain.

To the West was the Army of the vis Kingdom. Most of them were clad in dark green armor, and the weapons in their hands were also exquisitely forged. They glinted with a cold light, and their eyes under their helmets were filled with a strong desire to fight.

They formed a specific formation, like hungry wolves with their fangs open, ready to cruelly split the enemy into pieces.

This was the vis Kingdom, a country that had developed very well in the past few years. A large amount of iron ore in the country had also provided them with excellent weapons, and their desires had gradually increased in the past few years.

This time, they had extended their hands to their neighboring country, Bryne, which was once a powerful country.

On the other side, Bryne's Army was also ready.

However, the difference was obvious. Although the number of people on both sides was about the same, the quality was different. The soldiers of Bryne wielded weapons that seemed to be forged years ago.

Bryne's fall in recent years had caused the domestic economy to deteriorate further. This had led to a lack of funds for the Army in recent years. The number of Knights in the Army was far less than that of the Vis Empire. This was not good news.

"This is it?"

At this moment, a Grand Knight was standing in a tall chariot in the midst of the Vis Empire's Army. He looked at Bryne's Army and smiled.

Bryne had fewer Knights than them. The only strange thing was that Bryne's Knights seemed to be a little taller, but they were only Knights and didn't have much of an effect.

"General, it seems that Bryne is not as good as he used to be." A rough-looking man beside the Knight said loudly.

"That's right. I've already thought about how I'm going to charge into the city and where I'm going to plunder women and money."

"Hahahaha!"

The Knights laughed unscrupulously, revealing relaxed expressions.

The general didn't teach them a lesson. Instead, he laughed with them.

When he was young, Bryne was much stronger than Weiss. But now, times had changed. A weak country was not worthy of so many resources.

"it's time to let Bryne know how powerful we are. Fight!!" The general drew his sword and shouted.

"Fight!"

The soldiers shouted the same and slowly approached the other side.

…

"Damn it, how can the gap be so huge?"

On Bryne's side, a fat man wiped the sweat off his forehead. His bulging stomach further illustrated his combat power. He was the noble who was in charge of commanding the Army this time, Earl Simon.

"my Lord, what should we do? Why don't we escape? we can't fight this!" A man said worriedly.

"my ass! Run! Where can we run to?!" The fat man slapped the man hard.

Although he was scared, he never thought of running.

"don't worry. Didn't Her Majesty send people over? " Fatty seemed to have thought of something as he looked at a corner not far away.

On the other side, there was an Army of about 30 people. They were all advanced Knights, wearing specially made tall armor and wide helmets that covered their faces. It was almost impossible to see their faces. It was a very strange Army.

"Forget it, I don't care anymore, let's fight!"

On the other side, the Vis Empire was also slowly approaching. He knew that he could not delay any longer.

The Black Dragon flag not far away began to wave, and the Army also set off toward the opposite side.

"Fight!"

The battle started at once.

In the short distance of a few hundred meters, the cavalrymen were the first to collide.

Like two streams of iron clashing, the sound of metal colliding, the neighing of horses, and painful curses mixed together. It was unknown how many people had died in this round of collision.

The cavalrymen didn't stop after the collision. Instead, they directly inserted themselves into the opposing officers, and the battle officially began.

At a location.

One of the Vis Knights used a heavy sword to smash down on a warrior's shield. The opponent was sent staggering by the sudden force, and his shield fell to the ground.

Then the Knight simply swung his sword again, and the man was killed. The Knight didn't even look at him. He just passed by and continued.

Not far away, one of Bryne's war chariots also passed by. Spears extended from both sides of the chariot, continuously reaping the lives of the people on both sides.

Life was constantly flowing away. Even Knights could not guarantee that they could survive in such an environment.

"damn it, my Lord. The situation is not good." On Bryne's side, the Earl's guard looked at the situation in front of him and said anxiously.

Nothing could be seen on the battlefield, but they were standing at a higher place and could see clearly that Bryne was being suppressed, even though it was not a one-sided battle yet.

If he didn't have any power to break the situation, then he would definitely lose.

"My Lord, that group hasn't made a move yet." What made the attendant anxious was that the Knights sent by Her Majesty the Queen on the other side seemed to have no reaction. They had not moved at all since the beginning, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

"If we had known that we couldn't rely on them, we would have left," The noble also cursed. Seeing the increasingly terrible environment, he prepared to leave first.

The war was lost, but he would not die for it.

…

"Your Excellency, Bryne is no match for us at all." Beside the general, the Knight's smile became even more brilliant.

Before the battle began, they were still a little nervous, but now, they just wanted to laugh out loud.

Bryne was no longer the same old Bryne.

"eh? Your Excellency, there's a group of Knights over there that suddenly moved."

Someone suddenly shouted.

The large group of Knights had finally moved.

"It's just a last-ditch struggle." The general said in disdain.

What could 30 Knights do?

Unless they could kill their way to him and kill him directly.

But wasn't that nonsense?

"The battle is almost over!" Ignoring the Knights, the general revealed a confident smile.

They had already won this battle.

108 War

"Kill!"

The Knights suddenly moved. The horses under their feet, which had a slight trace of the blood of magical beasts, exhaled heavily. The battle armor on their bodies made them look a little ferocious and terrifying.

The 30 elite Knights who had merged with their bloodline held their weapons. They were like small black dots, blending into the battlefield. They were so unremarkable, so small.

But what shocked everyone was …

!!

The enemies in front of them died in an instant. Each of them was only an Elite Knight, but their explosive power was not something a Knight could withstand.

A few of Vis' elite Knights saw this and immediately rushed over to help.

"Bryne's trash, go to hell." One of the Knights held a sharp sword and slashed at a person.

Bang!

The sound of swords clashing rang out.

In the man's disbelieving eyes, he was sent flying off his horse by another Elite Knight. The huge force sent him off his horse.

"How is that possible?" The man couldn't believe it, but his opponent wouldn't give him a chance. Another strike.

In the air, he could not stop it at all. He could only watch as the sharp blade cut into his neck, and blood drew an arc.

After the Knights killed him, they didn't even look at him. The group of Knights continued to advance forward.

Their target was none other than the war chariot where the general of the Vis Kingdom was.

On the other side.

The general's eyes were wide open when he saw this.

"Who can tell me what the hell is that group of Knights?" The general's mouth was wide open, and he was stunned.

Was that an advanced Knight?

Which advanced Knight could suppress another advanced Knight so easily?

It had to be a Grand Knight, right?

The general suddenly wanted to take back his words. The thirty people in front of him were like Grand Knights. Who could stop them?

30 Grand Knights.

Don't be ridiculous. How many Grand Knights did an Empire have? this was completely unreasonable!

Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he was panicking when he saw this group of Knights charging toward him.

"Kill them! Grand Knights, attack!" He shouted.

As for Vis' side, they only had three grand knights, not counting the general. The general hesitated for a bit before getting on his warhorse and attacking.

Four Grand Knights should be able to take down a group of advanced Knights easily.

…

However, half an hour later.

The general looked at the three Grand Knights who had fallen not far away. He touched the blood on his head and felt like the world was crazy.

He looked up and saw that there were still ten Knights in front of him. Around him, there were tens of hundreds of low-level, intermediate, and advanced Knights who were all dead.

The remaining 10 Knights were also covered in blood. Their black armor had long been stained red with blood. They seemed to have lost their minds at this time as they rushed towards him.

His throat moved slightly. He couldn't believe the kind of ridiculous thing he had just encountered.

Almost all of these people were on par with Grand Knights. What was more terrifying was that as the battle went on, these people seemed to have taken drugs. They were almost exchanging injuries for injuries, and they were not afraid of death at all.

They were like wild beasts.

He also saw the corpse of a Knight not far away. He saw horns sticking out of the corpse's head. The general thought he was dreaming.

However, when he saw the ten red-eyed, bleeding Knights with broken arms charging at him, everything seemed real.

He considered his own situation.

The general took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Mother, please protect me."

When he opened his eyes again, he picked up his sword and rushed over.

Ten minutes later.

The general looked at the five swords in his chest and one of the Knights in close proximity. His helmet had been knocked off, and there were two gray-white horns on his head.

"There's really a horn!"

The general let out a sound as if he had suddenly realized something. The next second, he lost all signs of life.

At the same time.

All the soldiers had been watching the Knights from a distance for a long time. As Vis' general died, Vis' army side immediately lost their momentum, while Bryne's army cheered.

The counterattack began.

At the same time.

A few miles away.

Bryne's Earl was riding a horse when he heard the voice behind him. He was puzzled for a moment, but the next second, he ran even faster.

Bryne had won the war, but he had lost the battle, so he had to run quickly and not get caught.

…

The next day.

The news of Vis' defeat was instantly sent back to Junlin. All of the nobles were in disbelief because they knew how weak their army was.

The richer they were, the weaker their Army would be.

Even so, they were still able to defeat the well-trained forces of the Vis Kingdom. This was too outrageous.

Soon after, more news of Bryne's victory came back. It was the secret Order of Knights sent by Her Majesty the Queen who killed the general of the enemy with one blow.

Everyone was shocked and immediately felt even more reverence for the Queen.

And everyone referred to that terrifying Regiment of Knights as the demon Knights.

As for the noble who escaped, he was captured and directly ordered to be executed.

…

The aftermath of the war not only spread within the Empire but also quickly spread to the surrounding countries. The other countries also had an inexplicable fear of Bryne.

Everyone had also stopped their hostility toward Bryne.

Vis also pulled back his forces, but it was unknown whether he was trying to gather more information or preparing to send troops again.

…

Eli ignored the outside world.

In the laboratory.

Looking at the Four Knights who had returned, Eli tilted his head.

As expected, he seemed to have integrated too much of the bloodline into the knights this time. It was fine if they had long horns, but from their description, after five minutes of fighting, they had basically lost all consciousness and were fighting with their animal instincts.

They would instinctively kill the strongest Knights, which was why they targeted the general in the end.

If the general was a little weaker, they might not have noticed him.

"It's just a small mistake. Actually, I should've noticed it earlier." Eli reflected on it for a moment, and he had more in-depth thoughts about the bloodline integration experiment.

As expected, the results of such violent experiments in the war were indeed good. Therefore, when Eli heard that the war had stopped, he raised his eyebrows.

How could the war stop just like that?

Furthermore, Eli felt the need to take down the surrounding countries. After all, the mage ruins were in these countries, and it was too troublesome and too slow to send people to other countries. It would be better to turn all the places into his territory.

"Am I going to casually start a war?" Eli pursed his lips.

"Everything is for the truth! historical

"Plus, when everyone is united under one banner, there will be no more wars. I'm doing this for their own good. I'm really a kind person."

109 The Limit

Year 362 of the bryne calendar.

After the bryne Empire had defeated the Vis Kingdom in the Semi Plains, the atmosphere in the Empire had suddenly become somewhat heated, and Queen Anna also received the support of the people.

The new queen seemed to have brought new hope to the country.

Following Vis' defeat, everyone thought that the Queen was going to rest.

Just a month later, Queen Anna actually initiated a war on Vis.

Everyone was extremely shocked. The surrounding countries were also prepared to watch the fun. After all, although Bryne had won once, it did not mean that he could win again.

By relying on the legacy of the past, the Bryne Empire's basic strength was similar to that of the vis Kingdom. However, Vis still had the main troop back in its home county.

But when the war began.

The appearance of a group of Knights completely changed everything.

The demon Knights.

They were riding warhorses with a slight magical beast bloodline, and they were at least two meters tall. The weapons they carried with them were all big swords that ordinary Knights couldn't even lift. They were obviously only advanced Knights, but they were comparable to Grand Knights.

What made the other countries even more afraid was that these knights were not afraid of death at all.

Every time a war started, unless you killed them, they would continue to fight even if they lost an arm or a leg. They were as terrifying as demons.

They had appeared on many battlefields, and every time they appeared, they would bring victory to the Empire.

Perhaps only the Sky Knights could stop them, but that was not possible because no one had achieved the level of a sky knight before.

Just like this.

The war continued.

The Vis Kingdom kept failing and began to pray for peace.

But how could the Empire, whose morale was at its peak, agree to this?

Thus, in year 363 of the bryne calendar, the name of the Vis Empire was removed. Bryne took away everything from it, including its land, population, resources, and so on.

Queen Anna's name once again spread throughout the country. No one dared to provoke the bryne Empire, and the surrounding countries were also praying not to be noticed.

And in this atmosphere, the death of scholar Eli, the master of Leighton Manor, seemed to be a trivial matter. No one even noticed it. Even the Queen did not seem to have held a funeral for him. historical

As for his friends, all of Eli's friends were dead.

After Eli's death, the manor was also inherited by Eli's distant nephew, Layton, who happened to match the name of the manor. No one dared to have any ideas about the manor because, at this time, Queen Anna's prestige was at the highest level, and no one dared to touch the estate of her former teacher.

Layton, like his uncle Eli, was passionate about the manor and rarely went out. People who wanted to make friends with him couldn't even find him and gradually forgot about him.

…

Five years later.

"My mental force has reached 26.6. As expected, I still need to rely on the mental force potion." In the laboratory, Eli was about to pull his beard out of habit when he remembered that the 22-year-old Layton didn't have a beard, so he smiled.

Previously, Eli was already as old as 88 years old, and it was really not suitable for him to continue living.

After all, 88 years old was still considered normal. If he lived to be in his 90s or 100 years old, it would more or less be a little too much. That was why he felt that he should change his identity.

All these years, he had been staying in the manor, learning and researching new things, as well as improving his mental power. Compared to five years ago, it had increased by nearly three points.

It was a huge improvement, but if other mages knew that it was exchanged for nearly 400 years of life force, they would not be so envious.

On the other side, after the Empire took over Vis, they immediately began searching the area, but they didn't find any news of the ruins. Either they couldn't find it, or it wasn't there.

Anna's idea was to continue the war and help Eli search.

However, Eli made her wait for five years. After all, resources needed time to digest. It was more or less outrageous to want to annex more than a dozen countries at once.

"It should be about time now." Eli glanced at the one-centimeter bud in the flower pot not far away and turned his head to look out the window.

Thump thump thump!

Three massive bell chimes rang out, and countless birds flew into the air in alarm.

All the people immediately turned to look at the Imperial Palace.

Was another war about to break out?

…

Bryne calendar year 368.

Because of the conflict on the border between the Byrne Empire and the Chris Kingdom, Queen Anna brazenly sent out her troops, and the war between the two countries began again.

This time, the war had ended much faster than anyone had imagined.

In just half a year.

The destruction of the Chris Kingdom.

The bryne Empire had once again annexed everything in the Chris Kingdom. The bryne Empire had once again become stronger, and the dominance of the bryne Empire had caused the surrounding countries to become nervous.

Queen Anna personally came forward and brought to life Eli's idea to establish diplomatic relations with the countries far away while having a large-scale war with the countries close to them.

Time slowly passed.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Eli's spiritual power had already reached 28.9. At this stage, the increase in his mental power was even slower. Although there was the existence of khorium 2, the progress was slow.

30 points were the limit of a normal human. To reach this point, one either had to have talent or pay something else. What Eli paid was his vitality.

Other than this.

The Bryne Empire had become a true Empire.

His area was five to six times larger than before, and the surrounding countries had already become a part of the Bryne Empire, providing various resources for Eli.

Eli could quickly obtain whatever he needed through the Empire's channels.

Queen Anna was the Queen in name, but Eli was the one who truly controlled it.

As for the countries that had established diplomatic relations with Bryne before, they only realized that Bryne had become such a behemoth by the time they came to their senses. They could only hope that Bryne would not break his promise.

However, that was impossible. Just as the bryne Empire finished digesting the resources around it, it immediately broke the alliance agreement and the war began once again. This time, Anna's opponent was an alliance of seven to eight countries.

The war continued for six years.

To some people in the Bryne Empire, these six years had been full of hope.

The Empire had finally recovered its former glory and was even more powerful than before.

Even though Saleen metatrin's combat abilities were more powerful, he was still a single entity. Furthermore, he had never thought of integrating creature's bloodline into the Knight's body. He hadn't utilized the power of a country compared to Eli.

With the suicide of the king of the last opposing country, the bryne Empire finally achieved complete unification of the areas marked out by Saleen to possibly have mage ruins. Eli had no interest in further countries, so the war stopped.

The Lorraine Kingdom had been destroyed four or five years ago.

In the same year.

Eli's mental power had also reached 29.9, only a step away from 30 points.

Report chapter Comments

29.9.

In theory, the highest mental force an apprentice could reach was also the limit of an ordinary human.

If he wanted to break through to 30 points, he would need some other methods.

There were two methods recorded in Saleen metatrin's book.

The first was the most common method, which was to take limit-breaking potions. This could help a mage break through their mental force, but there was a certain amount of danger, so the dosage had to be controlled.

!!

The second method was to get help from a high-level mage. This method was relatively safe, but it consumed a lot of the mage's energy. Usually, the apprentice had to be a relative of the high-level mage or pay a huge price.

And the problem with Eli now was that he couldn't use either of the two methods.

For one, the ingredients for the limit-breaking potion were something that Eli had never seen in the Knight Kingdom before. The requirements for the ingredients were also very high and difficult to meet. The latter was even more ridiculous. There wasn't even a single apprentice here, let alone a high-level mage.

"So what should we do?" Eli furrowed his brows as he pondered this serious question.

He was already 102 years old. Normally, even if a mage had lived to this age, they would never consider breaking through because their states did not allow them to do so. But it was different for him. He was in good health, and his life was a little longer than ordinary mages.

Although it was suspected that the advancement of a mage would consume vitality, Eli didn't care. After all, it didn't matter to Eli. He could also work with blood integration. These were all small problems.

Eli wanted to be the strongest. Based on his knowledge, mages were stronger than warlocks.

"I can ask the Empire to look for the materials for the potions, but I can't put all my hopes on it. I have to think of other ways." Eli pondered as he looked at the magic herb field outside the window.

At this time, in the far-off farmland, an empty area was particularly obvious.

In the center, there were more than a dozen blood bamboo flowers. The largest one was even a meter tall, and the aura it exuded was close to that of a first circle. It was a huge difference from before.

That one had been specially cultivated by Eli.

Every time Eli's experiment failed, he would pour waste blood on it. At first, Eli didn't notice it, but later on, he realized by chance that this blood bamboo flower was so strange. It was much bigger than the other flowers, and the potions made from the flowers were stronger. Only then did he understand that this plant had absorbed too much blood from magical beasts and had leveled up.

For now, Eli wondered if the flowers of this plant could provide him with the ingredients he needed.

"I'll do both. On the one hand, I'll get the Empire to help me find magic medicine, and on the other hand, I'll get the Empire to find the blood of magical beasts to cultivate the blood bamboo flower."

Eli, who had been an apprentice mage for more than 80 years, had finally reached this stage. His pace was really slow.

He had endured until all his friends had died, until Bryne's Emperor had passed on for two terms, until Bryne had gone from being normal to being weak, and then to becoming the most powerful country.

These were everything that had happened in the last eighty years.

"time really flies. Oh, and I need to remind Anna to look for the ruins." Eli exclaimed, then returned to the laboratory.

The next day.

The bryne Empire had set up a new department.

The ruins Department. historical

They only had three duties. The first was to find specific extraordinary monsters and magic potions, the second was to hunt magical beasts and collect blood, and the third was to look for strange places within the Empire or places where there might be relics.

As soon as the Department was established, it immediately selected the top talents from all departments in the country, including scholars, Grand scholars, people who were good at grave robbing, Knights, Grand Knights, and even those who were arrested in the war. If they had these special skills, they could be pardoned.

The Department was set up in secret, so ordinary people did not know about it. However, some aristocrats did know about it and expressed their confusion. After all, the Empire had just absorbed so much land, and the first thing they should do was to develop it. However, Queen Anna had spent so much energy on this. It was simply unreasonable.

They had even released some of the more talented prisoners, which made them feel even more ridiculous.

Several nobles expressed their dissatisfaction with Queen Anna, but the next day, the Empire lost a few Marquises and Earls and gained a few more Earls, Viscounts, and barons. No one dared to talk about it anymore.

It was only then that they realized who the real master of the Empire was.

…

It was the second day after Eli ordered Anna to set up the ruins Department.

Eli had also officially begun his preparations for his mental power breakthrough, as well as the solidification of his model.

Saleen metatrin's legacy did not include many preparations for spell models, but there were seven to eight excellent spell models, all of which were from Saleen metatrin's personal collection.

Among them were Star Shield, blood red Hand, moon attraction, thorn control, shadow corrosion, water curtain, rock barrier, and spirit shield.

Eli had to choose one of them, and this required a lot of caution.

The spell model was a special type of spell. There were two special points about it. One was that it could be cast instantly and only required a small amount of mana. The other was that the spell model would improve along with the mage's strength.

For example, when a mage advanced to the second circle, even if the spell model was only the first circle, it could still burst out the power of the second circle. This was one of the strengths of a mage.

Therefore, the choice of a focused spell was a huge issue. It had to be carefully chosen, and there was no second chance. This was very important to a mage.

There were a total of eight first-circle spells available for Eli to choose from.

Among them, the star Shield, water curtain, rock barrier, and spirit shield were all defensive spells. The first three were physical and elemental, while the latter were spiritual.

Of the other four, only the blood-red Hand and shadow corrosion were offensive spells, while the other two were control spells.

