I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 538 The Silver Empire and the Arcane Spring

Catherine waited for a while but didn't hear the door open.

She frowned, but couldn't sense anyone outside.

Whose prank was this?
Catherine shook her head slightly and bent down to continue her official duties.

But just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

"Please come in."

she whispered.

But there was still no movement outside the door.

Catherine put down the documents in her hand and looked towards the door.

So he simply stood up and walked over.

The moment her hand touched the doorknob, a flutter of excitement crossed her heart.

This was a sudden whim of someone from the Heavenly Realm.

She frowned.

what happened.

But despite the intuitive thrill, there was no sense of danger whatsoever.

My heart was pounding.

Catherine became increasingly strange.

She simply opened the door, wanting to see what was outside.

But that one glance was enough to leave Catherine stunned.

Standing outside the door were not Onamir and Mel, who were playing a prank.

It was not Kureya who returned from Anlos.

Instead... Mina!
How could it be Mina!

Catherine decided to close the door, rub her eyes, and see if she was hallucinating or if Ann was deliberately messing with her...

She even wondered if Lucia had returned from the Void Tower ahead of schedule.

Or perhaps I'm still asleep...

But a large hand pressed against the edge of the door, preventing Catherine from closing it.

"What, you're already turning your fiancé away after only a few months apart?"

Those slightly flippant words, that familiar voice, that hateful face that appears in my dreams countless nights.

This made Catherine a little flustered for a moment.

She had no idea how to face the person in front of her—the surprise came too suddenly.

"you……"

When she opened her mouth, she was surprised to find that her voice was hoarse, trembling, and even had a sob in it.

She closed her eyes.

Take a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, she was once again the high and mighty Regent Queen of Ansu.

"Mina."

"I am back."

Mina laughed.

Catherine was speechless at this point, and simply rushed over.

It's filled with a subtle fragrance, a familiar scent.

Mina lowered her head, and Catherine went to meet her.

For a long time.

Lip points.

Catherine's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Why are you back?"

"miss you."

Mina laughed.

Catherine glared at him.

"Are you tired of that girl?"

Mina immediately said, "How could that be?"

Catherine glanced at her sideways. "Aren't you tired of it yet?"

Mina immediately fell silent.

So sour.

However, Mina, who had been through many battles, naturally knew what to do at this time.

Mina scooped Catherine up in his arms and, amidst her gasp, strode through the door.

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Catherine laughed happily and put her arms around Mina's neck.

"Today, you belong to me," she said with a smile.

Mina also said, "Then I'll show you the true power of the Sea Dragon Body at its peak Star Radiance."

Although it was said to be one day, Mina and Catherine actually secluded themselves for three whole days.

Over the past three days, officials of all ranks in the Orn territory have noticed something unusual.

I can't find the lord.

However, when they saw Princess Lucia wandering the streets and alleys in search of delicious food, they had a vague idea.

Lord Mina may have returned.

Uh.

It's not surprising that Lady Catherine has disappeared.

But it's been three whole days.

Isn't that too long?

How could Catherine, an arcane mage, possibly be a match for Mina, who possessed the body of a sea dragon?

Let alone three days, they lost the match in just one day.

Of course, the two of them together are not just a simple duel between mages.

Meditation.

Compared to Kureha and Catherine, Mina was much more familiar with their meditation methods.

Mina herself practiced the meditation method of Ognegula.

However, Catherine did not reach the fifth level of cultivation.

It's even much behind Kureya's previous training progress.

But things are different now.

Mina is back.

Mina herself is a master of the Ognegula meditation method, without needing anyone else.

If you were to ask who in this world is most proficient in arcane meditation, and whose Ognegula meditation is of the highest level.

It must be Mina.

The eighth level of arcane meditation has already reached a new height that is unprecedented.

With just a few words, Catherine almost broke through to the fifth level.

Mina wasn't idle either; he lit up Mina's Hand and placed it on Catherine's body.

This star-shaped finger, which could please even the gods, also allowed Catherine to push her limits in various ways while enjoying herself.

