in the name of the queen.

Roland was a little surprised that Lisa actually knew how to retreat in order to advance.

If it were her old self, she would definitely be determined to rush through this door, and even the gods wouldn’t be able to stop her.

Seeing Roland's surprised expression, Lisa glared at him with some dissatisfaction, her beautiful eyes seemed to be protesting, "People always grow up, and I am no exception!"

After the middle-aged magician was punished, Lisa and Roland quickly returned to the carriage.

Before they returned to the Garden of Eden, they saw a familiar figure.

Sura was waiting for them at the carriage door.

Roland felt something was wrong because Sura's eyes were obviously dim, and there was even a hint of red under his eyes.

Sensing that something was wrong with Sura, Roland winked at Lisa and went forward first.

"Mr. Sura, long time no see."

Lisa and Sura are both disciples of Teacher Anthony. Once they fall out, there will be no way to save them.

If there is bound to be a conflict, Roland might as well go first.

Lisa did not stop Roland. At the critical moment, she trusted Roland even more than herself.

Sura didn't even notice that Roland was not far away from him. He was shocked by Roland's words and lowered his voice and said:
"This is not the place to talk, let's go."

"Brother Sura, get in the car."

Lisa finally showed up and invited Sura.

Sura looked at the unicorn pulling the cart with a complicated expression.

With the end of the Battle of White Mountain and the advent of the Fourth Day of Return, many legendary creatures emerged from nowhere. Although unicorns were rare, he had seen them after all.

What surprised him was that the four unicorns were willing to pull the cart for Lisa.

Unicorns are proud and holy beasts. They rarely serve humans, let alone do rough labor like pulling carts that would hurt their self-esteem.

Without thinking too much, Sura followed Roland into the carriage.

Following Lisa's instructions, the gorgeous carriage pulled by the unicorn rushed towards the west gate of Lazio City.

This street has a special path for horse-drawn carriages, so there is no need to worry about running over pedestrians.

Inside the carriage, Sura's shock was beyond words.

Although Lisa only showed him the first floor and the true appearance of the Garden of Eden was not visible at all, the chariot still showed incredible power.

"Is this a divine weapon?" Sura asked softly.

Lisa did not answer directly, but whispered: "Please keep it a secret for me."

Sura was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Lisa, you are indeed the disciple that the teacher values ​​the most. Both your strength and luck are so good."

It would be fine if we didn't talk about this, but Lisa became a little unhappy when she did.

"Really? But I can't even get into the door of the teacher's magic tower."

She recounted what happened just now when someone blocked the road.

Sura's expression was a little complicated, and he sighed faintly: "Lisa, you haven't been here in the past few months, so you don't know what happened recently."

Lisa looked at Sura nervously, her voice slightly shaky, "Is the teacher okay?"

"He's very good, just a little too good."

Sura struggled for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth.

Lazio was once the capital of the Magic Empire. The Talia Kingdom was weak and decided to ally with the Magic Association.

The result of the compromise between the two parties was that Anthony and the Talia royal family secretly united and reached an agreement, announcing that the Talia Kingdom as a whole would join the Magic Association and prepare for the reconstruction of the Magic Empire.

After forming a secret alliance, Anthony felt the guidance of a mysterious force and ventured into the ruins of the old capital.

He didn't hold out much hope at first, but between life and death he found a secret passage leading to the imperial treasury from the ruins of the old capital.

He obtained the last treasure of the magic empire.

Anthony was extremely excited. This was the blessing of the goddess of luck!

He believed that all this was arranged by fate and could not be defied.

The Talia royal family also hopes to curry favor with the powerful. They have always lacked a sense of security and are good at changing their attitude according to the situation. Since there is hope for the revival of the Magic Empire, they will certainly support it.

Both sides announced to the outside world that they were only cooperating for a win-win situation, but in fact they were preparing for the reconstruction of the empire.

"Those rude magicians are quick-trained magicians selected from the Kingdom of Talia."

"I never thought that these guys who cast spells with magic patterns were magicians."

Thinking of this, Sura felt a little indignant. The training of an orthodox magician requires a very long period and strict selection. Only an outstanding genius like Lisa can skip these training processes.

What are these quick-made magicians? They don't even have much magical talent. They just rely on the magic pattern engraving technology that Anthony found from the imperial ruins to force them to do so.

There is a limit on the number of magic stones that can be engraved with magic patterns, so priority is given to the royal family and nobles.