Which one to choose was a big problem.

However, Eli still leaned towards a defensive spell. After all, he had many combat techniques. He would have all kinds of combat techniques in the future, and defensive spells were relatively rare.

Furthermore, he only had one life, so he naturally had to protect himself.

Finally, after a few days of thinking, he made a decision.

In the end, he chose spirit shield.

The reason was that this spell just happened to fill in the gap of his lack of mental defense spells, and the interesting thing about this spell was that it consumed very little energy, and Eli could maintain it 24 hours a day to protect his mental safety. It was very practical and very suitable for him.

"Since I've made my choice, then I need to prepare well." Taking out the model of the spirit Shield to record on paper, Eli was prepared to study it.

He was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough!

Just as Eli was learning and memorizing the spell model, within the borders of the bryne Empire, there were countless people carrying out Eli's orders.

In a certain mountain.

A group of Knights was fighting a magic Wolf at the early stage of the zero circle. The magic Wolf was very fast. Every time it dodged, it would launch another attack. If the surrounding Knights were not careful, they would be directly pounced on and killed quickly.

"Damn it. I'll block him, and you guys find a chance." One of the Knights said loudly. Then, he pounced on the magic Wolf and tried to restrain it.

The magic Wolf was also shocked. It frantically moved its body, trying to break through, but seeing the Knight's abnormal stubbornness, the Wolf directly bit the man's arm.

"Ah!!!"

The Knight let out a painful cry, but at the same time, more Knights arrived and pierced the Wolf, killing it instantly.

With the death of the magic Wolf, the Knight finally heaved a sigh of relief. He pushed the demon Wolf away and could clearly feel that his arm had been broken. He took a deep breath and stood up in pain.

"Take the blood!"

Immediately, a professional ran over from a distance and began to take the blood of the magic Wolf.

The Knight sighed.

For the blood of this magic Wolf, they had lost two knights.

…

In a Lake within an Empire.

A few small boats were gathered in the middle of the lake, and each boat had a Knight tied to it.

With the commander's order, a few of them jumped off the boat and disappeared into the water with a bang. They continued to descend, and the rope on the boat continued to extend.

Ten minutes later, the Knights were pulled up one after another.

"How is it? did you find any ruins?" A man asked.

"No, we've already searched the entire area. There's no trace of it at all. Adding on the other areas we searched a few days ago, there shouldn't be anything here." The Knight answered calmly.

Everyone sighed again. The leader took out a map and continued to look for where they were going next.

At this time, there were many people searching in the Empire's territory like them. Their search was relatively simple.

There were no results every day, but there were still many accidental deaths every day. If it were not for the Queen's orders, no one would be willing to persist for so long.

What were they looking for?!

… historical

Time was merciless, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Eli stood beside the magic herb field, watching as his servants carried a large bucket of magical beast blood and watered the blood bamboo flower in the center.

As soon as the blood was poured down, the blood bamboo flower seemed to have smelled delicious food. It stretched out its body, and the tentacles on the flower also stretched out, swaying aimlessly in all directions.

The moment the blood touched the blood bamboo flower, it disappeared without a trace.

The two servants were already used to it. At first, they were surprised to see it, but after watering it every day, they gradually became numb to it.

It was a strange plant that used blood, or rather, life force, as its nutrients.

"We're almost there," Eli looked at the blood bamboo flower, whose aura was growing stronger by the day.

Compared to a year ago, the blood bamboo flower had already grown to 1.2 meters. The flower it bore was as big as a bowl, like a blood-red Lantern. The aura it emitted was also much stronger than two years ago.

Two years ago, it was a magic plant in the early stage of the zero circle, and now it was already in the late stage.

In two years, the Empire had invested in Eli's research without caring about the cost, and only then did he advance a little. Regarding this, Eli was also very helpless.

It was mainly because the flower's original level was too low. It was almost like an ordinary plant. What Eli was doing now was directly elevating its level. Furthermore, Eli did not find this plant in Saleen's magic medicine records. It was very likely that it had mutated by chance and was one of the miracles of the endless world.

"I just need a little more time." Eli calmly pondered how much longer it would take.

He had already finished analyzing the spell model a year ago. In fact, other than his talent in meditation, he was also talented in understanding, analyzing, reconstructing spell models, and even potions and alchemy. A spell model was not difficult for him.

The only thing he had to worry about now was how to break through his mental power.

Putting aside the blood bamboo flower, he had already found more than half of the ingredients for the limit-breaking potion, but there were no clues for the remaining ones. He could only rely on those people to keep searching and see if they could find them.

"Let's take it slow." Eli sighed. Since he could not increase his mental strength, he could only study other aspects. He had recently started to study alchemy, and it just so happened that Saleen still had some alchemy spells in his collection.

…

Another two years passed.

Eli looked at the pair of boots in front of him and revealed a satisfied smile.

This was the most satisfactory mage tool he had made so far, and it had also reached the level of a high-grade mage tool.

Windwalk boots, a zero-circle high-grade mage tool.

The interior was mainly engraved with wind element formations. Activation could increase the wearer's speed or carry out a short-distance glide. Moreover, after some modifications by Eli, it could also carry out a double jump or a sharp turn in the air.

It was a good mage tool for escaping.

That's right, Eli's idea in refining this weapon was to run faster.

At this time, there seemed to be some progress in the materials for the limit-breaking potion. There were still two materials that had not been found. The blood bamboo flower had also broken through the late stage of the zero circle and was about to reach the first circle.

…

Another six years passed.

At this moment, he had found another limit-breaking potion's ingredient, and he was only one ingredient away from completing it.

But on the other side, to the pleasant surprise of Eli, the blood bamboo flower had finally reached its limit.

However, the problem was that it seemed that ordinary zero-circle blood was no longer able to enhance it in any way. Eli was helpless as well, and he finally made a decision.

That was to sacrifice his own life force.

Eli was already at the limit of the zero circle, so he could still be of some use to the plant.

Eli stretched out his hand, and the white tentacle instantly wrapped around his arm, then began to suck away the vitality. The massive and endless vitality slowly improved the blood bamboo flower.

In the end, after absorbing almost 500 years of life force …

The blood bamboo flower had finally advanced to a first-circle magic plant.

The blood bamboo flower was completely different from before.

It was 1.5 meters tall, and its bamboo-like body seemed to be oozing blood, but it also had a metallic luster. There were also many more spike-like things on its tentacles, and the number had increased.

Most importantly, the mental energy contained in the bud in the center of the flower had finally reached the standard of the first circle. This stalk of magic medicine, even if it was only first-circle, was enough to show its effects.

And just as Eli succeeded, the servant walked in.

He brought another piece of good news to Eli.

112 Breakthrough

"You found the sun Corolla?"

Just as he recovered from the good news of the blood bamboo flower's advancement, he received another piece of good news.

The sun Corolla was one of the most important materials in the limit-breaking potion. It was a top material of the zero circle, and it usually took at least a hundred years before it bloomed.

The latter didn't matter. What Eli had always thought didn't exist in this land, but they actually found it. It was a pleasant surprise.

However, it seemed inevitable. After all, tens of thousands of people had searched every corner of the Empire, which was nearly a million square kilometers of land. Even if the place was barren, it should not be without a zero circle Material.

Of course, it would be impossible for a normal person to find it.

This was something that an Empire had spent a full ten years to find.

"Then quickly send it to me," Eli ordered.

…

Now that he had the ingredients for the magic potion, the next step was naturally to concoct the magic potion in preparation for his breakthrough.

On the third day, all the ingredients for the limit-breaking potion were sent to the manor. Eli looked at the dozens of ingredients in front of him, took a deep breath, and decided to prepare and wait a little longer.

For some of the materials, he only had one of them, so it was better to prepare more.

…

Five years later.

In the laboratory.

Eli took a deep breath, picked up a stalk of magic medicine, and began to process it. After five years of preparation, he was already confident that he could concoct the magic medicine.

Very quickly, the materials were processed one by one. historical

Eli began to process the potion according to the formula. After five years of preparation, he had a thorough understanding of every step. He had also done many simulations, so he was very confident.

Soon, he finished all the steps.

An hour later, Eli looked at the potion in front of him and smiled.

It was a dark purple potion. It looked ordinary, but even just by smelling it, Eli seemed to feel the throbbing of his mental power, which made him very happy.

Of course, even though the limit-breaking potion was ready, it was still not enough.

Eli needed more preparation. Khorium 3, which was the new blood bamboo flower potion, should be produced.

After five years of growth, the blood bamboo flower had completely become a first circle Material. The flower completely met Eli's requirements, and he planned to make more in case of an emergency.

A year later, Eli looked at the ten bottles of khorium three in front of him and revealed a satisfied smile.

These potions were the result of his hard work.

If he wanted to produce blood bamboo flowers of suitable quality, zero circle magical beast blood would definitely not work, so he could only feed the flower with his own blood. This was the result after sacrificing about two thousand years of vitality.

It might not seem like an equal amount, but input and output were two completely different things. He had input 2000 years, but that did not mean that the blood bamboo flower could also produce a 2000-year quality blood bamboo flower. Being able to convert a portion of it was already very strong.

So, Eli felt that this flower was a perfect match for him.

One needed life force, while the other had endless life force.

"Since I'm ready, it's time to break through." Eli took a deep breath.

…

Three days later.

All personnel was prohibited from entering Leighton Manor. At the same time, a team of more than a dozen Grand Knights surrounded the manor, and nearly a hundred Knights were patrolling.

They didn't know what to do, but the Queen's order was not to let a single mosquito in.

In the basement.

The light illuminated the space, and at this moment, Eli was sitting in the center, and around him, there were fine runes all over, exuding a rich aura and attracting the surrounding elements.

In front of him, eleven bottles of potions were neatly arranged.

He activated the spell formation, and more elements were instantly attracted to him. They approached him, and in an instant, they grew to three to four times their normal sizes. With a calm expression, he immediately consumed the limit-breaking potion.

As the potion entered his body, a cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body.

In the next second, Swoosh!

His mental power, which had not been used for 16 years, also began to increase slowly.

29.90.

29.91.

…

29.99.

30.0.

It was as if the shackles on his body had been broken. Eli felt as if his mental energy had broken through a certain limit, and a mysterious change was beginning to happen in his body.

Due to the rise of his mental strength, even more elements began to gather. Like a small vortex, it began to spiral above Eli's head, and a large number of elements began to pour into his body.

This was also a very important step in advancing to the next level.

Semi-elemental transformation.

It was impossible for an ordinary person's body to withstand more than 30 points of mental force, and every mage had its own methods to remedy that. For knights, some chose to strengthen the body, while others could rely on innate strong vitality. As for mages, they chose to transform their body into elements.

This step was also the main difference between an apprentice and an official mage.

An elementalized body would give a mage a qualitative leap in terms of the number of elements they could use, their sensitivity to the elements, and even their power.

It was still possible to defeat high-level acolytes by relying on numbers, but it was impossible for acolytes to defeat official mages. Even if there were tens of Level 3 acolytes against one first circle mage, it would still be impossible for the mage to lose.

After becoming an official Mage, even if one was just yielding an ordinary zero-circle spell, its power could be increased by at least five to six times.

There were even some mages who did not treat humans as their own race, even if they were once ordinary humans. The transition in life would cause a huge change in mentality.

Of course, it was impossible to complete the elemental essence conversion at the first ring. The further conversion would require further advancement.

At this moment, a large number of gathered elements, under the guidance of Eli's spiritual power, were transforming Eli's weak body.

The modification continued.

Eli's cells gradually began to undergo unknown changes. Little by little, elements began to fuse into it, and there were slight changes to the cell composition. His physical fitness was also rapidly improving.

And at this moment, Eli closed his eyes.

There was another change happening in his mind.

The white pillar of light that had always been in Eli's consciousness also emitted white spots of light, following the elements and beginning to transform Eli's body. Eli's cells were gradually tainted with traces of the aura of time.

Unbeknownst to Eli, the talent for controlling time had been added to his repertoire. Even if Eli did know, he wouldn't know what it meant. One had to know, the talent of time, even among celestial sorcerers, was an extremely rare talent.

Only the celestials had the chance to come into contact with it or even touch the traces of time. However, Eli, even during this transformation, was already equipped with the talent for time.

…

The modifications were carried out bit by bit. Suddenly, Eli opened his eyes.

It was not because he had succeeded but because there was an insufficient element.

Eli sensed the elements around him. Although there were many of them, they could not last until he finished his advancement. Even the array beneath him was absorbing more elements.

"So this is why there are no mages here?"

In an instant, it seemed like Eli understood something.

He had always thought that there were no mages here because of the lack of resources, but he never thought about the lack of elements. It was difficult to break through to become a first-circle wizard.

In other words, there used to be mages here, but they all left later on. Only then did Saleen metatrin come here.

"Detestable!" The corners of Eli's mouth twitched, and he looked at the ten bottles of potions not far away. Thankfully, he was prepared.

He picked up a bottle of medicine and drank it directly. Instantly, a huge amount of life force flowed out rapidly, and his spiritual power exploded in an instant. However, this time, the spiritual power did not surge toward Eli but spread out instead.

A large number of elements were attracted by his spiritual power again.

"It's not enough!" Eli cast a glance at it and drank another bottle.

Bang!

Even more elements gushed over.

Not enough!

Not enough!

Not enough!

It took a total of six potions to finally gather all the elements.

At this moment, a huge elemental vortex formed in the sky above Eli, with a radius of more than ten meters.

At this moment, the Grand Knights patrolling outside also looked up at the sky.

"What's that?" A Grand Knight's mouth was wide open. He could feel the spiritual energy fluctuation there. It was hundreds or thousands of times more than the essence within his body.

All the Grand Knights were shocked. They could not understand how there were so many elements.

What was even more terrifying was that all the elements were pouring into the manor below. Their throats moved slightly, and they felt their mouths dry up. What exactly was in the manor?

…

While the Knights were still in shock.

As a large number of elements poured in, Eli's elemental conversion was quickly completed.

In the end, he reached 15.6% conversion, which was the starting point of a normal mage. In other words, he was already a first-circle mage.

However, if he wanted to become an official mage, this was far from enough. He still needed to solidify the imprint of the spell model.

This step didn't cause any major problems.

He began to imprint.

Complex runes began to gather in his mind, forming a complex spell model. The fixed model was different from other spell models, and even 1st circle spells were rarely more complicated than these.

To ordinary acolytes, this was still rather difficult.

But for Eli, after more than ten years of research, he no longer had any doubts about this model. Even first-circle Wizards probably didn't have a better understanding of this spell than he did.

Three hours later, the last rune was completed.

Eli finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, in the space of his consciousness, a translucent membrane began to appear, protecting his entire consciousness. It was a first-circle solidified spell-Spirit Shield.

At this point, Eli had finally completed all the advancement requirements.

On the day he turned 118, it was year 393 of the bryne calendar.

He had finally broken through.

To become an official first circle mage.

As a wizard, Eli finally understood what Saleen metatrin's log meant.

113 The Ruins

His life force was indeed draining away quickly.

Eli closed his eyes to feel it and realized that his vitality drainage was at least 1.5 times faster than before.

"Something is indeed wrong." Eli frowned.

It didn't matter if his life force was consumed, it wasn't a big deal. However, this phenomenon was indeed very strange.

!!

How could it be possible that the higher the level, the faster the life force would be consumed? This was simply outrageous. Not only did it not conform to Eli's common sense, but it also did not conform to the common sense of this world.

This world was indeed abnormal.

"There might be some clues in ruins." Eli shook his head and decided to put this matter aside and check the changes in his body.

His elemental essence conversion was at 15.6% and his mental force had reached 35.6.

The higher the degree of elemental essence conversion, the greater the amplification of spells. As for mental force, it directly affected the speed and power of a mage's spells.

Eli felt that the power of his spells was probably five to six times stronger than before, and his physical fitness had also improved greatly. However, as for how much it had improved, it was still a problem.

It needed to be tested properly.

"Forget it. I'd better figure out my body first today." Eli shook his head and walked outside.

Leighton Manor was very large. In addition to the area for planting magic herbs, there was also an area for breeding magic beasts. Behind the castle, there used to be a forest, but it had been flattened and turned into a training ground.

In the center of the training ground, there were a few stone pillars with a radius of three meters and a height of five meters. They were shining brightly under the sun. These were stone pillars, and they contained some minerals, which made them extremely hard.

In the past, the most he could do was leave a small hole in it.

But now …

Eli stood thirty meters away from the rock pillar and took a deep breath. Sparks instantly appeared and gathered in front of him. In an instant, a fireball the size of a carriage tire appeared.

As soon as the fireball appeared, the air around it began to burn, and its temperature was even more terrifying.

Although it was a zero-circle spell, it didn't look like one at all.

The fireball flew out instantly and arrived in front of the rock pillar in the blink of an eye, colliding with it.

Bang!

First, it was a huge ball of fire that expanded, followed by a loud explosion. The rock pillar was instantly wrapped in flames, and at the same time, a large number of gravel shot in all directions like rain.

Dozens of seconds later, the fire mist dispersed.

The state of the pillar was displayed then.

First, there was a large hole at the point of direct contact between the rock pillar and the fireball, which was almost two to three meters deep. This made the entire rock pillar appear to be somewhat broken. What was even more outrageous was that there was still liquid from the melted ore dripping slowly from the rock pillar.

Terrifying!

Eli also drew in a cold breath.

He knew that the spell would be much stronger, but he didn't expect it to be this much stronger.

Was this what a first-circle sorcerer was like?

It was on a completely different level from an apprentice, let alone a Knight.

After that, Eli began to experiment with other spells. By the time he was done, the rock pillars in the field had already shattered, falling to the ground and turning into broken stones.

"It's really good." Eli looked at the mess on the ground and smiled.

He had finally become a mage.

It had been 100 years since he came to this world. He had become a mage. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad.

Normally, in a hundred years, the protagonist would become the most powerful person in the world, or at least a famous Big Shot. However, he had never seen any other mages except himself.

It was too strange.

"tsk, tsk, tsk. Forget it. Let's continue to test my physical fitness." Throwing away these boring thoughts, Eli called out to the servant in the distance, asking him to call a Grand Knight over.

Very quickly, a Grand Knight who was bound was sent over.

If Eli remembered correctly, this should be a prisoner from another country who had recently been sent to Eli for him to experiment with materials. He did not expect the servant to actually send him here.

However, it didn't matter. He was a Grand Knight anyway, and he seemed to be one of the stronger Grand Knights.

The Grand Knight who was brought back lowered his head and did not say a word. historical

Five years ago, he had witnessed his country being destroyed by Bryne. Since then, he had been reduced to Bryne's slave. At first, he wanted to escape, but after being caught a few times, this idea gradually disappeared.

He had lost his country, his faith, and everything. If it weren't for the last bit of hope he had in life, he would have committed suicide.

"Raise your head," Eli looked at the man in front of him, who had his head lowered. 'Why was he so listless?'

The man did as he was told and saw Eli and the rock pillar ruins behind him.

He was stunned. What happened here? Even if it was a group of demonic elephants trampling, it couldn't have turned into such a scene. What an exaggerated scene.

However, it only attracted him for a second before he lowered his head again.

"Uh, what did he experience?" Eli raised an eyebrow, but the experiment had to continue, so he needed to give the man some hope.

"Hey, I need you to fight me. If you can defeat me, I'll set you free," said Eli directly.

Freedom?

The man was taken aback when he heard that word. He looked up at Eli, and a light appeared in his eyes.

"You're serious?"

"It's true." Eli nodded. He was just a Grand Knight, so it did not matter.

"Alright!" The man nodded, understanding that this was his chance.

He raised his head and moved a little. The shackles on his hands and feet made a clicking sound, and he got into a posture, ready to attack at any time.

"You're going to fight like this?" Eli smiled and said to the guard beside him, " Open his shackles."

The guard was shocked. "my Lord, this Grand Knight is very strong. He even killed one of our Grand Knights when he was escaping. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to let him go? "

"Let him go," Eli said without any nonsense.

Although the attendant was worried, he didn't dare to say anything. He immediately ran over to open the man's leg cuffs and handcuffs. The man was also very surprised. He didn't expect the man in front of him to be so arrogant and dare to let him go.

"Since you've promised to let me go, I won't kill you later," The Grand Knight said seriously.

"Kill me?" Eli smiled and gestured for the Grand Knight to take action.

The Grand Knight did not waste any time. He rushed over like an arrow. He did not have any weapons, so he just used his fist. He threw a punch at Eli. He was even afraid that he would kill him, so he held back.

The next second.

Bang!

Flesh and blood collided, and the Grand Knight was dumbfounded when he saw that his fist had been blocked by Eli!

What the f * ck was this!

'He blocked it just like that? Aren't you an ordinary person?'

He thought that it was only Eli who wanted to play, but at this moment, he seemed to realize that if he didn't take it seriously, he might really lose.

Immediately, he took a step back, took a deep breath, and pounced on Eli again.

The battle began.

Every Grand Knight had to go through countless trials and tribulations before they could become one. Naturally, they were not bad at close combat either. However, it would be too ridiculous if one thought that Eli was bad. For a full hundred years, even if Eli only trained occasionally, he was still not something that ordinary Knights could compare to.

The Grand Knight felt it too.

Be it speed, strength, or even reaction, Eli completely crushed him. Even the combat techniques that he was so proud of seemed to be seen through in a second, completely useless.