In those waves of gray-colored surging, I felt the true power of arcane gray-colored magic.

It is said that this is a power that can replace the original source, which is why Catherine is obsessed with it.

Through each breakthrough, I remembered every detail.

Fifth dan, sixth dan... seventh dan!
In just three days, Catherine mastered the seventh level of arcane meditation.

Mina even left a seed of gray-colored power within her body.

It's like a spark, with many wonderful uses.

It's safe to say that even if a five-layered Starshine were to arrive now, it wouldn't be able to stop Catherine's casual arcane missile.

It's a pity that Catherine didn't make a contract with Mina.

Otherwise, you could be like Lucia, directly reaching level 5 and achieving Star Glory.

Are you thinking about Lucia again?

"No."

Meena answered immediately.

"really?"

Catherine reached down with her slender hand, "I don't believe it."

Mina glared at her, leaving her with no choice but to force Catherine to believe him.

When Catherine and Mina returned, Mel was just coming out of her alchemy room.

Looking at Mina with Catherine, I felt a little dizzy.

I immediately thought of that bottle of medicine from three days ago.

"Mina, it really is you." Mina smiled: "Sister Mel, I'm back."

Mina's return has brought excitement to the entire Orn territory.

Mina has also returned to the daily struggles between the two sisters.

Watching the two bickering sisters, Mina rubbed her forehead, wondering when she would be able to fulfill her biggest dream from her childhood.

A week later.

Mina saw Olivia and Inolia having a great time in the capital.

It's time to return to the Vaults of Orgrimmar.

This time, the process will be simple.

With a casual wave of her hand, Catherine opened the doors to the treasure vault.

Seven-stage meditation method + arcane gray color, it's that easy.

Entering this place again, everything felt so familiar. Nothing in this world could obstruct Mina's view anymore.

Ognegula's ancestor was likely a Star-level powerhouse, and he concealed some of his abilities quite well.

However, Mina still managed to find them, including the Holy Spring and the Root Holy Spring.

The problem is that, as Olivia said, this sacred spring is indeed just a part of the original arcane sacred spring.

Or to put it bluntly, it's just a fragment.

But no matter what, it is a genuine arcane spring.

Standing by the holy spring, both Catherine and Olivia felt the arcane power flowing from it.

Olivia had only mastered five levels of meditation, yet she had already gained profound insights. Having mastered the fifth level of overclocking, Olivia could clearly feel the ultimate power of arcane magic.

While Catherine, who has already reached the seventh level of meditation, may not be as strong overall as Olivia, who has reached the eighth level, her understanding of arcane magic is at a higher level, allowing her to look down upon it.

The ultimate form of arcane magic, and the very essence of arcane magic after breaking through its limits...

How magnificent that complete Arcane Fountain was once!

It is very likely that it has already connected with the source of that arcane art.

But now, it is completely broken.

Even the Arcane Sea is difficult to connect to.

Mina walked over.

The nearby arcane constructs treated Mina's arrival with utmost respect and offered no obstruction whatsoever.

He simply reached his hand into the arcane spring.

Close your eyes and imagine communicating with the Sea of ​​Elements through the nodes of the Root Spring in the training towers of Shagus and Angus.

This fragment of the origin of the ancient continent of Orn should have the same function.

The fluctuations of those elements, and that feeling.

Grayish-colored power surged around Mina.

The Eight-Stage Meditation Technique erupted with a roar, and the magic power, arcane power, gray power, and gray-colored power in the sea of ​​magic surged and communicated with the arcane holy spring.

At that moment, Mina saw a reflection in the holy spring.

That is the Sea of ​​Elements in the core of the elements, a true sea of ​​arcane magic.

The magenta ocean is so dazzling.

But just as Mina wanted to go deeper and explore the true arcane ocean, the reflection shattered.

"boom!"

The entire vault of Orgnegula, and even the entire Arcane Spring, trembled violently.

Catherine and Olivia are forcibly holding this world together.

"Mina, Mina!"

Lucia called out to Mina, urging her to open her eyes.