The middle-aged magician who had just been showing off in front of Roland and Lisa was such a quick-learning magician.

This drunken and womanizing dandy didn't even know Lisa and Roland, which is why he made such a joke.

"So, the teacher is fine and has no problem with me?"

Lisa let out a sigh and the smile returned to her face.

Sura was stunned, and suddenly thought of Lisa's identity, and regretted it for a moment. He only thought that Lisa was a core member of the Magic Association, but subconsciously forgot that her homeland was the Kingdom of Talia.

Between the country and the inheritance of her master, she probably still values ​​her motherland.

Sura suddenly felt a little bored and didn't want to say anything.

Perhaps he was the only one who still cared about the purity of the Magic Empire. In the eyes of the teacher, rebuilding the empire was more important than anything else. As for whether this empire was still the Magic Empire that people knew, he no longer cared.

Where there is magic, there is an empire, and this is the Magic Empire.

Looking at Sura's lost expression, Lisa knew what he was thinking, and she quickly stood up and stood in front of Sura.

"Sura, I am both an official of Talia and a core member of the Magic Association. I don't want everyone's interests to be harmed."

Sura smiled and said nothing. I guess the merger was the result Lisa wanted to see.

However, Lisa's next words made him a little stunned.

"I want to have a serious talk with you, Sensei. The Magic Empire had a chance to reach the top but unfortunately missed it. It will be extremely difficult to rise again. I just hope that Sensei will not be consumed by obsession."

Sura's lips trembled with excitement. Lisa's words touched his heart. Compared with the purity of the magic empire, he was more worried about Anthony.

Some of the things I said may sound impolite, but they are the truth. Teacher Anthony's ability is not enough to handle such ambitions. If he insists on his own opinion, he will hurt himself sooner or later.

Anthony, Sulla and other magicians did not participate in the Battle of White Mountain. But the performance of Sophia and others made Sulla realize that the era of the magic empire was over.

Putting aside the monster Sophia that was beyond cognition, the performances of Roland, Sif and others were also quite impressive.

This kind of genius was extremely rare even in the era of the Magic Empire where heroes emerged in large numbers, but in this era they appeared in large numbers.

This is enough to prove that this era belongs to the extraordinary people rather than magicians.

Magic pattern engraving can create a new magic army, but these people only have immediate combat power and do not have much potential. Although it is bitter, the once high-spirited Sura realizes that it is impossible to rebuild the magic empire. If the magic association wants to save itself, it can only choose the savior they think of and assist them wholeheartedly.

Holding on to the right person is also a way to win.

Anthony thought so before the ruins of the empire were discovered, but now his mind has changed.

Lisa and Sura communicated for a long time and basically understood Anthony's mentality.

After Sura said goodbye and left, looking at Lisa's fiery eyes, Roland gave up the idea of ​​persuading her to give up.

"Roland, why don't you persuade me?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Sister, if you listen to my advice and turn back, you will often regret this in the future. Rather than regretting it, I hope to face it side by side with you."

Seeing Roland's calm expression, Lisa's originally irritable mood improved a lot.

She pondered for a moment and made a final decision.

"Roland, let me go in by myself. There are some things that I can talk to the teacher alone. It will be different if you are present."

She raised her hand to stop Roland's protest and took out an amulet and gave it to Roland.

"If I really need to break out, I will crush the amulet, and you must come to rescue me."

Lisa was firm in her attitude, and Roland couldn't object.

It was only a few hundred meters from the Magic Tower to the Garden of Eden, but it might be their longest journey.

Seeing Roland's reluctant expression, Lisa smiled and comforted him: "Roland, don't worry too much. I know the teacher. Even if we have different ideas, he won't hurt me."

"Even if we can't be allies, at least we shouldn't be enemies."

Roland took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lisa, as long as Anthony doesn't hurt you and doesn't hinder us, I can support the reconstruction of the Magic Empire, but I will not harm the interests of me and my allies."

This was his biggest concession, allowing the Magic Empire to join as a new major player and share the spot with the Talia Kingdom.

But the Magic Empire cannot seek compensation from the countries of the Rodinia Alliance.

If they want vast territories, they can go to the Southern Continent or the New Continent.

Magic Tower.

This super-tall building, which is several hundred meters high, is really a bit ahead of its time, but it is just child's play compared to the super magic towers that were several thousand meters high during the Magic Empire.