Half an hour later.

The Grand Knight lay on the ground, his eyes dull.

What did he experience?

To be completely demolished by a person without the slightest vitality force, he felt a little doubtful of life.

Wasn't he a Grand Knight?

Aren't Grand Knights the top of the Knights?

He must be dreaming.

He silently closed his eyes, and tears flowed down. This world was too cruel.

"Pull him down." Looking at the man, Wli waved his hand. Then, he thought for a moment and said, "forget it, I'll just bring him to the laboratory. The bloodline experiment just so happens to be lacking people."

He waited until the man was pulled away.

On the other hand, Eli was relaxing his muscles and bones, and he had a deeper understanding of his own body. He could completely beat up a Grand Knight, and his strength and speed should be more than seven to eight times that of a Grand Knight.

This was probably the reason why Saleen metatrin looked down on Knights.

There was no road ahead, and even if he reached the end of the road, it would only be the beginning of a Mage. It was really boring. As for opening up a new path, it was too difficult.

Today's test was almost over, and Eli was ready to return.

He had a lot of work to do next. He should start learning the 1st circle spell models and the advanced knowledge of the 1st circle.

…

Three years later.

Just as he finished learning a new spell, he received a message from Anna.

They had found the ruins.

Taken aback, Eli immediately went straight into the palace and found Anna in one of the rooms.

As Anna was helping Eli manage the country, Eli had given Anna a beauty potion a long time ago. As a result, she still looked like she was in her twenties, and she was still beautiful.

The only thing that had changed was her aura. As the ruler of a massive Empire, Anna also exuded a noble aura, much stronger than Queen Cynthia back then.

Even ordinary people would feel their hearts beating faster and their breathing becoming more rapid if they stood in front of her.

Of course, that was outside.

"Teacher, we've found the ruins," In front of Eli, Queen Anna smiled as if she was really happy.

She would only remove her disguise in front of Eli.

"Where is it?" Eli asked after taking a deep breath.

He had to search for the ruins for decades, but he did not expect to find them in just twenty years. This was a pleasant surprise for him. After all, it was the remains of a Celestial.

"Teacher, do you still remember Duoling? " Anna asked.

"Duo Ling?" Eli raised an eyebrow. "It couldn't be in Duoling, right?"

"That's right. The ruins aren't in Duo Ling, but it's in a Valley a dozen kilometers away from the city." Anna took out the map and showed the location to Eli.

"It's actually here?" Eli looked at the map and his eyes went blank.

He had passed by this place when he was patrolling Duoling, and it was only a few kilometers away.

What was this?

114 Kraken

According to Anna, the discovery of the ruins was a coincidence.

At first, the search team went to investigate a cave in the deep mountains, but they fell into an underground river by accident. The search team was a Knight, so they didn't die in the undercurrent. About ten minutes later, they were washed by the underground river to the valley.

At that time, the search team was also injured and was ready to leave. However, when he reached the valley, they found that it was foggy, but he was not afraid and was ready to go through directly.

And then he got lost.

He was in a daze and didn't understand what was happening. When he reacted again, he was outside the valley. In the fog, there seemed to be snake-like creatures rushing toward him.

Although he was in a daze, he still subconsciously ran away. He ran out of the valley and finally hid in a rock to avoid a giant snake.

"Giant snake?"

Sitting on the huge war chariot that was heading towards the valley, Eli asked Anna, who was beside him in confusion.

On the second day after receiving the news, Eli decided to come and take a look, while Anna offered to follow him.

"yes, teacher. At that time, it was a huge demon snake that was chasing after the knight. It was about ten meters long, with diamond-shaped scales, blood-red eyes, and a purple sarcoma on its head. There were circles of purple-black patterns around its body." Anna brought over a document and reported it to Eli.

Blood-red with sarcoma-pattern…

Eli pondered and soon had an answer.

The giant Kraken serpent!

It is a giant snake-like creature that likes the cold and humidity. Its limit is One circle, and it can grow to more than 20 meters in adulthood. It is as thick as a bucket, and its combat power should be above average among magical beasts of the same level.

And if Eli remembered correctly, giant snakes like this usually lived in groups. It could only be said that the Knight was indeed very lucky to have escaped, to have only encountered one giant snake in the fog. He was simply the chosen one.

"That's a little troublesome." Eli shook her head. Any creature, as long as there were a lot of them, would always be in trouble.

"Is there any other information?" Eli asked again.

"No, teacher, that's all I have," Anna answered obediently.

"well, forget it then. We'll talk about it when we get there." Eli nodded and did not say anything else.

"Teacher, let me give you a massage." Seeing that Eli was silent, Anna stood up and walked over to him in small steps, then gave him a massage.

Eli cast her a glance but did not say anything.

Any outsiders would be so shocked that their jaws would drop if they saw this. After all, who didn't know about Queen Anna's coldness? However, at this moment, she was actually giving Eli a massage so obediently. It was simply unbelievable.

…

Half a month later, Eli and the others arrived at their destination.

Outside the valley.

Eli got out of the carriage right away, while Anna, who was a Grand Knight, walked side by side with him. historical

Behind them, other than Eli's twenty-odd slaves, there were also a few dozen Knight-level death Warriors that Anna had brought with her. They were all trained since they were young and were trustworthy.

In front of the valley.

Eli looked at the smoke-filled Valley in front of him. He was stunned at first. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was thinking about something.

No wonder the Knight was lost.

There was a spell formation set up outside. According to Eli's judgment, this should be a more common fog-locking spell, but it had a huge range, encompassing the entire Valley.

But … Eli took a few steps forward, quickly constructing a spell model in his mind, and his eyes were a little different from what they looked like, a little brighter.

The eye of truth, a first circle spell, could observe the flow of elements, as well as spell formations or natural illusions. It was the most common observation spell.

As soon as the spell was cast, Eli's perspective immediately changed.

Countless elements swirled in the sky, like a colorful picture book, presenting all kinds of strange patterns. If one looked closely, one would realize that these elements were not dense.

In fact, in the past three years of meditation, Eli had completely understood why there were no other mages here other than Saleen metatrin. The main reason was that the concentration of elements was really not enough!

The advancement of a first-circle sorcerer would naturally require a large number of elements to increase the degree of elemental essence conversion. However, the elements in this land were too thin. It was difficult for Eli to break through, and this place could only increase his mental strength to 30% at most. After that, he would have to leave this place.

Of course, this wasn't what Eli should be concerned about right now. He immediately looked into the valley.

The White mist seemed to have the effect of blocking the vision of mental power, but Eli could still see about 70% of the area. This was because as time passed, the spell formation here had either run out of energy or had been weathered and damaged.

What they encountered was the latter. Even by visual inspection, Eli estimated that this place had a history of more than three thousand years.

Otherwise, even if it was just the simplest spell formation, considering that the original owner was a four rings celestial sorcerer, it was not something that Eli could see through.

Soon, Eli discovered the 70% damaged node of the spell formation and walked straight into the mist.

At this moment, the group of Knights was dumbfounded. They did not understand what this person who had followed the Queen here was doing.

But a minute later, everyone seemed to hear the sound of glass breaking. Then, they saw the fog in front of them slowly dissipate, and the entire Valley was revealed to everyone.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

As for Eli, he was standing not far away from them, and beside him was a broken stone pillar.

"The fog is gone?!"

All the Knights looked as if they had seen a ghost. Even Anna raised her eyebrows.

Where was the mist?

What happened to the thick fog just now?

Everyone's eyes were dull as if they didn't understand what had happened.

On the other side, Eli had just destroyed one of the core points of the spell formation. The entrance to the entire Valley was revealed before his eyes.

A dozen meters away.

It was a huge entrance, with towering rocks on both sides. Inside, Eli seemed to see some squirming black shadows, and upon closer inspection, they seemed to be huge snakes.

It was the giant Kraken snake that Eli had guessed.

At this time, because the array had been destroyed, the fog inside had slowly dispersed. The entangled bodies of the giant snakes had also stopped, and they all raised their heads to look at their surroundings.

Where was the mist?

However, it was clear that their poor brains were not developed enough to understand this. However, as if they had sensed the arrival of Eli and the others, they all crawled towards the entrance of the valley.

It was a terrifying scene.

One could imagine the scene of dozens or even hundreds of snakes that were almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl or even as thick as a bucket, squeezing together and crawling toward you. It would directly make the scalps of people with trypophobia and snake phobia go numb.

Meanwhile, Eli just stood there calmly.

After all, he was already a first-circle mage.

He had sensed the presence of the snakes in the mist as soon as he got down. It didn't have the first-circle aura, which was why Eli didn't have any concerns.

He was already a first-circle mage. If he were still afraid of a zero-circle demon Kraken, it would be too embarrassing.

1st circle spell-firestorm.

In his mind, a model that was far more complicated than a zero-circle spell was activated. A ball of fiery red mist slowly appeared in front of him. At the same time, a gust of wind element was activated, and the two began to merge.

In just a few seconds, a cloud of red smoke appeared and flew toward the snakes.

As the red mist swept away, it slowly turned into a tornado, shooting out high-temperature torrents of fire in all directions, smashing into the snakes. Once one of the snakes came into contact with the fire, it immediately let out a painful howl, and its body quickly melted.

The other giant snakes sensed this and immediately dodged in all directions.

However, it was too late. The cloud of fire had already reached the center of the snakes.

It was accompanied by flames that spread rapidly in all directions and a violent explosion.

Most of the giant snakes were instantly surrounded by flames, making crackling sounds. Most of the corpses were either burned to ashes or blown into pieces by the explosion and thrown in all directions.

Ten seconds later, the smoke dispersed, and the ground was charred.

The original group of snakes had already disappeared, and now there was only a pile of snake sticks that had turned into black charcoal.

"It's too much of a waste to use too much power!" Acting cool felt good for a moment, but after that, Eli began to regret it.

The Kraken was a good material. It was a pity to waste them, but it didn't matter. It was a test of his combat effectiveness.

At this time, the group of Knights and Grand Knights in the distance were all scared silly.

Eli's servants were better off, as they knew that their master was not ordinary, but the trusted aides that Anna brought were different. They looked at Eli as if he was a God.

Could such a huge flame really be controlled by humans?

A Knight was puzzled. What was this? How could it be so powerful? could it be that this snake was too fragile? It's only big but fragile?

The Knight frowned and suddenly saw a dried-up snake not far away, seemingly struggling to escape. It seemed to be a giant snake that was on the verge of an explosion.

The Knight took a look, took out a sharp sword, and directly slashed at him.

So many giant snakes had died all at once. How much combat power could a giant snake, that was about to die, have?

Stab!

It was as if he had cut at steel. The Knight looked at the giant snake, which was completely intact. He blinked and wondered what had happened.

The giant snake that was running away was also very confused. It turned its head and looked at the Knight as if it was saying, " are you crazy? "

The next second!

The giant snake bit at the Knight. The man wanted to stop it, but he was pushed to the ground. He was about to be bitten to death in the next second. The man was terrified.

Suddenly, a small fireball quickly flew over, and the giant snake was directly penetrated. Then, with a bang, it exploded, and blood splattered.

At this moment, all the Knights realized how terrifying the snake was. Even a singular snake of the Kraken could kill a Grand Knight.

Their gazes toward Eli also turned to respect and fear.

As for Eli, after checking that all parts of the Kraken were dead, he also stepped into the valley.

Was the secret realm really here?

Report chapter Comments

The valley was actually very safe. Otherwise, how could this Kraken have lived here for so long? moreover, it had been thousands of years. Even if there were any traps in this place, it would have probably rotted away long ago.

This spell formation was practically useless.

He walked into the valley.

It was only then that Eli realized that the inside was much bigger than he had imagined. He could only see a small part of the entrance, but the inside was very large. However, there were rocks everywhere, and only the middle area was an empty space.

At this time, in this empty area, other than some young Kraken snakes, there was only a large number of white bones and corpses piled up on the white ground. At this time, a giant snake at least 15 meters tall was waiting for him.

A Snake King at the limit of zero-circle.

However, Eli wasn't too concerned about him at the moment. His gaze was completely focused on the huge rock wall behind the giant snake.

On the smooth rock wall.

A bronze door was embedded in it, and all kinds of complicated runes were carved on the surface of the door. A faint spatial fluctuation was emitted from it as if it was not in harmony with this world.

Eli guessed that this should be the entrance to the secret plane.

Anna's judgment was right. This was a Mystic realm. Thinking about how he was close to a celestial ruin, even Eli had to take a deep breath to remain calm. Putting everything else aside, just the mystic realm alone was already worth the heavens.

Not to mention the items inside.

Eli looked around before walking towards the bronze door.

The Kraken Snake King, "…"

'Am I air?' He completely ignored me and wriggled his body. He felt like he was being provoked. In the past, he would ruthlessly wrap his prey in such a situation and then slowly crush them to death.

Hiss!

The snake's tongue streaked through the air, and the Snake King's muscles instantly tensed up. Then, it flicked its tongue at Elie.

'Damn human, go to hell!'

The giant snake exuded an instinctive malice and quickly glided towards Eli. He then saw Eli cast him a glance and raise his right hand. The giant snake saw a ring on the man's ring finger as if something was brewing.

The Snake King didn't quite understand what it was, but he still felt his heart palpitate instinctively. He immediately stopped and wanted to Dodge, but the ring seemed to have finished storing power. In the next second, two dazzling lightning pythons appeared and came to him in an instant.

Lightning filled the air, and the Snake King was instantly reduced to ashes.

Even the Snake King died in the end, not understanding what it was! Eli only felt that he had wasted the ring to deal with the Kraken King.

…

After casually testing the effects of the lightning Python ring, Eli stepped on the charred Snake King and came to the metal door.

The bronze door had a special texture to it, and upon closer inspection, Eli realized that the door was probably just an entrance.

He definitely wouldn't have been able to enter when the Celestial was still there, but now that the Celestial had long passed away, he should be able to enter as long as he stimulated a certain amount of mana.

"Do I need to go in?" Eli looked at the door calmly and turned to leave.

It was too dangerous!

This was a celestial realm, and he was only a small mage. If there were any traps inside, it was not something that Eli could deal with. This was really inappropriate. In fact, even a small trap could directly kill Eli!

He shook his head. It was too dangerous.

"Let's think of something."

Although he didn't plan to enter the secret realm for the time being, how could he give up? This was the legacy of a celestial. He couldn't give up on this place.

However, entering the secret plane required mana, which one had to be a mage first.

But other than Eli, were there other mages?

"Where?" Eli shook his head, but he suddenly thought of Weiss.

Weiss?

This guy was also an apprentice, but he was also from this area.

Eli pursed his lips. He seemed to have thought of a way.

Since he wasn't going to enter by himself, why didn't he train some students and let them in? whether it was to wait until the search was over to take the harvest or to explore the danger and enter directly, both were good methods.

"Let's do this!" A smile appeared on Eli's face.

It was impossible for Eli to train people to become official mages, but he could easily take on apprentices.

Furthermore, it wouldn't take long. At most, it would take ten years to train a few students. It would be very easy.

Safety was still the most important.

He walked out of the valley.

"Teacher, how is it? did you find it?" Anna was the first to run over and asked.

"Yes." Eli nodded. "seal this place first, then set up a spell formation to hide this place. We can't explore this place for the time being. We need to make some preparations."

"How long?"

"I don't know!" Eli shook his head. "send the whole troop of this excursion to me. I can't reveal that I'm a wizard yet!"

The warriors were loyal but it was better to brand them with soul imprints.

Anna followed Eli back to the chariot.

"Also, collect some blood from children aged 8 to 12 in Junlin city, no, all the cities near Junlin. I need some students." Eli ordered again.

"Yes," Anna said.

At the moment, everyone who knew about Eli's uniqueness was his servant, so he could be a little more unscrupulous. However, he decided to be more cautious in taking in students.

After all, being a sorcerer was different from the others, and it did not seem to be a righteous profession in the current world.

…

Very quickly.

Under Eli's orders and Anna's command.

Soon, they had collected the blood of all children of age in the nearby cities for Eli.

As for Eli's goal, it was to test if they had the talent to become a wizard.

Soon, out of the 10000 portions of blood, Eli had also successfully found three talented children.

And soon, Eli found out about the three children's information.

One was a beggar, one was a daughter of a noble family, and the last was a thief who had just been caught and sent to prison.

Of course, status didn't matter. To Eli, he only wanted a few tools. As long as they were useful, he didn't care about their looks. As for what would happen after the tools were used up, that was another matter.

He immediately ordered the three children to be brought back.

Something else happened in the process.

…

In a small city a few kilometers away from Jun Lin city.

In the slums.

A group of children was beating up a child.

"Hand over the money, or we'll beat you to death!" A tall child kicked the child under his feet and scolded loudly.

"I won't!"

The one who was beaten up was a boy. He was curled up, holding five copper tarls in his hand. A week ago, there was a blood collection in the city. As long as a child went to donate blood, they could get five copper tars. Then he went too and got the money.

However, the other children found out and came to snatch it.

His parents had died a long time ago, so there was no one to help him.

Seeing that they couldn't get the money, the other children began to pry open his fingers, wanting to take out the money.

"My money!" The boy was desperate and helpless.

Bang!

Suddenly.

A group of people suddenly ran over from a distance. One of them pointed at him and said, "It's him."

A group of Knights immediately ran over.

When the children saw this, they dispersed. The boy was also very confused. However, when he saw the five copper tarls in his hand, he smiled. They weren't snatched away. He kept them and then fainted on the ground.

The unconscious boy was carried by the Knight to the carriage and left.

…

In another city.

In a Castle, a fat man with a big belly sat on a chair. He looked at the little girl opposite him and said in a heavy tone, "daughter, the count likes you very much. I was forced to send you there. Why did you come back?"

Opposite him was an eleven-year-old girl in a white dress. She was crying pitifully.

Last night, when she went to the count's house to attend a banquet, her father actually threw her to the count of his own accord. If she had not taken advantage of the lax security and run out, who knew what she would have gone through that night?

She was already twelve years old, and she understood many things.

Moreover, she was not the biological daughter of the aristocrat but a stepdaughter. She had suffered all kinds of injustice at home. Although the man in front of her was his father in name, she would rather he die.

"I'm telling you, Vivika, this is not up to you to decide." The Viscount looked at the crying girl and slammed the table in anger.

Vivika bit her lips.

She wanted to resist, but she didn't have the ability.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door in the distance was pushed open.

"It's her!" Another person pointed out.

"yes. Hello, Viscount Christie. We need you to cooperate with us on something. We need to take your daughter away. We will explain to you later." The Knight was also very direct.

"get lost. You know that my daughter is the private property of count Corona. You can't take her away." The Viscount was also stunned, but he still tried to find a higher noble to suppress him.

"Count Corona? Then tell him to come to us." The cavalryman laughed.

He slowly walked to the girl's side and said softly, " "Little friend, are you willing to come with us?"

Vivika's tears were still flowing. She had just heard her father's words, so she said, "I'm willing to."

"That's good." The Knight nodded and was about to leave with the girl.

"Damn it, reis!" The Viscount was furious. He was beyond furious.

He had an advanced Knight with him.

Ries, who had been following behind, rushed out. However, when he saw the man holding the girl's hand, he was stunned.

Grand Knight. The whole group was comprised of Grand Knights.

"Go!" The Viscount continued to shout.

Ries's throat moved slightly.

Just like that, the girl was taken away.

…

And in a certain prison.

A 12-year-old boy who had just been arrested was suddenly released. He was also taken out of the prison and headed to Jun Lin.

In the future, they would become Eli's students. historical

After becoming an apprentice, they would explore the secret plane for Eli.

Report chapter Comments

And then, Eli saw the three children.

One was dressed in tattered clothes, but his eyes were bright. One was wearing a small white dress, looking pitiful. The last one was always hunched over, looking sneaky.

These were the three people with the mage's talent that Eli had chosen.

"From today onwards, the three of you will be my students. You will inherit a part of my legacy and explore a ruin for me." Eli was very clear. "Oh right, let me introduce myself. I'm Layton, a level 3 acolyte." Eli added.

At first, Eli wanted to say that he was a mage, but after some thought, he decided to be more cautious. After all, he was not facing Knights, but future wizard apprentices.

"Alright, teacher!"

Before they came, someone had already explained the situation to them. Eli thought he would encounter trouble, but he didn't expect the three of them to agree so easily.

…

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within three years, the three children had all become Level 1 apprentices, and Eli had also taught them some zero-circle spells.

Among them, David's progress was the fastest. David was the child from the slums, and his mental strength was already at 5.6. It seemed that his mental strength was quite high, so the effect of meditation was very good. He was a good seedling.

Vivika, in her little white dress, was slightly slower and followed closely behind. She did not seem to have much interest in witchcraft, but she was very interested in bloodlines. At the age of fifteen, she was already acting as Eli's assistant, which reduced a lot of his work.

As for the third child, he was called Rob. He liked to play tricks. Eli was speechless too so he just let him be. At this moment, he suddenly felt the pain that his teacher had once felt.

The three acolytes had long since been planted with the upgraded version of the soul brand by Eli. Soul enslavement, a 1st circle spell, had a much stronger binding force than the soul brand.

And for safety reasons, Eli had used two years to modify this spell, making it one-way. Other than having strict requirements, the enslaved were not allowed to reveal any information about Eli by any means. They could not even sense any of Eli's condition.