Mina also noticed the anomaly, and with a wave of her hand, the power of gray color repaired the rift in the treasure vault space.

The method I just used to connect to the Arcane Sea was too crude.

The sacred spring itself was already broken, and he almost destroyed the treasure vault space.

Mina shook her head and sighed.

"If only this sacred spring could remain intact."

No, even if more fragments are pieced together, it will still be able to communicate with the source land. At least with Mina's abilities, he can connect with the Arcane Sea.

At that time, whether it's him, Catherine, or Olivia, they will all be able to enter the Sea of ​​Arcane Arts and practice arcane arts without restraint.

Who knows... he might even reach the sixth dan.

If you only need to reach the sixth level, you don't necessarily need to reach the origin level.

There are many ways.

"Actually, I also know of a place where there are fragments of the Arcane Spring's origin."

At this moment, Olivia suddenly spoke.

Her gaze fell on Mina, her eyes resolute, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Oh?"

Mina turned around and looked at Olivia.

Olivia gently smoothed her long, wavy hair and looked at Mina: "Have you ever heard of the Silver Empire?"
-
Three days later, at the border between the Orn Territory and the Ernst Territory.

Mina once sent people here to search for the ruins of the Silver Empire.

But to no avail.

In that valley, under a tall tree, Mina and Catherine stood beside Olivia.

"This is it."

Olivia laughed.

Inoria looked at Olivia: "You really know about the ruins of the Silver Empire?"

"Of course."

"Then why did you lie to me that you didn't know?"

"It's a secret."

Olivia laughed.

Inoria rolled her eyes. She knew this was definitely Olivia getting revenge on her for not telling Olivia that she was a divine beast.

Everyone has their own little secrets.

But as these little secrets are revealed to each other, it shows that both sides are moving towards each other.

Olivia raised her hand, and a unique arcane light flickered in it, vibrating with a rhythm and frequency that Mina could not understand at all.

It's like a signal, or some kind of key and switch.

It flickers between light and darkness, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.

From demigod to the eighth level of power.

When an arcane beam of light burst forth, piercing the heavens and the earth.

A force of at least nine levels suddenly exploded within the valley.

The terrifying magic was as vast as the sea, and it rippled outwards, covering the entire valley.

Legend has it that long, long ago, before Ansu and Ernst ruled the land of Ansu, before Ansu and Anlos were even born.

The land of Senanhill wasn't called Senanhill yet.

At that time, the Nadashir monastery did not yet exist.

The Helos were a human tribe located west of the Takaten Mountains.

On this fertile land east of the High Heaven Mountains stands a vast elven empire, even larger and more prosperous than the current Elven Village.

At that time, the realm of gods had just shattered.

During that period, the Silver Empire was the most powerful nation on the entire continent.

Even the forces in the Land of Inheritance are far from being able to contend with the Silver Empire.

The demons of the Takaten Mountains were almost wiped out by the Silver Queen.

At that time, the elves possessed the two most developed sacred springs in the world.

One is the Holy Spring of Magic.

It continuously supplies magic power to the entire Silver Empire.

Even third- or fourth-level elven mage apprentices possess almost inexhaustible magical power.

Any magical communicator can transmit messages from one end of the continent to the other.

There are even rumors that most of the Elemental Lands are the territory of the Silver Empire.

The Sea of ​​Magic was nothing more than the backyard of the high elves.

In that sea of ​​magic, they practiced magic without restraint, researching and developing ninety-nine percent of the magic and skills in this world.

It established magical rules that have lasted for countless millennia.

There is also a legend that it was around that time that magic officially became the most fundamental power in the world and was mastered by humankind.

There are even legends that the elves have mastered the magical spring, the method to communicate with the source land, and have personally created the Void Tower.

Of course, there is another explanation.

The sacred spring used when building the Void Tower was not the magical sacred spring of the Silver Empire, but another sacred spring that was even larger than the magical sacred spring.

That was a sacred spring that truly connected with the source of the earth.

It can explain all the truths of this world and has the potential to build the Void Tower into the most powerful holy spring in the world of the second divine realm—the Arcane Holy Spring.