And this magic tower is already the tallest magic tower owned by the Magic Association.

The height of the magic tower is just a microcosm, but it truly reflects the decline of the magic empire.

Lisa took a deep breath and walked towards the magic tower. This time, the guard was not the middle-aged magician from before, but an orthodox magician from the Magic Association.

The great magician Ronin knew Lisa, and he also knew that she was Master Anthony's most trusted disciple.

He didn't say anything, just made an inviting gesture to Lisa.

"Ms. Lisa, Master Anthony is waiting for you."

"Who was that just now?" Lisa didn't care about the identity of the middle-aged magician, but she couldn't act like she didn't care.

Even if you pretend, you have to pretend that you care.

"Thorim, a man-made magician, a famous playboy in Lazio, but a real loser that even you and Roland don't know."

When Roning thought of Lisa's identity, he stopped talking.

After obtaining magical powers, these noble magicians did not think about how to explore the mysteries of magic, but greedily used the magical powers to enjoy themselves.

Although the potential of magic pattern magicians is not as good as that of orthodox magicians, they are not incapable of improvement. Their strength improvement speed is no less than that of orthodox magicians. The only thing they lose is their magic perception and control ability.

They are like the max-level characters that appear in the catch-up mode in online games. They seem very powerful, but in fact their understanding of magic is far inferior to that of orthodox magicians.

As long as these people have the patience to concentrate on research, they may be able to achieve success, but they choose to enjoy themselves.

Ronin was quite critical of this. Before Lisa entered the tower, he finally couldn't help but whispered:

"Lisa, if you have a chance, please persuade your teacher. The number of places for magic pattern engraving is limited, and at least one third of them have been wasted now. Sigh."

Lisa nodded to show that she understood. She didn't look back, but strode up and reached the top floor through the teleportation array.

The structure of the magic tower is completely different from other buildings.

The structure of the magic tower itself is a cone-shaped structure that is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, but at the top of the cone there is a very wide, outward-floating circular building.

This is the top floor of the magic tower.

The top floor of the Lazio Magic Tower is incredibly spacious.

Standing on the top platform and overlooking the entire city, it feels like you are high above the clouds.

If I were a teacher, I would probably find it difficult to resist this temptation. Lisa roughly understood Anthony's mentality and had an idea of ​​how to persuade him.

When she arrived in front of Anthony's magic library, the thick door opened automatically and a magic puppet stood at the door to greet her.

Lisa walked into the library, and before she arrived, she could hear her clear laughter.

"Teacher, I haven't been here for a few months. Your home is becoming more and more luxurious."

When Lisa stood in front of him, Anthony looked slightly stunned.

He could not see any mockery in Lisa's eyes; it was a serious compliment.

He was afraid that Lisa would play the emotional card again, so he simply said in a deep voice: “Lisa, a lot of things have happened recently. Su La should have told you, right?”

"Ah."

"Lisa, I don't have a choice. Rebuilding the Magic Empire is my oath to open the ruins of the Empire, and I must do it."

Anthony's eyes drifted out the window and he didn't meet Lisa's eyes because he wasn't telling the whole truth.

His oath is to preserve the flame of the Magic Empire and to secure a place for the Magic Empire in the new era.

His original plan was to occupy a place in the new era through Lisa and Roland, but he found the blood stone left by a chief consul.

Anthony was attracted by the powerful force and clear laws contained in this blood stone.

If you can become stronger yourself, who would be willing to assist others?
"Teacher, do you want to rebuild the magic empire?"

Faced with Lisa's questions, Anthony chose to remain silent.

Silence at this point is tacit agreement.

"Teacher, I understand you. If there is absolutely no chance, you can give up without regrets. But you saw hope in the ruins, and it would be hard for you to give up."

She also had this feeling of unwillingness.

Fortunately, she had a happy ending.

Thinking of Roland, the corners of Lisa's lips slightly raised, and she no longer had any resentment towards the teacher.

She smiled and said, "Teacher, Roland and I are willing to fully support you, but the territory of the New Magic Empire cannot expand to the countries of Rodinia."

Anthony raised his eyebrows, clenched his strong hands suddenly, and then slowly loosened them.

"The Association and the Kingdom of Talia are both members of the Rodinia Alliance. How could they possibly attack their allies? Please tell Roland that our target is the Southern Continent." (End of this chapter)