In the original spell, the servant could sense if the master was still alive, but Eli had modified it into a completely one-way thing. Only Eli could contact them and not the other way around.

Even if they were to remove the spell in the future, it would have no effect on Eli.

This was very important. He could not let anyone know his specific condition.

Only Anna knew a bit about it. These students didn't.

"come on, Vivika. I'll teach you how to modify your body today." In the laboratory, Eli called Vivika over. She was already a beautiful lady by now, and her smile was always sweet. As for her disgusting Viscount father, Eli helped to get rid of him.

"Thank you, teacher." Vivika smiled.

At that moment, David, who was working seriously not far away, and Rob, who was slacking off, glanced at them and then lowered their heads again.

One was working while the other was slacking off.

Eli was waiting for them to become Level 2 acolytes before they went to check out the secret plane.

…

Year 403 of the bryne calendar.

On this day.

The 22-year-old Vivika tidied up her clothes and prepared to go to the laboratory as usual. She liked her current life very much.

Compared to the abnormal life in her house as the stepdaughter, this was heaven. She could eat anything she wanted, and the conditions were excellent.

As for the soul bind, Vivika didn't mind.

It was Mr. Layton who gave her everything and saved her from her past life.

On the way, she met David and Rob.

David was now 1.9 meters tall, tall, and handsome. His mental power level was the highest among the three of them, reaching 11.2. It had been a year since he became a level 2 apprentice. Vivika made her breakthrough last month. Only Rob's mental power was only 8.0 at the moment. The difference between him and the other two was huge. He was completely lazy.

"Vivika, what do you think the teacher called us for?" David asked curiously when he saw Vivika.

"I don't know!" Vivika shook her head.

They had nothing to do today, but they were suddenly called over.

"what could it be? It is probably work. I was at Liu Ying alley today, but I was suddenly called back." Rob didn't care.

Vivika and David looked at each other helplessly.

Rob's talent might be the highest among the three, but his spiritual power was the lowest.

Soon, they met their teacher.

"Teacher!" The three of them bowed.

"No need. How long has it been since I accepted you as my student?" Eli asked as he cast a glance at them.

"It's been ten years." Vivika was the first to answer.

"Well, it's about time. I need you to help me with something today." Eli ordered calmly.

"I'll do as you say, teacher."

At this time, the three of them felt that something big had happened.

"very good. I need you to help me check out a secret realm!" A smile appeared on Eli's face.

It had been ten years, and it was time to reap the rewards.

Level 2 acolytes were more or less ready to enter the plane. As for Rob, who had not broken through, it was not up to Eli. After all, Eli was not a philanthropist. Rob had to blame himself for not working hard.

"A secret realm?"

The three of them were puzzled again.

…

Ten years had passed by the time Eli returned to the valley.

"Teacher, is this the secret plane you were talking about?" Vivika stood behind her and asked.

Eli nodded. historical

The bronze gate was still the same, but ten years had passed.

"Just activate your mental power and you can go in. I'll plant a spiritual power seed in your minds." Eli said calmly.

The spiritual power seed allowed him to see images when the three of them were inside.

"Alright," he said. The three of them nodded. Rob was a little unwilling, but he had no choice.

"Then let's go in." Eli didn't waste any time. At this point, he no longer had any reason to hide.

David and Vivika had complete trust in Him, so they walked over and placed their hands on the bronze door. With a flash of magic, they disappeared in front of the bronze door.

Rob, on the other hand, stared at the bronze door, not daring to move forward for a long time.

"Go!" Eli pushed him over.

To his surprise, Rob also activated his mental power and disappeared before Eli's eyes.

…

"cough, cough, cough!"

"Where is this place?"

In the previous second, David was still in the valley, but in the next second, he appeared in a garden.

David shook his head and looked around.

It was a garden, but it seemed to be in ruins. There was dust everywhere, and there were also withered flowers. Not far away were a few small paths and a flower bed, leading to who knew where.

"What should I do?" David was a little confused.

He subconsciously wanted to look around, and then he found that there was really nothing here. However, there was a cloth doll in a flower bed not far away. It was a bear, and it only had one eye, which looked a little scary.

"Forget it, let's just ignore it." David shook his head, then walked towards a small path.

"Hehe!"

What David didn't notice was that right after he left …

The gray rag doll's remaining eyes lit up, and a translucent body slowly squeezed out of the eyes and followed them into the path.

…

On the other side.

Vivika shook her head and looked around.

The area she was in now was like a prison. It was very large and had many levels, just like an upside-down tower. She was at the bottom level, and not far away was a huge prison.

"Forget it. I should just leave." Vivika glanced at it but didn't seem to see anything, so she turned around and walked up the stairs not far away.

Walking on both sides, Vivika was also observing the surroundings.

She realized that this place was supposed to be a prison, or rather, a prison for magical beasts.

In the cells on both sides, one could clearly see white bones. Most of them were large, and from the remains of the white bones, most of them were at least one circle.

And they seemed to have died inside the cells.

Vivika walked up the stairs.

Vivika kept going up.

At this moment, in the lowest cell.

This was a completely dark prison. Because it was at the bottom, there was no light at all. At this time, a large shadow gathered, and a pair of vertical pupils appeared in the shadow.

"A mage apprentice?"

"Has this place been discovered?" The owner seemed to be a little surprised, but he could not hide the strong excitement in his eyes.

It was finally here.

Damn it, the celestial had been dead for thousands of years, and he had been trapped here for thousands of years.

He used to be a four-circle Master of the World, but now his aura had dropped to two-circle. He had to constantly consume his own power to survive. What he had was only his noble bloodline and knowledge.

For some reason, he didn't even dare to break through this prison.

But now, someone had finally come.

"There's hope when there's someone." Its eyes slowly sank into the shadows. This was the happiest day it had had in thousands of years.

…

Rob looked at the tall magic plants around him, and his throat moved slightly.

Where was this place?

The Botanical Garden?

It was like the jungle, and Layton didn't give him any hints.

'What a trashy teacher.' If he hadn't been dragged out of prison, he wouldn't have acknowledged Eli as his teacher. He had no choice back then, and he had always hated this teacher.

He yearned for a free life, not some Bullsh*t truth.

"Forget it. Let's go." Rob really didn't want to come in. He sighed and decided to leave this place first. After all, this place didn't look like a good place.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound. Rob was stunned. A shield appeared beside him, and then he looked around.

There was nothing.

Where was it?

Suddenly, Rob seemed to have realized something and lowered his head to look.

A vine had already climbed onto his leg.

Gulp!

He broke out in a cold sweat.

Report chapter Comments

Rob was dead!

…

Just as the three of them entered.

Eli was also observing from the outside through his spiritual force seed. Actually, he wanted to communicate with them, but it seemed like they were not in the same dimension, so they could not communicate at all.

"David is in the garden, and Vivika seems to be in prison. As for Rob, he's in a garden." Eli observed three directions at the same time, memorizing everything.

However, at this moment, he realized that there seemed to be a problem on Rob's side.

Rob was currently running around the Botanical Garden in a frenzy. He was surrounded by a large number of vines. Rob kept attacking his surroundings, but the vines were in hot pursuit.

A large number of vines?

Eli was stunned when he saw this scene because it was actually very rare for plants to have consciousness. Most plants did not have consciousness at all, even if it was high-level plant.

The vines seemed to be creatures from zero circle that had completely occupied the area.

As he watched Rob escape frantically, Eli's mood relaxed.

First of all, he could rule out that the Botanical Garden was safe.

After all, it was impossible for other creatures to exist in a place occupied by the zero circle vines on such a large scale. As he watched Rob being swallowed by the plants, there was nothing he could do to help.

If he was a level 2 wizard apprentice, he might have a chance, but a level 1 wizard apprentice would never have a chance.

In just a dozen seconds, Rob's connection was cut off.

Rob was the first to die.

On the other two sides.

David seemed to be in trouble.

…

"Damn it, damn it!"

In the small path, David frowned, unable to find his way.

He had been walking around for half an hour, but he was still there. He had no choice but to stop. What was wrong?

David's mental power slowly quieted down, and a faint power began to emit. This was a mental detection technique that he had created himself, which allowed him to see many things that he could not.

Suddenly, he realized that a translucent object was following closely behind him.

Undead?

David was stunned, but he quickly recognized the creature. historical

The undead wasn't much of a threat to an official wizard, but to an ordinary apprentice, it was deadly. It would be very dangerous for an ordinary apprentice to encounter the undead.

However, he still had his ways…

David took a deep breath and instantly pounced forward.

At the same time, a fireball flew straight at the spirit.

Bang!

The flames exploded.

The undead was instantly enveloped in flames, and David was also blown away by the impact because he was too close!

Painful howls were heard, and the undead let out shrill cries. David tried his best to cover his ears, but he could not help but bleed. It was really difficult to withstand the mental attack.

Fortunately, the undead was still a zero-circle creature. Otherwise, his head would have been blown off.

However, David was not in the mood to pay attention to this at the moment. He stared at the undead, wanting to see how it was doing. However, as the flames dissipated, he saw that the undead was only a little illusory.

The fireball did almost no damage.

David sighed.

In fact, ever since he became an apprentice, he had discovered that he had a special talent, which was that his mental strength naturally had a very strong sealing ability. However, he had never revealed it.

Today, it seemed that he had no choice but to reveal it.

David sighed and then opened his arms.

When the spirit saw him like this, it seemed to be even more excited. It howled and attacked him.

The sharp, translucent claws approached David as if they were going to tear him apart in the next second. However, in the next second, a special rune appeared in David's eyes. At the same time, the air around him became illusory, and everything began to distort.

A run appeared and covered the spirit in an instant. Then, in the blink of an eye, the spirit disappeared from his sight.

Sealing the undead seemed to have taken a lot of his strength, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.

However, with the disappearance of the undead, the path in front of them was finally clear, revealing a Castle not far away.

"What is this?"

…

"Is that an ability rune?"

On the other side, Eli's eyes widened as he witnessed the scene just now.

The ability rune was a very special type of rune. Some extremely talented Magi might have it, and it often had power that far exceeded ordinary runes. Every ability rune was extremely precious.

Saleen metatrin's books mentioned that the number of mages who possessed ability runes was one in ten thousand.

He did not expect David to have such a talent.

Eli was a little envious. After all, it was a precious thing.

However, it was better to wait for David to come out first.

Of the three, Vivika was the luckiest. She didn't encounter any danger along the way and walked straight out.

What was more interesting was that she saw David lying not far away as soon as she came out.

The prison was right next to the garden.

"It seems that the danger here is very low!"

Outside, Eli shook his head. Although the three of them looked like they were in danger, if a first circle Mage went in, there would be no danger at all.

The vines could be dealt with a fireball, and the spirits could be dealt with easily.

If there really wasn't any danger, then Eli really didn't know what to say. After all, before entering, no one knew what was going on inside. It was just a coincidence that the two students were safe.

So he wasted ten years. That was nothing.

…

"David, are you okay?"

When David woke up, he saw Vivika beside him.

"That was close." Seeing that it was Vivika, David shook his head to relieve the intense pain in his head. The seal just now had exceeded the scope of his ability. If there were any other undead, he would be dead.

David took a moment to recover, then got up on his own and saw the castle not far away.

"What is that?" David asked.

"I don't know. I saw the castle when I came out of the prison. I don't know what it is!" Vivika shook her head, and then asked with concern, "David, are you okay?"

"It's fine. I'll go there and take a look after I rest for a while." David shook his head. He knew that everything was being seen by Eli.

Up until now, how could they not understand why Eli was taking in a disciple? However, they did not have any complaints. After all, if it weren't for Eli back then, they might not have been able to live until now.

Half an hour later.

The two of them looked at each other and then walked towards the castle.

The journey was relatively smooth, and the two of them soon arrived in front of the castle.

This was an ancient castle that occupied a large area. What was even more outrageous was that the door was open, and there were some other things placed in the ancient castle.

A huge photostone was placed in it.

Through his spiritual force seed, Eli saw this scene and was also stunned.

If he was not mistaken, the items in the castle were books and some black stones, which should be magic stones, the currency of the mages.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Even Eli was stunned.

However, it wasn't just Eli who was dumbfounded. David and Vivika were also in a daze.

Shouldn't the path ahead be filled with danger? They should have gone through many dangers to get what their teacher wanted, but now, it seemed that everything was in the castle.

What was the meaning of this?!

At this moment, he seemed to have felt something.

The photostone suddenly flashed, and an illusionary scene slowly appeared.

An old man slowly appeared on the screen. He was wearing a gray mage's robe, and there was no light in his eyes as if his life was coming to an end. In his right hand, there was a magic staff.

He looked ahead as if he was lamenting and sorrowful.

Then, he glanced at Vivika and David, who had arrived, and frowned in dissatisfaction. However, he seemed to have sensed the mental energy seeds in their heads.

His eyes immediately lit up.

At the same time, Vivika and David felt dizzy. When they came back to their senses, they had already returned to the valley. There was nothing in front of them, not even the bronze door. Even their teacher, Layton, had disappeared.

Vivika: "…"

David: "…"

The two of them looked at each other. What had happened? How did they get out?

And most importantly, where was their teacher?

…

Just a few seconds ago.

Eli was originally watching this scene through his spiritual force seed, wanting to see what it was.

Suddenly, he saw the old man on the screen glance at him, and then his eyes lit up.

Eli was shocked because he had a strange feeling that this old man seemed to be looking at him.

Eli felt that something was amiss and immediately prepared to cut off the connection, but in the next second, the bronze door was instantly activated. Eli did not even last a second before he was sucked away by the bronze door.

So, when Eli felt a dizzying sense of spatial transfer, his mental strength stabilized, and he found himself standing outside the castle, where Vivika and David were last seen.

At this moment, the old man in the image on the photostone finally smiled.

"Hello!" The corner of Eli's mouth twitched.

"Hello!" The old man in the photostone replied with a smile.

He looked harmonious, but Eli took a deep breath. This time, he might have seen a ghost.

A photostone was a common item used to store images in the mage's world. Generally speaking, it was not very precious, but it was rare to see a photostone as big as this one.

A photostone was mainly used to record stuff but what was the old man recording?

Could this be the original owner of the arcane realm, the great celestial sorcerer? Eli suddenly felt that he was not cautious enough. He didn't enter the secret realm, but he was sucked in instead.

"Hello, I'm the master of this place, Nick Zimerman, Five-circle celestial sorcerer." The old man spoke again.

Eli was numb!

What's going on? Is the celestial mage still alive?

Report chapter Comments

"Hello, I'm first circle sorcerer Eli Lucifer."

If the five circle celestial sorcerer in front of him were still alive, then everything Eli did would be meaningless. In front of such a powerful existence, everything was futile.

This was also the first time Eli felt his life being threatened.

However, the mage said that he was a five-circle, but Saleen metatrin said that this was a four-circle mage ruin. Something wasn't right.

"You're very nervous!" As if sensing the change in Eli, Nick said calmly, "There's no need to worry. This is just a wisp of my true spirit. The real me has long since been reduced to dust in the passage of time."

He was dead!

Eli heaved a sigh of relief and then said respectfully, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Although he was relaxed, he still had to be polite. After all, even if it was a true spirit, he felt that it had the power to crush him.

"Didn't you come for my inheritance?" Nick was very open-minded and cast a glance at Eli.

Eli: "…"

It was hard to say if he wasn't. This was indeed his goal.

"Relax, everything I had is behind me. However, there's not much left in these ruins. The main thing is that I've basically used up everything that can be used here, leaving only some useless things." Nick saw that Eli seemed to be in a good mood, so he generously showed off the things behind him.

Among them were some books, strange items, and some materials that seemed to be of considerable value.

Nick was overjoyed, but Eli was puzzled. Shouldn't there be a test of some sort? Were all celestial mages like this?

Eli felt that he was too prejudiced. He thought he had to go through many challenges before he could get the treasure. However, the celestial mage was ready to hand it away.

"Sir, why are you willing to give me your inheritance?" This was the question that puzzled him the most.

"Because you're a mage. You should be thankful. If you were a Warlock, I would've crushed you into minced meat the moment you came in." Nick said the most ruthless words in a calm tone.

Why did everyone have negative opinions about warlocks? They were not polite at all, and they were expressing their disgust toward warlocks.

"Can you tell me what happened? Why do you hate warlocks so much?" He asked curiously.

"Don't you know?" Nick was surprised.

Eli almost vomited blood. He had been in the kingdom of Knights his entire life, so how would he know? However, he still said politely, "My Lord, I was born here and had my mage's breakthrough here. In other words, you are the first official Mage I have communicated with!"

Nick was speechless.

"You broke through in this horrible place?" Nick's mouth was wide open. Although he only had a trace of his true soul, he could still sense the outside environment.

Eli had grown into a first-circle sorcerer in a place with scarce resources and elements.

"You're a true genius!" Nick's gaze towards Eli changed as he said sternly.

The corner of Eli's mouth twitched. Genius? a genius who took more than a hundred years to break through to One Circle?

"Since you don't know anything, I'll tell you about it. I'll tell you about that period of time, which was the period of the great catastrophe!" Nick shook his head and waved the staff in his right hand. The scene in front of Eli's eyes began to change.

Eli knew it was an illusion, but he didn't stop it.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before his eyes changed. Eli had already arrived in the sky, and there was a huge piece of land under his feet. He recognized it as the knight's world.

"This is the central continent, the most prosperous place in the mage world." Nick pointed at the continent.

The scene zoomed in and showed the continent.

Eli looked up at the sky. There were many huge floating islands. No, they were made of metal. They were floating fortresses made by alchemy.

"This is the floating city, and it's also a tool that we often use to conquer other worlds." Nick continued.

Eli was watching from the side. He finally understood something. The mages left, and the knights inherited the world he was currently in.

In the fortress, the mages were ready to go. Their terrifying auras spread throughout the world. With a wave of spatial fluctuations, the fortress disappeared into the sky and set off for the endless world.

"They've gone to battle other worlds again. I really miss that time. At that time, the Mage world was so powerful, and its name spread throughout the multiverse. We were the Masters of truth, the representatives of fear!" Nick reminisced as he watched the scene.

Eli was also looking forward to it. Such a world was indeed filled with a different kind of charm!

but … suddenly, the scene in front of him changed.

This time, countless floating-space cities set off once again. Their destination was also the endless world, but the people in the floating-space cities were carrying large and small bags with their own things. historical

The powerful fourth and fifth circle Magi were squeezed together. This time, it was not a battle but an escape.

"the world has changed because of an accident. I can't tell you about this accident because it's too early for you. In short, it's an accident that made the mage world unsuitable for mages to live in." Nick's face was filled with sorrow. "After the accident, as long as you're a mage in the mage world, then you'll find that your life force is depleting very abnormally. The higher your level, the faster your life force depletes.

"Therefore, the mages left this world, heading to the endless world in search of other places to survive.

"Only a small number of mages were willing to stay. A small portion of them was unwilling to leave, while a large portion of them did not have the ability to leave.

"Therefore, they had to find a new way to live. It just so happened that warlocks had a longer life span, so many people chose to become warlocks. This was not a big deal, but as time passed, more and more warlocks appeared, and they gradually gave up on the meaning of being a mage.

"They rely on their bloodlines, but they forget that they are Magi. They increase their strength but forget their will to pursue the truth. I am a Mage, so I hate these warlocks." After Nick finished speaking, the image disappeared.

He took a deep breath.

"So that's how it is!" Eli finally understood everything.

His previous doubts were instantly dispelled. No wonder mages looked down on warlocks.

"that's why you should feel lucky that you are a mage. My knowledge will not be given to those warlocks who only know how to explore the power of bloodlines." Nick said with a smile.

He was indeed lucky!

If not for his long lifespan, he might have really chosen the path of a Warlock.

"This is the reason why I'm willing to give you my inheritance." Nick explained. "it's mainly because I don't want my legacy to be broken. It's been thousands of years, and there must be fewer and fewer mages now. Since you choose the path of a mage, it means you're a man who desires the truth." Nick stroked his beard and praised.

Eli nodded. This was indeed the case.

"but remember, the mages are not dead. They have only left temporarily. They are everywhere. One day, when they return, this multiverse will once again remember the power of the mage world." Nick continued, his calm tone filled with endless longing.

The mages had only left, not died.

They had only dispersed.

But they were still everywhere.

From his simple words, Eli could hear his confidence in the mage civilization.

"but if there's a chance, you should leave this world. This place is no longer suitable for mages." Nick shook his head and said in sorrow.

Hope was hope, and reality was reality.

Eli nodded.

Wait… why would he leave?

The Magi had left, so it was impossible for them to take everything they had left behind. There must be a large number of Magus inheritances in the Mage world or good things that could not be taken away.

Warlocks might not be able to use it, but he could!

Eli was dumbfounded, feeling that he was a genius for his sudden idea.

High-level mages could not come back, or even if they did, they had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, their life force would be greatly damaged. But Eli did not care!

He was immortal.

Eli didn't know how great the legacy of civilization was, but he knew that even if he could only take over a portion of it, it was enough for him to grow.

"No, I still want to stay in this world," Eli said to Nick.

"it seems like you and I are the same kinds of people, both deeply in love with this world." Nick was stunned as well, and he looked at Eli with even more admiration.

He loved the mage world.

So even if he had the ability to leave at that time, he still stayed here.

But he didn't expect that the young wizard he would meet thousands of years later would share the same ideal, which made him very surprised.

"Very good. It seems that my inheritance will not be wasted." Nick nodded and said, "my inheritance is mainly divided into three parts. The first is a medium-grade meditation technique, which will be of great help to your meditation speed. The second is my unique knowledge, life extraction, which is also called extraordinary extraction. The third part is this secret realm, which you can use as a storage place."

As time passed, Nick's body became more and more illusory. He knew that he didn't have much time left and couldn't chat blindly.

On the other hand, Eli nodded his head, feeling very happy as well. The inheritance of a celestial mage was definitely much stronger than Saleen Metatrin.

"very good. Those things are useless, so don't mind them. I'll directly transmit the most important things to you through my mind." Nick pointed at the resources in the castle not far away.

He didn't want to give out his core inheritance originally, but Elin was really to his liking. He was a genius, and a mage like Eli was worthy of his inheritance!

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

In the next second, Nick touched Eli's head, and at the same time, a large amount of information poured into his consciousness.

At the same time.

In the shadow of the underground prison, the eyes opened again, revealing the cold vertical pupils.

"Has the inheritance ceremony started?"

"Soon…"

His eyes went back into the darkness. The reason why he didn't dare to break out of prison was because of the spirit of the celestial mage.

Once the spirit disappeared…

119 Shadow Dragon

Mental power transmission was the fastest of all transmissions. It could completely transmit the original owner's perception, understanding, and knowledge to the other party, but few people would use it because it would damage the receiver. However, Nick didn't care about that at the moment.

The first thing that was transmitted was a meditation technique.

The tidal sea meditation technique.

The intermediate-level meditation technique was bound to be of a much higher quality than the basic meditation technique.

A basic meditation technique could only be used up to the second circle because its simple structure could not support a large amount of mental power. The better ones were the low-level, medium-level, and high-level meditation techniques.

Normally, intermediate meditation techniques wouldn't be taught to outsiders, but since the world was already in this state, Nick made an exception.

Eli quickly checked this new meditation technique, even if it was just a rough estimate, it was at least twice as fast as before.

That was why knowledge was the source of power.

After the transmission of the meditation technique, it was time for the special knowledge that Nick had mentioned.

Life extraction or transcendence extraction.

This was the unique knowledge that Nick had combined with his own studies. By using a special structure, one could fully stimulate the vitality of plants or the characteristics of extraordinary materials. It was the dream of alchemists.

Nick was just unlucky. If he had made this discovery when the mage world was still around, he would have been famous.

There was a lot of content in this part, and it took Nick half an hour to finish transmitting it.

At this point, all of his core inheritances had been transmitted.

After the transmission, Eli opened his eyes again half an hour later.

He had no choice, the aftereffects were too strong.

Looking at Nick again, he was also much weaker.

"there's no need to look over there. It's just some useless things. Some magic crystals, some first circle Books, and some materials." Nick continued when he saw that Eli had woken up.

In fact, he had almost used up everything and only had some leftovers.

As for why there were only books of the first circle, it was mainly because he felt that there was a high chance that the people who would come here would be first circle mages, so he didn't prepare any other books.

From his point of view, once a person became an official mage, one had to rely on oneself. Only by constantly pursuing the truth would one be able to obtain true power.

As soon as Eli recovered from the transmission, he was slightly disappointed.

But fortunately, this time, Eli had already gained a lot, and he wasn't that greedy.

Meditation techniques, life extraction, secret manuals, and wealth.

Such a harvest was a lot for a Mage.

"Yes, my aura is about to disappear, so after I die, the ruins will be yours." Nick's aura dissipated bit by bit, but he glanced into the distance and smiled. "Goodbye.

"Mages will never die because the truth is eternal. It's a pity that I won't be able to see the day when the mage World returns." Nick said with a sigh.

Eli also felt a wave of sadness.

Nick's aura also started to disappear bit by bit, and in just a few seconds, he was gone without a trace.

"Even the final celestial mage is gone?" Eli sighed.

However, at this moment, a Dragon's Roar suddenly came from the distance.

The terrifying sound seemed to come from underground, and it was a little dull.

Eli's heart skipped a beat.

The aura of a second circle?

He looked toward the source of the sound. If he remembered correctly, it should be the location of the prison.

…

At this moment, in prison.

Bang!

As Nick's spirit disappeared, countless shadows appeared at the bottom of the prison. A dragon-like creature slowly stepped out of the shadows.

It was a typical Western Dragon-type creature. It had a body of pitch-black scales, golden vertical pupils, and two huge wings on its back. Around it was countless shadows intertwining and blending.

"I, Shadow Dragon Chris, have returned." The shadow roared and stood in prison.

In the next second, countless shadows rushed toward the cage. With a bang, the cage was instantly broken open. Chris took a look and flew out of the tower.

After waiting for a few thousand years, he finally got the chance.

"Let's kill a bug to liven things up."

He flapped his wings and flew into the sky. Then, he glanced at the prison behind him and roared again.

Looking around, he saw Eli at the castle Gate.

Like a bolt of lightning, the shadow Dragon flew towards the castle.

The sudden attack sent shivers down Eli's spine. The gigantic Shadow Dragon should be a second circle being, but its massive aura did not seem like one at all.

Under such circumstances.

All he could do was activate all his defenses.

1st circle spell-Elemental Shield, 1st circle spell-thorn shield, 1st circle spell-wind wall, 1st circle spell-gentle water mist

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight shields had already been placed on the outside of Eli's body. Layer after layer, they directly covered his body.

Chris's dragon eyes were also stunned by this scene. Why would a first-circle sorcerer learn so many defensive spells?

However, Eli was still not his match.

He let out a roar and then accelerated again.

In mid-air, he clawed.

The sharp dragon claws cut through the air, and the shadows attached to them corroded the surrounding air, making hissing sounds. Three dark crescent moons flew towards Eli.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow attack had already arrived in front of Eli and touched his shield.

The sound of his shields shattering rang out, and each shield was like paper. At this moment, Eli finally understood how terrifying the creature in front of him was. He immediately took a step back and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth.

However, the shadow Dragon had already gotten even closer.

"Go to hell, you damned Mage!" Chris let out a cruel smile.

He was going to vent his anger on this weak little wizard.

At that moment, he was less than fifty meters away from Eli. Such a distance was like being right in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, the photostone not far away emitted a blinding light, and a figure slowly appeared again.

"I was waiting for you."

Nick was wearing a wizard's robe and holding a magic staff in his right hand. He looked at Chris calmly and then waved his magic staff!

In an instant, countless chains appeared out of thin air in the sky and wrapped themselves around Chris. The shadow Dragon's huge body was directly trapped in the Sky.

"Nick, you old man." Chris was also confused by the sudden restraint. However, he immediately understood when he saw Nick. He had been tricked.

This old man had hidden another spirit in the photostone, or it could be said that his true spirit had not dissipated before.

Even after thousands of years, they could still predict what would happen. These damn mages.

"Eli, this is my final gift to you, the bloodline of the shadow Dragon.

"Shadow Dragons are the best at hiding and camouflaging. They can easily imitate the fluctuations of other creatures and camouflage them. This way, you'll have a much easier time in this world." Nick turned his head and said to Eli as if he had not heard Chris' words.

The corners of Eli's mouth twitched.

This turn of events was truly out of his expectations.

But where did this Shadow Dragon come from?

"Nick, don't get too cocky. Do you think I didn't know you had a backup plan?" Chris, who was Trapped in the Sky, roared angrily when he heard Nick's voice.

He had been trapped for more than three thousand years after Nick's death!

After three thousand years, he naturally thought that Nick might have a backup plan. After all, he was once a four-circle creature!

Chris took a deep breath, and large shadows appeared around his body. Today, he was going to burn what little life he had left to find a chance to survive in this world.

In an instant, his aura continued to rise.

Second circle.

Three circle.

After his aura rose to three circle, it grew much faster, but it still rose steadily. A few seconds later, the aura of three circle was broken.

Four circle. historical

He opened his huge Dragon mouth and stared with his dragon eyes. He let out a cruel voice and said, "Watch me tear you guys apart!"

??

Even Nick didn't expect Chris to be so crazy.

Chris used to be an extremely calm creature. Now that he had become like this, it was a little troublesome.

Chris advanced to the fourth-circle level when he was only 2000 years old and was captured by Nick, who came from another world. He was then trapped in a small cell for 4000 years.

That was four thousand years!

If he had not burned his power, he would have died inside.

"Go to hell!" Chris, who had returned to the fourth circle, broke through the chains. The chains that filled the sky turned into runes and disappeared. He then charged toward Nick's soul.

The battle began.

This was also the first time Eli had witnessed a battle between celestials. Although the two of them were in a much-weakened state, it was still extremely terrifying.

Nick cast a shield over Eli and threw him somewhere else in the arcane realm.

"Where is this place?"

After being thrown out, Eli realized that he was no longer in the same place as before but in the prison that Vivika had been to before.

Eli was dumbfounded. 'Why didn't you just send me out of the secret plane? This place is still dangerous!'

Well, at least he was sent away from the battle. After all, even if it was a battle between two weakened celestials, it was enough to annihilate Eli in the aftermath.

"Forget it. Let's just wait." Eli shook his head.

One man and one dragon, they were already at their limits.

The battle would be over in a short while.

If the Magic Dragon wins, it's over for Eli, and if Nick wins …

120 Eli's Departure

The battle on the ground was intense, and below the ground, Eli was waiting anxiously.

Eli was at the bottom of the prison, and from time to time, he could hear intense explosions coming from the outside world. The terrifying elemental fluctuations caused the entire prison to tremble from time to time. They were just two weakened versions of celestials, but their power was still beyond Eli's imagination.

Time slowly passed.

Eli waited anxiously, and after about three hours, the ground gradually fell silent.

"Who won? What's going on? " hearing that there was no movement outside, Eli asked.

!!

Just as he was about to go out and check, suddenly, Eli felt the space around him change again. His eyes widened, and the next second, he was teleported away again.

When he came to his senses, Eli had appeared in the castle again.

However, the castle had long disappeared without a trace, leaving only a ground full of gravel. The area within a few hundred meters was also in ruins. The soil was tumbling, and the earth was cracked. It looked extremely miserable.

At the moment, Eli was standing on the ruins of the castle, and beneath his feet were large pieces of broken rocks. In the distant sky, Nick's figure was already extremely illusory, and on the ground not too far away from him, a shadow was bound by who knew how many chains.

The demonic Dragon was in an extremely miserable state. Half of its right wing had disappeared, and most of its black scales had been shattered. One of its eyes was also black, while the other was tightly shut. More than ten chains had pierced through its body, trapping it on the ground.

Without a doubt, the demonic Dragon had lost.

"Ahem, Eli." In the sky, Nick slowly descended. His figure flickered as if he was about to collapse.

"Celestial sorcerer." Eli immediately walked over.

"I've lost!"

Nick's first sentence numbed Eli a little.

???

What about the mystic Dragon lying on the ground?

As if he knew what Eli was thinking, Nick shot him a glance and said, "we've both suffered heavy losses. I've used my energy grid line chains to trap him temporarily. But, the moment I dissipate, he'll be able to escape. I don't have much time left.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give you this secret plane. You have five days to escape. I can hold on for another five days. After five days, the energy grid line chains will lose their support and disappear instantly.

"I've underestimated him this time."

Eli coughed. This turn of events had happened too quickly. One second, he was still happily preparing to receive the inheritance and arcane realm, and the next second, he had to leave this place and escape.

"I won't let him run away. I've already memorized his smell. When I get out of here, I'll catch him immediately and kill him. Your inheritance will end here." Suddenly, the shadow Dragon in the distance opened his only remaining eye and glared at Nick.

"I'm sorry!" Upon hearing this, Nick turned to face Eli and apologized.

This time, it was his mistake.

"Oh, right. Do you still have magic crystals? If you have magic stones, you can leave some here to sustain the chain for a while longer." Nick asked.

"I don't have any!" Eli shook his head in embarrassment.

If there were magic stones here, they would have been excavated by Magi long ago.

"That's true." Nick fell into silence. After a while, he spoke again, "I'm sorry," he said.

Nick apologized again, but Eli wasn't in the mood to think about that right now. He was about to face a four-circle Shadow Dragon that had recovered. How could he possibly run away?

He had to think of other ways.

Did Nick just mention the magic stone?

Wait a minute. The magic stone didn't have much magic power. Could it be enough to trap the shadow Dragon? He immediately raised his head and asked Nick, "Is the magic stone enough to maintain this chain?"

"Of course. After all, it's the chain of rules that traps the dragon and not the stone. As long as there is mana support, the chain will be there." Nick explained, but his heart was filled with sorrow.

Because of his mistake back then, the inheritor that he had found with great difficulty was about to die.

All the melancholy turned into a sigh.

On the other hand, Eli's eyes lit up when he heard Nick's words, and he hurriedly asked, " Sir, then I'll stay here and come in once a day, injecting some mana into the chains every day."

"Nonsense," Nick cast a glance at Eli and continued, " I used the power of rules in the secret realm to trap the dragon. You can leave while I'm still here, but once I'm gone that's not going to work. You'll have to stay here until the dragon dies, or you die.

"Although this Shadow Dragon doesn't have long to live, he can survive easily for another one or two hundred years. Although the secret plane will slightly reduce the consumption of life force, a normal first circle Magus will definitely not be able to survive longer than the dragon."

Nick's tone was getting lower and lower, but on the other side, Eli clenched his fist.

A hundred years!

It was impossible for a normal mage to survive because an ordinary first circle mage could only live for 200 years. In the mage world where life force was quickly consumed, they could only live up to 140 years old.

It was impossible for a normal mage to defeat a Shadow Dragon.

But it was different for Eli. If his life was guaranteed to be safe just by staying here for a hundred years, it wouldn't be a loss for him at all. It was only a hundred years anyway.

"Sir, I think I should stay here. After all, I can't escape. I might as well stay here and live a little longer." Eli lied.

"Alright," he said. Nick glanced at him and sighed.

It was all his fault.

"But I want to go out and bring my things in," Eli said.

"Take this. This is the vessel for the secret realm. Within five days, you can use this to come back to the secret realm." Nick handed a black ring to him, and he took a look before putting it on.

Eli nodded.

The next second, he was transported out of the secret realm.

The dragon closed his eyes in disdain.

He could just endure it.

The shadow Dragon was a famous long-lived species in the endless world.

…

At this moment.

In the valley.

Vivika and David were waiting in the valley with anxious looks on their faces.

It had been three hours since they were teleported out, but there was still no movement from their teacher. The bronze door had also disappeared.

"David, do you think something happened to teacher? " Asked Vivika worriedly.

"I don't know," David sighed.

Just as the two of them were lamenting, the space in front of them suddenly fluctuated, and a figure appeared from the void.

"Teacher!"

Vivika and David were pleasantly surprised and immediately walked forward.

Meanwhile, Eli shook his slightly dizzy head, looked at the two of them, and said, "I'm going back to Junlin immediately. I'll take my leave first."

And so, under their dazed gazes, the wind element under Eli's feet surged, and he left.

He only had five days, and he had no time to waste.

The first thing that Eli did after returning to Junlin was to head to the palace.

As for Anna, who was in the middle of an important diplomatic communication, she was interrupted and called away by Eli.

"Prepare these materials for me, the more, the better, and then send them to Leighton Manor." In the room, Eli immediately gave Anna a list.

There were limited materials in the arcane realm, so Eli needed a lot of materials and substances to ensure that he could use them for a hundred years. Oh, he also had to bring some seeds or something, or he would starve to death in the arcane realm.

"Teacher, did something happen?" Anna asked.

She remembered that her teacher should have gone to explore a secret realm. Why did he come back?

"it's nothing. It's just that I might have to go on a long journey," Eli touched Anna's head and sighed.

He had watched Anna grow up since she was a child, and now that he had to leave, Eli's feelings were complicated.

The next time he came out, things would probably change already.

"Travel?" Anna was a little confused. Even if it was a long journey, was there a need to be so depressed?

Even if he had to travel for a long time, it couldn't be longer than his teacher's last trip, which had been twelve years.

"Help me collect these things first. Remember, collect as much as you can. There's no limit. I'll return to the manor first." Eli said again and left quickly.

Watching Eli's departing figure, Anna blinked and began to call out.

"Men!"

…

On the other hand, after returning to the manor, Eli also began to organize his items.

Experimental equipment, experimental materials, magic plants that had been planted, the important blood bamboo flower, some backup of magical beast blood, and flower pots for planting seeds.

Eli directly threw everything into the arcane realm.

On the other side, under Anna's order, carts of materials began to be sent to Leighton Manor without stopping, and the materials piled up into small mountains.

And this was with the manor's geographical limitations, otherwise, the manor would have been filled with stuff. At this moment, Eli was extremely grateful that he still had the Empire to operate. Otherwise, where would he find so many materials at this time?

The trucks of Leighton Manor did not stop for a whole day and a half.

Eli also kept sending the resource into the arcane realm.

At this time, there were still three hours left before the five days were up.

In the manor, Eli touched Anna's head and said, "I can't help you in the future. I might be away for a long time. I've left you a process to make those bloodline Knights. It's all in here. You may need to study it."

"Teacher, are you really leaving?" There were tears in the corner of Anna's eyes. She had a faint feeling that they would not have a chance to meet again after this departure.

"Yes." Eli gave Anna a hug. historical

He had stayed in Junlin for about a hundred years, and this time, he would be leaving for almost a hundred years.

After a hundred years, there would really be nothing left.

"Take care of yourself," Eli said one last time.

In the next two hours, Eli continued to send things into the arcane realm, making sure that everything he needed was there. The only pity was that David hadn't returned yet, and Eli hadn't gotten the chance to study his ability rune, but it didn't matter anymore.

The last hour.

Eli quickly scanned his surroundings around Jun Lin and finally returned to the manor.

In the study, Eli glanced at the land outside for the last time and said calmly, "Goodbye, Junlin."

In the next second, Eli disappeared.

At this moment, on the ruins of the castle.

Nick looked around. Other than Shadow Dragon and the ruins, the rest of the place was filled with piles of items.

That pile was the seeds of magical plants, that pile was ore, that pile was daily necessities, and that pile was furniture.

He was really well prepared!

The corners of Nick's eyes twitched as he watched. Suddenly, he felt a void fluctuation in front of him, and Eli jumped in directly.

!!

"You've come back." Nick looked at Eli with a complicated expression. It was his miscalculation of the shadow Dragon's power that had led to the current situation.

At this moment, his figure was becoming more and more illusory. Due to the struggle between the shadow Dragon and the chains, Eli couldn't leave the secret realm anymore. At the same time, all contact between Eli and the outside world had been cut off, so there was no room for regret.

"Eli, I still have a few hours. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Nick said as he looked at Eli.

"Really?" Eli's eyes lit up.

Nick was speechless.

'You're clearly going to be trapped here until you die, so how can you still be so optimistic?'

"Of course." Nick nodded.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Eli took a small bench from a distance, then took out a crystal ball and started recording.

"First question, what is the basic composition of elements? Why can spiritual energy attract the elements?"

"Also, I have some questions about meditation."

"Oh right, there's also this…"

…

Nick had thought that the last few hours of his life would be spent in peace, but in reality, it was a lecture he had to give Eli.

From basic knowledge to the multiverse.

In just a few hours, he had answered thousands of questions.

So, when it was about time, his heart was not heavy but relaxed.

He looked at Eli, who was still a few meters away, writing down more questions. He couldn't understand why he was still so optimistic and eager to learn in a story where the ending could be seen. Such an attitude was rare even among mages.

"Eli, you're a real mage." Nick's aura slowly dissipated as he spoke to Eli.

"Good, good, good!" Eli replied perfunctorily, still busy taking notes.

"Goodbye!" Nick saw this and smiled.

In the next second, his spirit collapsed and completely disappeared.

"Hey, what did you just say?" On the other side, Eli, who had been recording all this while, suddenly looked up and saw the collapsed Nick. He blinked his eyes. He seemed to have been a little too engrossed just now.

"You will die next!" The moment Nick died, the shadow Dragon Chris, who was not far away, opened his eyes and looked at Eli.

"Hmph!" Elie pouted, then supplemented the chain of energy rules with a bit of mana.

We'll see who is more patient!

…

The days in the secret realm were boring.

In the first month after entering the arcane realm, Eli tidied up the broken ground again and sorted out everything that was brought in by category.

He opened up new magic herb fields and farmlands, nurtured a magical beast breeding garden, rebuilt his laboratory, set up a home for himself, put his own flower pot in place, and re-planted the blood bamboo flowers.

Chris only watched all of this silently. Very soon, perhaps in less than a hundred years, he would be able to kill Eli. He had already spent thousands of years in prison, so what a few more hundred years were?

…

Half a year.

At this moment, Eli had already returned to his normal daily life, but he still had to use his materials sparingly. He couldn't be as generous as he used to be. After all, there were some things that would decrease with every use.

As for the tidal meditation technique, it was indeed worthy of being an intermediate meditation technique. It was much more effective than the basic meditation technique, and the speed of meditation was at least two to three times faster.

"That's amazing!" Eli shook his head. This was only one aspect. He had yet to start learning the knowledge that Nick had left behind, so he was not in a hurry.

"Eh, it seems like it's time to replenish the magic chains," As usual, Eli arrived at the place where Chris was trapped. At this moment, Chris was still silent.

He didn't even bother to greet Eli.

Eli couldn't be bothered with him. He just had to wait until Chris was dead anyway. historical

The bloodline and the secret realm would be his.

"I wonder what's the situation outside." Eli shook his head.

…

At this moment, in the outside world.

In the palace.

Anna held a document and sighed.

"Teacher, where are you?"

All of a sudden, it was as if her teacher had evaporated into thin air, and there was no longer any trace of him.

"Maybe I won't be able to live long enough for teacher to return," Anna recalled her life and realized that she was already 63 years old. She had been with her teacher for decades.

However, his teacher had left, but the Empire still had to continue.

She sighed and sent out another document.

'Cancel the Empire's ruins Department.'

…

"David, are we really leaving?"

Vivika looked at David and asked.

"yes, the Queen has already told me that teacher might be going to a very far place this time and will never come back." David sighed, his heart full of respect and nostalgia for his teacher.

On the other side, tears were already welling up in Vivika's eyes.

"Why did teacher leave without saying a word?" Said Vivika sadly. It was Eli who had pulled her out of the abyss, but now, this person had suddenly left.

"forget it. Let's leave the Empire and head east. Teacher said that there might be some secrets there. We might encounter other mages. Do you want to come with me? " David sighed and asked.

"Alright," Vivika said as she wiped her tears.

In year 404 of the bryne calendar, Vivika and David left Jun Lin and headed east. No one knew what kind of future they would have.

It was a pity that Rob had died inside the secret plane.

…

Bryne calendar year 416.

The entire Empire mourned the death of Queen Anna.

All the residents of Junlin came out of their homes, and the entire country mourned for the great queen. With her death, the Army of Demon Knights disappeared once again, and the method to create them disappeared completely.

That's right, back when Eli gave Anna the method, Anna had destroyed it.

On this day, Eli also took a day off.

There was no other way. The soul imprint of Anna in his consciousness was gone, so naturally, Eli could guess what had happened.

"Has it been twelve years?" In the magic herb field outside, a special rune flickered in Eli's hand, and a plant beside him slowly began to melt, its extraordinary characteristics being extracted bit by bit.

This was Nick's life extraction.

It could easily extract the source of matter, and it was immensely useful in alchemy.

"you're practicing those useless techniques again. It's been thirteen years. How long can you last? " Not far away, Chris sneered with his eyes wide open.

At this moment, his other eye had already recovered, and the other wounds were still recovering. At this moment, he would occasionally mock Eli.

"At least I'll live longer than you," Eli replied.

"Hahaha!" Chris smiled.

When Eli walked in, he looked like he was at least forty or fifty years old. Now, he was probably at least fifty or sixty years old. At most, in fifty years, he believed that Eli would die.

…

50 years later.

"You are actually still alive!" Chris looked at the white-haired Eli, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about that." Eli cast him a glance.

For a full fifty years, the only creature Eli had communicated with was Chris. This was a good thing in a way. After all, loneliness was sometimes more terrifying than death.

At this moment, Eli …

His elemental essence conversion had already reached the limit of 30 points, while his mental power had reached 45 points under the effects of the blood bamboo flower potion. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of elemental essence conversion, his mental power could no longer be increased.

That was why, other than doing a little meditation every day, the rest of his time was spent on research. He had even started on studying how to use Chris' bloodline after the dragon died.

He had also made some small gains from studying the deeper aspects of the blood bamboo flower.

He found the blood bamboo flower to be something very interesting.

Eli had renamed it the devouring power.

As for that seed, Eli was truly speechless. Ever since he came to this secret realm, the seed had only grown by a dozen centimeters. Right now, it was just a small sapling, but its aura was indeed extraordinary. It was already a zero-circle advanced plant.

…

Another thirty years passed.

Eli sighed. The research on the devouring plant was very unclear, and he needed a bigger laboratory. However, Eli was unable to do that at the moment.

In fact, this was very normal. The research was never a simple matter. It was normal not to succeed for decades, and Eli would not be discouraged.

"You're not dead yet!" The same words entered Eli's ears, and he turned to look.

Chris was trapped there. All the injuries on his body had already recovered, but he was in a bad mood because Eli wasn't dead yet.

Thirty years ago, Eli already had a white-haired appearance. Thirty years had passed, and there was actually not a single change. He was still the same as before.

"But you look like you're about to die!" Upon hearing this, Eli said to Chris.

"Hah, you'll definitely die before me." Chris snorted disdainfully, but his dragon eyes were filled with confusion.

That shouldn't be the case!

How could a first circle mage live for so long? he would not have cared if it was in the past, but he knew that mages would die faster in this realm.

"Forget it. Let's just wait."

"Do you really think you're going to outlive me?" Chris said in disdain.

…

Another fifty years.

At this point, Eli had already completely memorized the knowledge of the first circle by heart. He had completely digested all the knowledge left behind by Nick and Saleen metatrin. Even a second circle mage would not be able to have a deeper understanding of the first circle mage than him.

"When is this old dragon going to die?" Eli walked to the laboratory window and looked out.

Normally, he should be able to see a large number of energy grid line chains in the sky.

But today, there was nothing in the sky.

Eli was taken aback, as though he understood what had happened.

Report chapter Comments

Chris was dead.

Its corpse lay on the ground, its black scales absorbing the light. Its eyes were closed, and its huge body was like a small mountain.

Looking at Chris's body, Eli was silent.

One hundred and forty-two years.

He had finally outlived the shadow Dragon.

!!

He had once thought that the shadow Dragon would go crazy when it died. It might even gather all its power to attack the chains of laws. But when it died, Eli didn't even notice it and just died silently.

"A four-circle Shadow Dragon has a much longer life than an ordinary Mage, but it still died!" Eli sighed, then silently returned to the laboratory.

Since the mystic Dragon was dead, the materials should not be wasted.

Let's dissect it while it's hot.

Nick had said that the shadow Dragon was the most powerful supernatural creature with the strongest concealment ability. It was a good time to give him the faceless mask and upgrade his wizard robe.

And Eli would use the dragon's bloodline as well.

It would probably take some time.

"I wanted to go out immediately, but I'd better make the necessary preparations." Eli shook his head. He had already waited for over a hundred years. Would he still care about two to three years?

Time was with him.

He was not in a hurry either. At this time, there were only two mental imprints in his mind-David and Vivika's. The others had disappeared as well. It seemed that the two of them had their own encounters, but he did not know what had happened.

…

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

In the laboratory.

It was rare for Eli to take off his mask. Eli had been wearing the mask for almost his entire life, but it was still a zero-circle item. It looked ordinary, just like him.

At this moment, other than the mask, the dragon's heart was on the table in the laboratory.

The huge heart was the size of two basketballs. It was purplish-black in color, and there were black blood vessels all over it. A large amount of mysterious power, or rather, shadow power, was entwined around it.

This was the thing with the strongest extraordinary power.

The power contained within it was enough to shock even Eli, but it was indeed very suitable for the mask.

The invisible hand of control slowly lifted the heart into the air.

In the next second, Eli picked up the experimental knife with his right hand and stabbed it in.

In an instant, the Purple Heart seemed to explode, and a wave of spiritual force swept through the surroundings. Eli took a deep breath, and the spiritual shield in his mind protected his consciousness. The laboratory's defensive spell formation had already been activated.

Even if it was just a heart, it was not easy to deal with.

The casting lasted for a full three minutes. When it was over, Eli extended his left hand, and a dense group of elements slowly appeared, surrounding the heart. A translucent shadow was slowly pulled out.

This was what Eli needed, the extraordinary nature of the shadow Dragon, concealment.

Without any hesitation, he immediately started working and directly integrated this into the mask.

The process wasn't difficult. Three hours later, Eli looked at the mask and smiled.

The mask didn't seem to have changed much, but its level had increased by an unknown amount. Even Eli didn't know what level the item was at.

A Shadow Dragon was the King of Shadows, transformation, and concealment. Moreover, Chris was a four-circle Shadow Dragon.

This made the quality of the mask jump, who knew how many levels? Even a celestial wouldn't see through its concealment. It would be very useful in this world.

Eli put the mask on his face, and his aura dropped rapidly, directly to the level of an apprentice.

"Not bad!" A smile appeared on Eli's face.

Now that the matter of the mask had been resolved, it was time for the rest.

Looking at the huge bucket filled with Shadow Dragon blood not far away, Eli had already considered how he should use it.

"Oh, there's also the shadow Dragon bloodline!" A four-ring bloodline was a very powerful existence, even among warlocks.

Not to mention the shadow Dragon's ability to hide and control shadows. Even if it didn't have an innate spell, it was destined to have a very powerful bloodline, especially in this broken world where high-level Magi and warlocks had already left.

What would Eli do with the blood?

A magic blood potion, a blood-dissolving potion, and a bloodline.

It wasn't easy for Eli to find it in the laboratory. He had made it fifty years ago and in front of the shadow Dragon Chris. The scene back then was very interesting.

That was probably the day Chris scolded Eli the most.

As bloodline had always been the direction of Eli's research, he knew exactly what to do.

Five days later.

The merging of the bloodline began.

With the injection of two bottles of medicine and blood, it was as if something was erupting in Eli's body. A large shadow surged out of his body and wrapped around him like a heart.

Eli fell into a deep sleep, accepting everything from this bloodline.

For a moment, the entire realm fell into silence again.

…

A year later.

Outside Junlin city.

The space suddenly fluctuated, and a young man suddenly walked out from it.

He had a handsome face and black hair. He wore a black-gold ring and a purple ring on his right hand. He wore a gray robe, and his boots seemed to be made of animal skin.

The moment he appeared, he looked up at the sky and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

"I'm finally out!" Eli looked at the unfamiliar mountain forest in front of him and was in a good mood.

After fusing with the bloodline in the secret realm, Eli had also trained for a few months to fuse the mystic Dragon's skin into his Wizard tool, allowing his wizard robe and boots to reach the level of One circle.

Only after everything was prepared did Eli choose to come out.

However, the place he had come out of did not seem to be the same place as before. Instead, it was a place outside Jun Lin city.

"Let's go back to Junlin to take a look." Eli took a deep breath, then walked to the main road, called for a carriage, and got in after paying the price of a few copper Tarls.

Sitting by the window of the carriage, Eli looked at the scenery on both sides, and his mood was indescribably good.

At the same time, he also felt the soul brand in his mind, which had been silent for a long time, move.

The imprint that had once been unable to transmit information due to spatial reasons instantly gushed toward Eli.

Not David's, but Vivika's.

"Teacher, David and I have left Jun Lin. We're heading east and have decided to go to the real mage's world.

"Oh, we've been to many cities and passed by many countries, but we haven't found anything. But recently, we seem to have some clues. It seems that the mage's camp is further east.

"Teacher, we found it. We've finally found a Warlock's camp at the end of the Corinna Kingdom. It's very difficult to find, and it's just near the zither Moon Mountain range. We've decided to go together.

"yes, this is a scattered Warlock camp. David and I have decided to stay here for a while to adapt.

"It's great here, but unfortunately, the teacher isn't here. It's just David and me, and David seems to have made new friends and often goes out. I'm a little scared.

"ah, David took me to see his friend. He's actually a mage. You know, mages are strictly forbidden here, and David said he wants to be a mage. I don't think it's a good idea.

"David left. He left with that mage. I don't know where he went.

"sigh, maybe this is life. I can't stop him, and I won't report him. It's a pity that our teacher isn't here. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to stop him. After all, David listens to Teacher.

"Oh my God, I actually found the remains of a third-circle wind elemental magic beast by chance. This is a great thing for me. I need to merge with this blood.

"I'll join the bloodline tower. It's time for me to leave."

"Sigh, Teacher hasn't replied yet. It looks like he's really dead. I'm so sad."

…

Vivika seemed to have used the mark as a diary, reporting to Eli from time to time.

And it seemed that the two of them had a disagreement. David had left, but Vivika was lucky enough to integrate a good bloodline and advance to a Warlock.

After that, she seemed to realize that her teacher might really be dead, so she didn't use the mark anymore.

Looking at the messages, Eli was overwhelmed with emotions.

From Vivika's information, Eli also learned more about the Warlock's camp. The only pity was that there were still many things he didn't know.

So, it was time for him to think about what he should do next.

Should he stay here or head there?

Actually, there was nothing much to say. If he stayed here, Eli's strength could no longer be improved. He should go to the warlock's camp and take a look. historical

Plus, Eli wanted to continue his research, and Jun Lin had nothing left for him.

The inheritance left behind by the Magi was still waiting for Eli to take over. He would use the things left behind by the mages to strengthen himself.

So what if he was an immortal garbage collector?

What did he do wrong? he only wanted to strengthen himself to protect his immortality.

On the other side.

The carriage had also arrived at Junlin.

After walking around, Eli realized that there was almost no place he was familiar with, and the current king was the descendant of Bryne the tenth. He sighed.

They arrived at the Empire's imperial mausoleum, Anna's grave.

Looking at the tombstone, Eli was silent for a long time.

He placed the bouquet of fresh flowers he had just bought in front of the tomb and turned to leave.

This was a farewell.

After saying goodbye, Eli left Jun Lin.

In an instant, he turned into a shadow and set off into the distance.

He headed east.

123 Rock

He would head to the transcendent world.

The power of shadow appeared outside of his body. Her figure flickered, but every time he appeared, he would be dozens of meters away. There were shadows everywhere. She appeared as if she was jumping in the shadows, heading east.

This was shadow leap, a movement skill that Eli had developed based on the shadow Dragon's abilities. It was very fast, but it had to be used in a shadowy place, and it was best to use it at night.

Speaking of bloodlines …

The integration of the shadow Dragon bloodline not only made Eli's physical body outrageous, but it also allowed him to gain initial control over shadows, concealment, and transformation. It was just as Nick had said. It was a bloodline that was very suitable for Eli.

When the time came, with the shadow Dragon's ability to imitate, the mask, and the mage's abilities, it would be impossible for even a celestial sorcerer to see through him.

"sigh, I might really not come back after leaving."

In the evening, Eli took one last look at Jun Lin, then turned and left without looking back.

There was nothing left for him to miss there.

…

Half a year later.

After a long and arduous journey, Eli finally arrived at the kingdom of Corina.

This was a place with one side by the sea and the other side by another mountain range. It was about 20 or so countries away from the Bryne Empire. Of course, they were all small countries, but it was still very far.

"The zither Moon Mountain range."

Eli remembered Vivika's words very clearly.

After asking around for the zither Moon Mountain range's location, Eli continued on his way. However, he was no longer in a hurry. Eli changed his face and concealed his weapon. His aura gradually dropped to that of a level 3 acolyte, and then he leisurely walked onto the main road.

This was the main road to the zither Moon Mountain range.

It should still be 50 to 60 kilometers away from there.

"What is the Mage world, no, the Warlock world like?" Eli was really curious.

Other than his three apprentices, he had not seen any other mages or warlocks.

…

"Are you also going to the zither Moon Mountain's Warlock's camp?"

Eli was walking on the main road when he suddenly heard other sounds.

Eli turned his head and saw a carriage coming towards him. The carriage was very gorgeous, and there were many guards around the carriage, with people in front and behind.

However, it was not the guards who called out to him but the person in the carriage.

A man by the window extended his hand and greeted him.

"Level 3 acolyte!"

Eli was stunned. The man looked to be in his twenties, and he had a smile on his face. However, judging from his aura, he was actually a level 3 acolyte.

How could things be so ridiculous?

A level 3 apprentice at the age of twenty. When Eli was twenty, he was only a level 1 acolyte.

"Yes, I am!" Eli didn't deny it either. From what the man said, he should be heading there too. If possible, Eli might be able to get more information about the camp from him. At least, he wouldn't be too caught off guard when the time came.

Besides, this was only a level 3 apprentice with a few Knights and Grand Knights as guards. If he were exposed, he could just kill them all. However, that should not happen.

"Oh, you're going to the camp too!" The man's eyes lit up when he heard what Eli said, and he immediately got off the carriage. "I'm going there too. Let's go together." The man was wearing a simple mage robe.

"Alright," Eli nodded. The man in front of him was too enthusiastic.

It wasn't dangerous anyway.

Just like that, Eli followed the man into the carriage.

"Hello, I'm Rock, the third Prince of the kingdom of Corina." The man was very enthusiastic as soon as they got on the carriage.

"Hello, I'm… Herman." After hesitating for a moment, Eli changed his name.

"I saw that you're a level 3 apprentice, so I pulled you along. Looking at you, you should be going to the moon zither Warlock's camp for the gathering, right?" Rock asked with a smile. historical

"Gathering?" Eli asked.

"Aren't you going to join the shadow lizard Warlock Academy?" Rock was also surprised when he heard the question.

He looked at the level 3 acolyte in front of him. He seemed to be around 30 years old. He might not be very talented, but he should be on the same path as him.

"No." Eli shook his head.

"Oh, I see." The man seemed to be very disappointed to hear this, and his enthusiasm reduced a lot. However, it was only a few seconds before he asked again, "Then, brother Herman, are you going to live in the camp, find someone, or buy something?"

"uh, I came from another kingdom and had been learning from my teacher. My teacher didn't tell me anything. Some time ago, my teacher died, so I left that place. I heard that there was a Warlock's camp near the zither Moon Mountain Plains, so I wanted to take a look," Eli said.

He was not lying when he said that. Saleen was indeed his teacher to a certain extent. He had been following his notes and learning. After being trapped for five to six hundred years, he had come out to take a look.

"I see!" Rock nodded.

"I don't quite understand what you're saying. Can you explain it to me?" Eli asked with a studious look as if he was an apprentice who had never seen the world.

"Alright," he said. Rock looked at Eli's appearance and couldn't help but feel pity for him, saying, "Do you want to hear about the camp or something else?"

"Everything. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

Rock nodded and said, " "How about this? I'll tell you about the zither moon camp first. This should be a medium-sized camp among the nearby Warlock forces. It's a camp within the shadow lizard Warlock Academy's territory."

Shadow lizard warlocks!

Eli clearly remembered that it was the faction that Saleen metatrin had provoked back then. He did not expect it to be here. Perhaps there was a wizard faction here as well.

"Yes, so you're going this time because…" Eli asked.

"of course, I'm going to join the shadow lizard Warlock camp. The upper limit of the shadow lizard is the second circle. In the entire East Coast, it's considered an upper-middle Warlock Academy." Rock replied.

Eli blinked but did not say anything.

"Oh, then what's the gathering for?" Eli asked again.

"The shadow lizard bloodline Academy will invite new students to join the Academy every once in a while. If they have the chance, they can even get a bloodline reward and become a powerful shadow lizard bloodline Warlock." Rock raised his hand and said expectantly.

This time, he had come to join the Academy.

"I see. If I'm not wrong, you should be a level 3 acolyte. Are the requirements of the Academy so high now? "

"Of course not. It's just that some of my family members are also from the Academy. He's in charge of the Kingdom of Corina, so I've been learning from him at home. But I've come out this time to become a real warlock.

"After all, you know that if we don't merge our bloodlines, we'll just meditate, learn some bloodline knowledge, and do some experiments. There won't be much power, and I'm not interested in those zero-circle spells."

It seemed like it was just as Nick had said. Warlocks had once abandoned the knowledge of mages and focused on bloodlines. The situation had only worsened over the years.

But this was even better. If a mage's items were not valued, then Eli could get more things.

Meeting Rock this time was also a great opportunity, so Eli tried his best to ask for as much information as he could.

"Well, I also want to ask, are there any rules in the camp?"

"Rules. I've already said that this is an open camp. There won't be any inspections unless you want to join. However, the inspections won't be very strict, as long as you follow the rules.

"However, warlocks are affected by their bloodline, and many of them have very bad tempers!" Rock explained some common sense to Eli and joked, "it seems like your teacher isn't very responsible, brother Herman. Why don't you come with me to the shadow lizard Warlock Academy? you don't have anywhere else to go anyway, so you might be able to find further development if you join the Academy." Rock invited.

In fact, this was what he had planned when he met Eli just now.

Although he had a senior in the first ring, he had not been in the Academy for a long time, so he did not know many people. The royal family's influence allowed him to know more people to expand his power. If he could recruit a level 3 apprentice in advance, it would naturally be a very good thing.

"The Warlock Academy?" Eli thought for a moment.

The Warlock Academy was indeed a good place, but it was definitely not something that Eli should be concerned about right now. He knew nothing about the Warlock world, so it would be better for him to loiter around the camp for a few decades before joining any faction.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to take a look at the camp." Eli declined tactfully.

"Alright, that's a real pity." Rock shook his head. "It's alright. You can stay in the camp for now. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. After all, you're the first apprentice I've met outside." Rock was good with his words.

"Alright," Eli nodded. No one could say for sure what would happen in the future. Perhaps one day, he would really ask Rock for help.

"Your Highness, we need to stop here."

As the two of them chatted, the coachman's voice suddenly came from outside.

??

Eli looked at Rock.

"Relax. It's just that the camp doesn't allow apprentices to bring more than two servants, so we'll have to walk on our own for the rest of the journey." Rock explained, afraid that Eli would overthink.

"I see!" Eli nodded. He had thought that something had happened.

The two of them got out of the car. They were already far away from the main road. Eli looked ahead, and there was an area covered in fog. It was another mist-sealing spell formation.

"Let's go," he said. The two Grand Knights behind Rock carried two large boxes and followed them.

Meanwhile, Rock cast a glance at Eli and shook his head. What a pitiful apprentice. He was too poor and did not even have supplies with him.

The other Coachmen and Knights left while Rock and Eli walked side by side.

The two of them walked into the fog.

The mist had almost no effect on apprentices, it only prevented ordinary people from entering.

Ten minutes later.

They arrived at the camp.

At the Warlock's camp.

Eli looked at the area in front of him.

The fog had disappeared, and the real camp was inside.

It was different from the run-down campsite that Eli had imagined. What came into view was a very large area. Not far away was a large group of buildings of different heights. Occasionally, there would be one or two tall towers among them.

Outside the buildings was a large magic herb field. There were many Knights and Grand Knight slaves working here. It was a bustling scene.

"Don't be dazed. Go in and take a look." Looking at the unfamiliar expression on Eli's face, Rock patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Alright, alright," It was also Eli's first time seeing this, so he was very curious. He walked in with Rock.

Walking down the middle of the road, there were magic herb fields on both sides.

"most of the plants here are silent crescent moons, a rare magic plant." Rock explained to him.

"Silent Crescent?"

Eli had rarely heard of this magic plant. It couldn't be helped, mainly because Orthodox mages would rarely use it. If he was not wrong, it should have a calming effect, and he guessed that it should be used by warlocks.

Walking beside Rock, Eli didn't say a word and just kept observing.

There weren't many people on the road, but most of them were apprentices of the first or second level. Occasionally, there were a few Level 3 apprentices, but there weren't many of them. After all, not everyone was a genius like Rock.

Eli didn't see any warlocks.

After walking for a while, he finally saw one.

The warlock seemed to have fused with some unknown bloodline. His entire body exuded a cold aura, and even his eyes were vertical pupils. There were even some scales on his right hand. He walked straight in from the entrance not far away.

Two acolytes were sitting there.

"Stop!" Just as the two of them walked to the entrance, two apprentices called out to them.

"One low-grade magic stone to enter the camp."

Magic stones!

Eli had some. Previously, in the ruins of the ancient ruins, Eli had also found some magic stones. There were about 30 of them. He didn't know how much they were worth, but seeing that it only took one magic stone to enter the camp, it didn't seem to be worth much.

"Brother Herman, do you have magic stones? If not, I'll pay for you." Beside him, rock said generously.

"No need," Eli reached into his pocket and took out a magic stone from the secret plane.

"Alright, tell us your name and level. We need to hand in a record." After receiving the magic stones, the two acolytes prepared to register.

"Herman, a level 3 acolyte."

"yes, this is your identity card. For a month, you can enter and leave the camp freely. After that, you will have to pay again. One magic stone a month." The apprentice handed over a metal plate, which was emitting a strange aura.

One magic stone per month?

It was very expensive!

As soon as he arrived in the magic world, he had a vague feeling that he might fall into poverty again.

After Eli was done, rock registered as usual, and the two of them walked in.

"Herman, you can go on your own. I might have to go to their gathering place. Let's meet again if fate allows." Rock bade farewell as he passed through the door.

"Goodbye." Eli nodded.

The two separated.

…

He entered the camp.

Everything was new to Eli.

Eli followed the main road and strolled around. Occasionally, he would see potions shops and alchemy shops by the side of the road. He would go in and take a look. This also made Eli deeply understand how poor he was. Of course, he also made some other discoveries.

In the magic potion shop.

"This bottle of blood-refining potion costs five magic crystals?" Eli's eyes widened as he looked at the potion in front of him.

A regular reagent bottle contained a blood-colored magic potion. This was a potion that could strengthen one's physical strength during one's apprenticeship. Eli had even concocted it before, but the cost was less than one magic stone. They were actually selling five here? This was too much.

"Is it expensive? You can go to other places to take a look. We're already considered cheap." The apprentice who was selling the goods could not stand Eli's slander, "Go and take a look. There aren't many pharmacists in the entire camp. How many warlocks can refine magic potions? This place provides high-quality products from the manager's hands. Five magic stones are already very cheap,"

The apprentice tried to use logic to tell Eli that they were a store with a good heart.

"Really?" Eli blinked.

It seemed that he had misunderstood something.

Warlocks had abandoned a considerable part of their knowledge. Potions were a huge problem for warlocks who had different power of the will and affinity with elements.

In fact, this was also one of the disadvantages of warlocks.

"What about the magic blood potion?" With this question in mind, Eli asked potions again.

"30 magic crystals!"

The cost was five to six magic stones, but it was sold for 30 magic stones.

This time, Eli didn't say anything and turned to leave.

For a moment, he was still a little confused about the Warlock's world.

"What a pauper." The apprentice looked at Eli's back as he left, treating him like a country bumpkin.

At the alchemy shop.

"This Warlock leather armor is definitely worth it. It only costs 30 low-grade magic stones. This one also only costs 50 magic stones for the Warhammer. Or this staff, 20 magic stones."

As expected, the prices of Alchemy products were about the same.

It seemed that due to their pursuit of bloodlines, most warlocks would not spend time learning potions, alchemy, and so on, which made the price of such items ridiculously high.

"This is a way to make money." Eli thought for a moment. He still had thirty-three low-grade magic stones. If he didn't make some money later, it would be hard for him to survive here.

It was hard to survive in poverty here. Especially when Eli went into a restaurant today, he realized he had to pay with magic stones. Eli had to swallow his saliva and turned to leave.

He had no choice. He was still too poor.

"Do I have to rely on my personal potions to survive?"

Eli pondered, but he quickly rejected the idea.

He wasn't clear about the situation here at the moment, and doing something rashly might attract the attention of some people. It was better for him to stay here for a while and then think about other things.

'Steady, don't be reckless.'

So, Eli had to rent a house first. After all, he couldn't possibly stay in the arcane realm forever.

The campsite was huge, like a small town. Asking for directions along the way and passing through the complicated roads, Eli quickly found the place he needed.

"I want to rent an apartment!"

At the place in charge of the camp, Eli explained his purpose for coming.

The one in charge today was a little girl with big eyes, a Level 1 Apprentice.

"Do you have any requests?" The little girl asked.

"it can be quieter, more remote, and cheaper. Also, if possible, don't charge too much." He had especially emphasized the last two words.

"Okay. Claus, take him to room 536,789,213." When the girl heard the request, she immediately called for someone. A Grand Knight quickly walked out.

"Lord Warlock, let me show you the house." Claus was a middle-aged man, and he said with a fawning expression.

"Alright," Eli nodded.

Ever since he came here, Eli realized that even if Grand Knights didn't have any status, they were treated lower than dogs.

Soon, the man showed him around the three houses. Eli hesitated for a moment before choosing one of them.

It was a house on the mountainside of a small hill outside the camp. It was not small and was very remote. The only problem was that it was a few kilometers away from the camp.

Of course, it wasn't that Eli didn't want to live in the campsite or somewhere higher, but he couldn't afford it. The first two were at the campsite. One cost ten magic stones a month, while the other cost five magic stones, but the area was only a dozen square meters.

He chose the one outside the camp, which only cost twenty magic stones a year, and it was still quite expensive.

Actually, Eli had the intention of building his own house, but the campsite did not allow it, so he could only rent a cheap one. He had to walk to the campsite. historical

After getting the key to the house, Eli spent another ten magic stones to pay for another year of camp expenses, which was two magic stones for a full year.

Just like that, Eli barely made a home there.

With the key in hand, Eli headed towards his residence.

About ten minutes later, Eli arrived at his destination.

It was a building located halfway up the mountain.

The building was not big, but there was a fence that blocked the view inside. To Eli's surprise, the houses here seemed to be equipped with a defensive spell formation. Although it was average, it was not bad.

"Hey, are you a new warlock?" Just as Eli was about to go in, the door to another house opened, and an old man walked out.

The old man was wearing a simple robe and had the aura of a level 3 acolyte.

"Hello, I'm Herman." Eli nodded.

"I'm Victor, a level 3 apprentice. I've been living here for more than 20 years. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me." Victor looked very enthusiastic and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Eli nodded.

"Don't be embarrassed. After all, I'm much older than you. Everyone around me knows me. I won't harm anyone." Victor said with a smile.

Eli's eyes twitched.

As he had been trapped for 130 years, he was actually 271 years old already.

Eli smiled silently, then said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll come to you with questions later."

"Good, good, good!" Victor rarely met such a friendly neighbor. He smiled. He was already very old and didn't pursue power. He just lived a leisurely life every day.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Victor, Eli walked into the house.

After checking that there were no detection methods here, Eli began to take some things out of the arcane realm. By the time he was done packing, it was already midnight.

Standing in the yard, Eli felt the elements around him.

It was three to four times the size of Jun Lin, and he also smiled.

He had finally arrived in the world of mages and warlocks.

Once he was familiar with the camp, it would be time for him to step into the mage world. He would also have to search for the mage's legacy and other things.

"Oh, and Vivika. I wonder how she's doing."

Eli sensed Vivika and David's state and was stunned.

They were both One Circle, and they seemed to have surpassed Eli.

It seemed that these two students were doing quite well!

He wondered where the two of them were.

Shaking his head, Eli returned to the house.

He wouldn't contact the two of them for the time being. It was better to wait for him to settle down before pursuing other things.

Report chapter Comments

A year later.

In Victor's yard.

There was a stone table in the middle, and on the stone table were all kinds of fruits and food. On both sides were two reclining chairs, on which Eli and Victor lay, basking in the sun with a satisfied look.

"Herman, I didn't expect you to be such a good match with this old man." Victor picked up a bunch of grapes, eating as he chatted with Eli.

After a year, the two of them had become very familiar with each other.

What Viktor did not expect was that even though his pace of life was slow enough, he did not expect that Eli would be even slower, completely unlike a normal level 3 apprentice.

When everyone was busy studying, he was strolling around. When everyone was busy meditating, he was doing experiments. When everyone was busy discovering the bloodline, Eli was lying down and talking to him.

Sometimes, he even felt that Eli was older than him.

"Yeah, shouldn't we be considered friends despite our age?" Eli laughed heartily.

"Indeed," Victor revealed a smile.

"But, you can't do this forever. After all, you can't just sit around and do nothing. For one, you have to pay rent, right?" Victor was worried for Eli.

"It's okay. I've been looking for work recently." Eli also took a sip of wine. It had to be said that the wine in the mage world was of higher quality, and it was better to drink.

This year, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Warlock world and the camp.

First of all, the person in charge of this camp should be a shadow lizard Warlock who had just advanced to the second circle. There were also some first-circle warlocks here, but not many.

It was not that the camp was weak but that he was currently on the East Coast. Even in the Mage world, it did not seem to be a prosperous place.

The camp's strength was already considered very good.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Eli. The main thing was that he found that there were still many things left behind by mages in the camp, like some books. Before the mages left, this place used to be a more prosperous area on the East Coast. It was a good choice for Eli to stay here and develop.

That's right, Eli had already decided to live here for a long time.

As for Rock, he had already left this place and successfully joined the shadow lizard Academy. He even invited Eli for the second time, but he was rejected by Eli.

So, the biggest problem for him right now was still money. With magic stones, he could buy the stuff that he needed. Eli had an idea of how to gain money.

That was to join the camp's potion Department and work to earn money.

As for why he didn't make his own potions to earn money, there was naturally a reason.

After a year of understanding, Eli knew that there were almost no private places that sold potions here. They basically bought them from the officials. This was an important way for the camp to accumulate wealth, so they naturally wouldn't allow people to sell the potion on the side.

It was a good opportunity for him to join an official organization, which would make it easier for him to find some things.

"Well, then I'll go first. The camp's potion Department is recruiting today. I'll go take a look." Seeing that it was about time, Eli bade Victor farewell.

"Goodbye." Victor raised his glass and watched Eli leave.

…

After leaving Victor's house, Eli went straight to the camp.

After showing his token at the entrance, Eli walked to the camp office like he always did.

"Alice, I heard that the magic potion Department is recruiting in the camp these days." Said Eli as he leaned against the counter. The girl from a year ago was on the counter.

"Hmph, Herman, do you still want to make potions?" Alice laughed out loud. It was not malicious, but she was just joking. The two knew each other.

"Don't look down on me. My potions are very good." Eli shook her head and sighed. historical

"Don't joke around. This time, the potions department only wants one person. The competition will be very intense. I've never heard of you making potions before." Alice looked at Eli and smiled.

Potioneering was not a simple subject. It required hundreds or thousands of practices to be completed. Not only were ordinary apprentices unable to support it, but the related knowledge was also difficult to obtain, especially in the current mage world.

"Then you can just look at the notice when the time comes. Just tell me the place and time." Eli said with a smile.

"Alright, the testing ground is on the west side of the camp, next to the potion Department," Alice said after casting a glance at Eli.

"Alright, I'll treat you to something after this." After knowing the location, Elie turned around and left.

"What a joker." Alice looked at his back and snorted.

…

After passing through a few roads, Eli arrived at the place that Alice had mentioned.

At this time, the recruitment was in a huge tent. The tent was very empty. Other than a fat man sitting in the front, there was a screen behind him. Although he could not see it, Eli could sense that there was another person behind him.

The fat man should be the person in charge. He seemed to be in his fifties or sixties and was a level 3 apprentice.

"Hello, I heard that your potions department needs people." Eli walked over and asked.

"Indeed. Are you interested?" Fatty cast a glance at Eli, who looked to be in his thirties or forties.

"yes, my potion concoction technique is not bad." Eli nodded.

"Okay. Then come at 3 p.m. tomorrow. We'll choose one person." Fatty cast a glance at Eli and said.

"Alright," Eli nodded, turned around, and left.

He had already achieved his goal, so there was no need to waste his breath.

However, just as he walked out of the door, with the shadow dragon's powerful hearing, he seemed to hear something wrong.

Eli furrowed his brows.

He walked a little toward the back of the tent, and the sound became clearer.

…

Inside the tent.

An old man walked out from behind the screen and looked at fatty with a fawning expression. Then, he took out a bag from behind him and handed it over.

"my Lord, here are 30 magic stones. I heard that you will be the examiner tomorrow. I hope you can help me."

"I'm sorry, but I'm a very upright person." The fat man glanced at the magic stone and shook his head.

Seeing this, the old man cursed in his heart, but he still took out another bag and said, " there are 20 magic stones in here, 50 magic stones in total. These are for you to buy some tea, my Lord."

This time, the fatty didn't refuse. He held the magic stone in his arms and said slowly, "Do you even need help? You're pretty good. As long as there's no accident, you'll be chosen."

The old man smiled when he heard this.

Although his potioneering skills were average, he would still pass because of this.

"Thank you, my Lord." The old man quickly thanked him. "Then I'll take my leave first!"

Looking at the magic stone in Fatty's arms, the old man's eyes twitched. He walked out of the tent and left in one direction.

And after he left, Eli also stepped out from the shadow beside the tent.

He looked at the old man's back and sighed.

"How can you do this?"

Eli shook his head. What happened to the fair and just environment?

He didn't want to do anything at first, but at this point, he had no choice.

He only had two choices. One was to interfere with the old man tomorrow, and two was to deal with him immediately.

What else could he do?

How should he put it? It was rare for the demon potion Department to be short of people. At the very least, this was the only time that Eli had heard of this since he had been here. It was truly a good opportunity.

Joining the potions Department meant that one would be able to slowly climb up the ranks. Back in the bryne Empire, Eli had already understood a principle, and that was that the higher one's position was, the easier it would be for one to do many things.

For example, ever since Eli took control of Anna, everything about Bryne could be easily obtained. Although this was a Warlock's camp, the principle still worked.

Raising his head to look at the moon that was gradually rising, Eli sensed the direction the old man was heading towards and walked over.

…

The next afternoon.

Eli came to the tent according to the time. There were about twenty people there by now, and most of them did not look very young, at least fifty or sixty years old. There were also very few young ones, only seven or eight.

The age of Eli's current identity should be below average. It seemed like the pharmacists here were generally older!

As the crowd gathered, the fatty from yesterday also walked out.

He stood at the very front, then looked around.

"Eh?" Fatty blinked his eyes. 'Where did the old man from yesterday go?'

In fact, he knew the old man. Although he was not young, his skills in making potions were not weak. Otherwise, he would not have agreed. After all, not just any trash could enter the potion Department.

However, that old man didn't come today. Was he late?

"Everyone, please wait a moment." The fat man said.

Time passed by slowly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

"What's going on? Why hasn't it started yet?"

"That's right. What's the point of making us wait here at the agreed time!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The others started to complain.

Fatty also frowned and was a little angry. He immediately made a decision. It was fine if he didn't come. He couldn't be blamed for this.

"Everyone, follow me." The fat man waved his hand and walked into the building next to him. Everyone followed him, and Eli was among them.

Next up was the real written test.

He hoped that no one would cheat in front of him, or else he wouldn't mind doing something to make sure that the test was fair.

…

Just as they were heading to the testing area.

At the same time.

On a big tree in a remote mountain more than ten kilometers away from the camp.

An old man slowly opened his eyes.

He felt dizzy, and then his whole body seemed to be tortured. When he came to his senses, he looked around and found himself.

An unfamiliar environment, an unfamiliar forest, and an unfamiliar rope.

He was tied to a tree.

"Who did this!!!" The old man shouted. Then, he suddenly remembered something and was stunned. A few seconds later, a loud scream came from the quiet forest, accompanied by a few birds flying away.

"My test!!!"

"Who did this?!"

Just as the old man was trying to struggle.

On the other side, Eli and the others had already arrived at the building next to the tent and were led to a room on the second floor. The decorations weren't considered luxurious, but the space was huge. At this moment, there were nearly thirty tables placed inside, with some materials on them.

"Are we making potions?" In the crowd, Eli saw this scene and knew what to do.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Rooney Farhad, the person in charge of the potions department's recruitment this time. There are two stages in this competition. One is to test everyone's understanding of potions, and the other is to fight." Fatty turned around and said.

The members of the potions Department naturally couldn't be unfamiliar with the potions' ingredients and some other things. So the first step was actually to filter out the slackers, and the second step was to select suitable apprentices.

"Okay, find a seat first," Rooney said.

Everyone immediately went forward to pick a suitable seat, and Eli picked one at random.

Everyone sat down, and soon, a few more people came in to help invigilate.

The test soon began.

When Eli and the others received the test papers, he took a look and realized that it was really very simple. He had spent more than two hundred years concocting potions, and he had also obtained quite a lot of potion resources from Saleen metatrin and Nick. This step was not difficult for him.

On the other hand, the others all had bitter expressions. It was clearly very difficult.

Upon seeing this, Eli couldn't help but recall a scene from the library back then.

It was really interesting.

Eli began answering the questions at a moderate pace, and he would deliberately make some mistakes.

"This should be enough." Eli didn't know this group of people at all, and he wasn't too sure about their standards.

While Eli was answering the questions, some people had already been eliminated.

"Are you actually using mental power to try to cheat? Do you look down on me that much?"

"the magic tool mirror is really a good cheating tool but too bad for you. Get out."

"Hey, hey, hey, please don't imitate other people's movements. I really look down on you guys with this level of skill."

Rooney cursed as he walked. In the blink of an eye, he had thrown out three or four warlocks.

On the other hand, Eli calmly wrote a little, ensuring that he was about 70% right, which should be enough.

Time passed quickly. Rooney took everyone's papers. There were 27 people in total. Four had left, leaving 23. Soon, the marking was over.

But when Rooney announced the result, and when Eli knew he was second, he raised an eyebrow.

'I have no idea the standard here is so low.'

It seemed that he had underestimated the Warlock's pursuit of knowledge. These warlocks were far inferior to the mages. historical

Eli was second, and the first was an old man who looked to be at least 50 to 60 years old. He had a big beard, and his right arm had obvious signs of flesh modification, covered in fine hair.

The old man only glanced at Eli confidently without any provocation.

They weren't young people anymore.

"Okay, then, let's start brewing the potions. This time, we'll be preparing the more common silent Crescent potion, the zero circle potion. It can relieve the effects of warlocks' bloodlines." Rooney said.

Although many Magi would only integrate their bloodline after reaching the first circle, those who had no hope of advancing would do so as soon as they become acolytes. In this case, they would be more affected by their infused, such as being easily angered.

Potions like the silent Crescent were potions that could save one's life at critical moments. They were very practical and were the most widely sold potions by the potion Department.

"the first step is to filter out some people. This is the real selection stage. After all, we don't need theoretical scientists but real pharmacists. Whoever's medicine is the most effective can join the Department." Rooney looked at the crowd and said.

Soon, the materials were sent to their table. Eli looked at the materials in front of him and fell into deep thought.

He had never concocted this medicine before.

But it wasn't a big problem. After all, it was just a zero-circle potion. If he couldn't even concoct this, then he would be too useless.

Sometimes, it was no big deal to be in the limelight.

Eli began to process the materials.

Not far away, Rooney was scanning everyone, and there were others beside him.

"The quality of this batch is not bad. Unfortunately, we only need one person. Rooney, who do you like?" A man beside Rooney asked.

"I think Molin should be good. His right arm has been modified, and he is very sensitive to mental power control. If there are no accidents, it should be him." Rooney looked at the old man in the middle, who had been first in the previous round.

"Indeed, his pharmaceutical skills are very good. Even the apprentices in the magic potion Department are not as good as him." The man nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Molin had already finished processing the materials, while the others were only halfway through.

To Rooney's surprise, the second-place warlock from the previous round had not even finished one-third of the process. It was obvious that he was not familiar with it. Seeing this, Rooney shook his head and no longer paid attention to Eli.

One look and he could tell that Eli was a theoretical person.

As time passed, everyone's ingredients were processed, and they began to prepare the potion. Soon, some people began to fail.

In a corner.

A man with a serious expression poured the ingredients in the reagent bottle into the rumbling potion beside him.

It seemed that the man did not control his strength well, and he accidentally poured out half of the reagent bottle.

"Not good!" Seeing this, the man's eyes widened. He turned around and jumped away.

Bang!

In the next second, the crucible exploded, and broken fragments flew in all directions. A man who had been refining was caught off guard by the flying fragments and failed instantly.

"Damn it!" The man cursed.

This wave directly caused many people to fail.

At this moment, Eli was also starting to brew. Sensing the flying shards, he brewed the potion while a shield slowly appeared on the other side, blocking the shards.

As for the old man further away, he just glanced at the flying shards and directly blocked them with his body.

"Doing two things at once. Not bad!" In the distance, Rooney looked at Eli's actions and was a little surprised.

Concocting magic potions while using spells, this level of mental strength control was very rare for an apprentice. He might have been wrong about Eli.

Soon, the man who had caused the explosion was taken out of the arena. The others who had failed were also taken away. They all looked at the man angrily because everyone only had one chance.

What happened next was very normal. The rest of the people continued to concoct the potion.

Ten minutes later, the old man's potion was successfully concocted. He held the potion in his right hand and had a proud expression on his face. He looked as if he had won.

He was very confident. He had refined this magic medicine dozens of times, so there was absolutely no problem.

Following the old man's success, the others also succeeded and failed one after another. Those who succeeded waited anxiously, and those who failed left in sadness. Eli also successfully completed the configuration.

Ten minutes later, there were only seven or eight people left in the field.

"Everyone, take out your magic potions. I'll test their level." Rooney looked at the crowd and said.

Naturally, there was a standard for potions. According to their characteristics and effects, they were divided into five levels, with level five being the lowest and level one being the highest.

Soon, a man took the lead and handed over the potion.

Rooney took a look and collected a small sample. He then took out an alchemy item and put it in to test the level of the potion.

Half a minute later.

"level two, normal." Rooney shook his head and said.

The man's entire body seemed to have collapsed in an instant. The second level was not good. It could only be said to be above the passing grade. The competition today was so intense that he was probably done for.

"Next,"

"I'll do it." This time, it was a brawny man with a big red beard. He held a magic potion in his hand and looked nervous.

"Level 1."

The cruel number made the brawny man's mouth twitch, and he turned to leave.

Soon, the others appeared one by one, but most of them were level one and level two. In the end, only Eli and the old man remained.

The old man did not even look at Eli and offered the potion to Rooney.

Very quickly, the results were out.

Level three close to level four!

Rooney announced after looking at the results. In fact, this was already the highest standard for an average Warlock. After all, they lacked the practice and their skills were not that good.

"There's still one more!" Rooney looked at Eli, who he was looking forward to.

Eli handed over the medicine, and Rooney placed it into the instrument.

The others were already preparing to leave while the old man confidently waited in place, ready to accept his win.

"I've finally succeeded after so much preparation."

The old man sighed. He had already tried three or four times, and this was the only time he had succeeded. There was only one more apprentice left, so he should be fine.

"fourth-level, no, fifth-level." Rooney's voice came.

"fourth-level? What? Fourth-level? " The old man was still mumbling at first, but in the next second, he was stunned on the spot and turned his head stiffly.

He saw that the standard level 4 alchemy device had already lit up, and the level 5 device was shining slightly.

The old man's eyes twitched. He wanted to curse but didn't know what to say.

Fourth-level?

Rooney also blinked his eyes. This level of skill was really not low.

Of course, there were many people who could make high-quality potions Department, but after all, they often made it, and practice made perfect. However, it was really rare for an unaffiliated apprentice to be able to make such high-quality potions.

However, if he could recruit such a person, Rooney would be very happy. There would be additional rewards.

Immediately, the way he looked at Eli was different. He showed a bright smile, which was in sharp contrast to his cold tone yesterday.

He walked over directly, looked at Eli, and said with a smile, "Congratulations,"

The old man's face darkened, and he closed his eyes.

It was so uncomfortable.

127 The Benefits

Eli was successfully employed by the potions Department.

On the way to the identity verification, fatty was very enthusiastic.

"My name is Rooney, or you can just call me Ron. We will be colleagues in the future." Rooney said enthusiastically.

"Can you tell me about the specific treatment of the demon potion Department?" Eli asked.

"of course, you don't have to work for a long time in the magic potion Department. You just have to complete a certain amount of work. Of course, if you want to get more magic stones, you can work overtime." Rooney replied with a smile.

"What about the work location?"

"At home or at the Department. It's all up to you." Rooney replied. "Our department's basic salary is 10 magic stones a month, no more and no less. If you work harder or have a higher success rate, you can even reach 20 or 30. My potioneering is average, so I only get around 15 magic stones a month."

Eli nodded.

"Oh, also, if you join our potions Department, you'll be able to see a portion of the potions knowledge left behind by the Magi of the past. Although you can't understand a lot of it, it'll still be of great help to us.

"What a pity, who would have thought that the once powerful Magi would be replaced by warlocks." Rooney sighed.

Eli's eyes lit up. As expected, there were more official resources. He had just joined a Department, and there were already such benefits. This made Eli feel pleasantly surprised.

He had received quite a few potioneering legacies, but not enough.

He didn't expect that after being here for only a year, he would have to start living as a garbage man.

All of a sudden, the benefits were secondary.

"Oh, there are also a lot of internal resources that can be bought with a 10% discount!" Rooney cast a glance at Eli and chuckled.

Eli had already confirmed that he didn't join the department in vain.

"Alright, we've arrived." Suddenly, Rooney stopped. In front of him was a three-story circular building like a Colosseum. It was neither big nor small.

"Let's go. This is our usual workplace." Rooney strode over and put his hand on Eli's shoulder.

A glint flashed in Eli's eyes, and his majestic spiritual energy instantly tensed up. Then, he realized that Rooney did not have any ill intentions, and was very weak. Only then did he relax.

If they were in any other place, it was possible that Eli would have killed Rooney in an instant.

"What's the matter?" Rooney still did not know that he had been on the verge of death.

"It's fine, it's fine," Eli shook his head and followed him in.

As soon as he entered, the overwhelming smell of ingredients instantly drowned him.

Within the three-story building, Eli stood at the bottommost level and looked around.

Other than the first floor, which seemed to be a lot of offices and a storage area for materials, the other two floors were rooms in circles, and the smell of potions was coming from them.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was an explosion in one of the rooms. The door opened, and a pharmacist walked out with a disheveled look.

"that's the pharmacist from the Department. It looks like something happened." Rooney tilted his head and laughed.

"How many pharmacists are there currently?" Eli asked, puzzled.

"About 30 people. Many of them are at home." Rooney answered as he walked.

"We're here." Suddenly, the two of them came to a room, and Rooney stopped.

"Give me your identity card and register it. You will be a permanent resident of the camp and will be certified by the potion department!" Rooney stretched out his hand, and Eli handed over his identity card.

"So I don't need to pay a magic stone per month anymore? "

"Nonsense. The camp now pays you." Rooney laughed as he took the token and walked inside.

Soon, Rooney walked out again and handed the token to Eli. He took it and saw an image of a potion bottle on the token. It was the image of the potion Department.

Eli took the token and found that it had been branded with a small spell formation, which should be used to prove his identity.

"Alright. You'll have to slowly understand what else there is. Relax. Once you're in the Department, as long as you don't go overboard, they won't fire you. That's why the opportunity to join us is so precious."

"Yes, yes." Eli also understood the position of this Department.

Rooney then brought Eli to a few other places.

Where were the places to store materials, where were the places to store magical medicine knowledge, where were the Places to Work, and where were the places to rest…

Among them, when Eli saw the room with magical pharmaceutical knowledge, his eyes lit up, but he managed to hold it in. He would take a look at it in the future.

"Also, let's go see the Minister. She seems to be here today." Rooney seemed to have thought of something and said.

"Alright," Eli nodded. He hoped that the leader would not cause too much trouble.

The two of them came to the first floor again. In front of a large door, Rooney was the first to knock.

"Come in!"

Rooney opened the door and reminded Eli to go in with him.

He opened the door and saw a small room filled with the smell of magic plants. There was a large table and some common furniture. A woman was sitting behind the table.

The woman looked quite pretty. Her eyes were slightly red, and her hair was all white. historical

Rabbit ears?

That was Eli's first reaction, but the next second, he realized that the woman must be a first-circle sorcerer who had fused with an extraordinary rabbit.

"Chief evena, this is a newcomer. I've brought him to meet you."

"good day, Minister. I'm Herman." Eli said politely.

"Yes, you're quite good-looking." Evena glanced at Eli, then nodded.

Right now, Eli should be in his thirties, using his former appearance of a man in his thirties. He looked very mature and charming.

That's not right. Is that something a minister should say meeting her new worker for the first time?

"Ahem, I'm evena, the head of the camp's potions Department. I'm a Warlock with the bloodline of the Silvermoon rabbit." Evena seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and coughed. "relax, I'm a kind person. As long as you don't violate the camp's rules, you can do anything you want."

"Thank you, Minister." Eli nodded. It seemed that the Minister was quite easy to talk to, and his days would be a little easier.

"well, that's it then. I still have to go to the casi… I mean, work today. You can leave first." Evena said.

"Yes." Eli nodded. It seemed that Evena was rather interesting. It sounded like she was going to the casino.

If he didn't hear it wrong, the last thing he didn't say should be gambling.

After saying their goodbyes, Eli and Rooney left. After they left, the two of them headed outside.

"Oh, right. There's one thing you should never mention in front of the Minister." Rooney said as if he had remembered something.

Eli was speechless.

"Lose," Rooney came over and said mysteriously.

"Why?"

"You'll find out later." Rooney chuckled. "That's all for today. You can come here and work tomorrow. The materials are also given by the camp." At the door, Rooney bid farewell to Eli.

"Alright, thank you." thank you. Eli expressed his gratitude.

Along the way today, Rooney had helped him solve a lot of doubts.

"It's just a small problem!" Rooney said.

…

The induction ended.

The life of a worker began again.

Making potions might be troublesome for most apprentices, but for Eli, it was really nothing. After collecting the ingredients, Eli successfully completed his portion in two or three minutes. Then, Eli realized another benefit.

The Department had losses. After all, not all concoctions would succeed every time, but Eli's success rate was ridiculously high, so the saved materials all went into his pocket.

His peaceful life continued.

Every few days, Eli would go and collect the ingredients, then go to the place where the potion books were stored to take a look. He reaped a lot, but he didn't go overboard. He still read slowly, not wanting to be too conspicuous.

Regarding Rooney's advice, Eli also understood it later.

As it turned out, Minister evena loved to bet on magic stones, but she had almost never won, so this custom came into being.

This also showed how much of a loser and how much of a player evena was. However, it was true. Every day, Eli only saw evena rarely in the Department, but he occasionally saw her at the gambling place.

As for why you asked Eli why he went to those places, it was naturally for entertainment.

Don't think that warlocks don't have any entertainment. Not to mention gambling and normal entertainment, there are even places like Liuying Street. Some of the women there had even been integrated with bloodlines. Eli was amazed.

With this job, Eli finally settled down here.

He didn't know how long he would be staying here. Eli's thoughts were to push himself to the limit.

This was still the most suitable place for him at the moment.

With resources and the ability to gather knowledge, Eli could only say that it was great.

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

Eli stayed at home as usual.

…

"Is this the place?"

It was nighttime, and the bright moonlight shone down.

Not far from Eli's door, an old man was staring at Eli's house.

"Damn it. It must be him. He took my place. Damn it, 50 magic stones." The old man's face was filled with anger. He was the level 3 Warlock apprentice who was kidnapped by Eli that day.

50 magic stones were all he had, and he was hoping to earn them back. But now, his magic stones were gone.

This caused him to have a rather bad time these few days. Eventually, he found out Eli was the new recruit at the potion department.

Without money and with his old age, he really had no other way out.

"Level 3 acolyte. Hmph, I'm going to kill you." The old man was an acolyte at the peak of Level 3 and had no hope of advancing.

He looked at the wall, and then his figure gradually became invisible. He had fused with a chameleon bloodline, and gradually became the same color as the environment. Then, he walked toward Eli's house.

Losing everything had already driven him mad. He wanted to kill Eli.

"You're going to die!"

He sneered and climbed over the wall.

128 Devouring Power

At this moment.

In the secret realm.

Eli's eyes were tightly shut as he carried out his daily meditation work. Beside him was a small sapling.

This was the sapling that had sprouted from the seed. It was currently about 1.5 meters tall. As it grew, it finally showed some changes.

The elemental concentration around the sapling was higher than the surroundings, about 1.2 times. Eli would often meditate beside it.

Three hours later, Eli ended his meditation.

"Sigh, it took me almost two hundred years to grow it to this height. Ridiculous." Looking at the tree, Eli shook his head.

He knew that the tree would grow slowly, but it didn't have to be this slow.

After watering the sapling with some nutrient fluids, Eli went to other parts of the arcane realm.

In the magic herb field.

A large field of magic herbs grew wantonly. These were all planted here by Eli before. Most of them were zero-circle materials, and some of them were first-circle magic plants that Eli replaced later.

It was a good thing that Eli had this secret garden. Otherwise, he might be suspected if he frequently bought materials in the Warlock camp.

This was also his main asset.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing here was the blood bamboo flower field in the East.

Compared to more than a hundred years ago, the current blood bamboo flower's area was even larger. There were hundreds of them, and four-fifths of them were zero-circle, while the rest were basically all one-circle, which were basically fed by Eli out of boredom when he was trapped.

Of course, these were not important. What was important was the tallest one in the center.

It was two meters tall, and it was much more ferocious than before. The flowers were dozens of centimeters in radius, like man-eating flowers, and their auras were the highest.

This was the first plant that had advanced to the first circle. After Eli's intensive cultivation, it had also reached the advanced level of the first circle. However, due to the limitations of Eli's own ability level, he was unable to advance the flower further.

But even so, the blood bamboo flowers it provided were enough for Eli to use.

Compared to the slow growth of the elemental conversion process, Eli's mental power was much faster.

It was a pity that the two restricted each other, and he could not improve too much.

"Let's take it slow." Eli shook his head.

He walked into the blood bamboo field, and all the blood bamboo flowers gave way to him. This was because they sensed a familiar aura from Eli. He ignored the others and walked directly to the side of the central blood bamboo flower.

The tall blood bamboo flower also extended its tentacles, trying to get close to Eli.

"F*ck!" Eli turned his hand around and slapped the tentacle back.

Then, he took the flower and turned to leave.

Blood bamboo flower: "…."

He brought the flower back to the laboratory. There was still a simple device in the laboratory.

A huge, transparent device that looked like a cultivation chamber was floating in the air. Complex spiritual runes were carved on both sides of the device. At this time, a withered blood bamboo flower was floating in the cultivation chamber.

It was a device made of the materials left behind by Nick to observe the blood bamboo flower.

Looking at the withered blood bamboo flower, Eli shook his head. She then opened the device, took it out, and put in a new one.

"Activate the device."

The runes on both sides began to light up, and in the next second, a thin element as thin as a hair shot directly towards the blood bamboo flower. The blood bamboo flower instantly began to shrink, and at the same time, a magical wave was quickly produced.

Eli quickly ran to the experiment table at the side to observe.

In the shattered blood bamboo flowers, a trace of Black Power flashed and disappeared. If one looked closely, one could see that it had absorbed the blood of the surrounding blood bamboo flowers in an instant.

This was the unique devouring power of the blood bamboo flower.

The power to devour blood, or rather, the power to devour life.

Unfortunately, this fluctuation only lasted for a second, and it spread out very slowly, making it impossible for Eli to observe it.

"The equipment is still too poor. I need more money to get something better." Eli shook his head.

To a certain extent, doing experiments was another way of burning money.

What was burned was money, and what was gained was experience and knowledge.

However, he did not succeed every time.

"I'll slowly save money or see if there are any other ways." Elie shook his head. Unlike his time in Brnye, he was currently too poor.

Magic stones were much harder to earn than Tarls.

After casually jotting down some data, Eli began his normal experiments and studies, constantly reviewing the potion knowledge he had learned recently. It was a pity that he could not see everything in the knowledge base, and his authority only allowed him to see a portion.

Just like that, an ordinary night passed in the experiment.

In fact, he only slept for about four hours a day, which was more than enough for a normal mage.

…

The next day, Eli walked out of the laboratory.

He stretched his body, then sensed that there was no one outside, so he directly left the secret realm.

He packed his things and walked out of the door.

"Eh?" As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a corpse lying under the brambles of the fence.

Thorn was from Bryne. Eli had cultivated the vines to the top of the zero-circle level. It was responsible for guarding the house for Eli along with the spell formation. And if Eli was not mistaken, the corpse was the old man he had kidnapped.

Needless to say, just by looking at the old man's appearance, he knew what had happened.

"How can you barge into someone else's room?!" Eli shook his head and then began to search the old man's belongings.

There were only five magic stones!

"Poor bastard!" After complaining, Eli left the house.

"Herman, are you going to the potions Department again?" Victor stood at the door of his house and greeted Eli.

"Yes." Eli nodded.

"let's have a drink tonight. I got some good wine this time. It's made from first-circle materials." Victor had always been enthusiastic.

"Sure." Eli didn't refuse.

Ten minutes later, Eli arrived at the potions Department.

Before he even entered, he could already hear a wave of wailing sounds coming from inside.

Did something happen?

Eli walked in and saw Minister Evena in the middle of the hall turn and walk into a room not far away. Many pharmacists were scattered in the hall.

"Rooney, what's going on?" Eli asked when he saw the familiar Rooney.

"Sigh, don't bring it up." Rooney saw it was Eli and shook his head. "our potions Department hasn't been doing well recently, especially the silent Crescent potion. Recently, the camp brought in a new potion from the outside, and its effect is 20% better and 10% cheaper.

"The department's main export to the camp is the silent Crescent potion, so our base salary has been reduced a lot." Rooney sighed.

"I see!" Eli felt a little numb. "Is there any solution now?"

"Of course not." Rooney cast a glance at Eli and said,

"however, the Department has issued a reward. If you can improve the potion or provide a new, cheaper, and more effective potion, you can not only become the Deputy Minister, but you can also get one-twentieth of the profits of the new potion for the next 30 years."

Deputy Minister?!

"There's a Deputy Minister in the Department?" Eli was puzzled. He had been here for more than a month, but he had never heard of any Deputy Minister.

"there should have been one, but department head Evena has been here for five or six years, and she never set it up." Rooney cast a glance at Eli.

"Forget it. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I haven't finished my mission today." Rooney sighed and turned to leave.

The department's poor performance affected everyone in the Department.

"Alright," he said.

Eli shook his head and prepared to go get the materials.

"what? Can you only collect the materials three times a month? " Eli felt even more numb. historical

"Sorry, pharmacist Herman. Things are a little tight at the moment." The one distributing the materials was an apprentice, and he said apologetically.

"Fine!" Eli waved his hand. His life was being affected. "I'll go home."

…

Time slowly passed.

And in these three months, Eli also learned about the specific situation.

It turned out that the new potion was called the sun Corolla potion, which was a product of a new force that the camp leader had produced with an outside force. It was why it was allowed to enter the camp. On the one hand, it increased income, and on the other hand, it was a competition to create productivity.

But what the camp leader didn't seem to think about was that the sun Corolla's potion seemed to be much better than the silent Crescent. This caused the magic potion Department to be defeated in an instant and fall into a disadvantageous situation.

In any case, in the past three months, the magic potion Department had been selling fewer and fewer silent Crescent magic potions. This directly led to less work for Eli and the rest. This was not a good thing. At least, the money that Eli received this month was a third less than the previous month.

In this regard, several members even resigned directly and joined the shop that produced the sun Corolla potion across the street, which made the situation of the potions Department even worse.

On the other hand, Eli didn't have any thoughts of backing out.

The department that produced the sun Corolla had also contacted him by offering Eli much higher pay, but Eli was not interested at all.

Hence, there was only one way for him. Eli needed to create a new potion to beat Sun Corolla.

After joining the potion department, he noticed that the members did not do any research on potions at all. They only used the calibrated formula and rarely made any improvements.

They had never studied a plant like the crescent moon in detail, and when Eli asked, he found out that this potion was actually found on the body of a first-circle Magus who had been captured decades ago.

Since a first-circle mage could make this potion, there was no reason why Eli couldn't improve it.

What a joke, Eli might still be a first-circle mage, but when it came to potions, not many first-circle mages could compare to him with more than two hundred years of research.

It was time to let this group of warlocks, who had abandoned the pursuit of the truth, fear knowledge again.

After taking some time off to complete a month's worth of missions, Eli purchased a large number of potions and began his experiments.

Even if it was not for anything else, it was for the one-twentieth of the future profit.
