Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 883 Yuri's Terrifying Aspects

The Lord of Ice has an unusual view of fairness: as long as you offer him a satisfactory gift, he will give an appropriate reward, regardless of whether the person conducting the sacrifice is a human or a dog.

So, although the Church of Ice mainly consists of people and dogs, quite a few ice-type magical beasts also worship it.

The true nature of Warcraft is even more naked; everything is driven by self-interest, and the laws and doctrines of the Lord of Ice naturally align with their nature.

In fact, humanity has long known that rather than saying the Lord of Ice is evil, it is more accurate to say that he is essentially a manifestation of the natural law of the survival of the fittest.

But when this principle is applied to human society, it becomes evil.

Therefore, normal people still wouldn't worship the Lord of Ice, even though he has been recognized by the gods.

But if someone is forced to take the icy path when they have nowhere else to go, no one will condemn them.

After all, once you take that road, you're almost completely cut off from human society.

Everyone understands that people may live in seclusion, but they will never willingly live a dog-like life.

But the tower is different.

While some of the Tower followers were forced into it, the majority actively embraced evil.

They are born villains, which is why they were chosen and taken back by the people of the Tower Church.

These guys, rejected by society and hunted by the powerful, also need a secret place to hide... Rather than believers, they are more like the 'filth' of a place that harbors filth, unable to live without that place.

Unfortunately, compared to the Ice Cultists, the Tower Cultists are more likely to appear in human society and thrive.

Although Milian was somewhat surprised by his identity, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Many of the Tower's followers are paid to do things, especially these assassins and swordsmen who have turned themselves into weapons.

His appearance does not represent the will of the Tower Lord.

Although that person harmed many people, he was also harmed by his own followers.

That's all normal.

We need to see if others can keep up with the pace to make a more accurate judgment.

That wouldn't be his job.

Yuri will do it.

His most important task now is to use the broken sword in front of him to refine his masterpiece, which he has been working on for ten years!
Milian gave a happy smile and soared into the sky.

Completely unaware of the ferocious expressions on the faces of the princes and nobles below as they watched him use the palace's magic array.

Leon gave Miriam more power than Travis's own sons combined.

The last person who could do this was Leon's own father.

That was because the eldest prince was in poor health and relatively weak, so Travis made an exception to ensure that he would not encounter any accidents in the palace.

What is Milian?
Although we've long been used to Leon's indifference towards the family, giving such power directly to an outsider with no blood relation... that's still a bit too much!
However, faced with a top-tier swordsman who was fighting to the death for Leon's future, they could only swallow their words... That was a peerless assassin who could fight on par with a max-level assassin swordsman!

Nobody wants to die suddenly from a bloody throat and be judged to have died a normal death.
-
Those with a keen eye within the circle of light would find their restless hearts calmed considerably upon seeing the scholar standing at the intersection of the red carpet magic circle and the royal palace magic circle.

Eight Ain Stones of different colors, mostly purple and gray, were flying around Yuri.

There were also four illusory eyeballs hovering above its head.

A faint white light also connected the eyeball to the Ain Stone.

His silver-gray robe shimmered with strange colors in the illusory light, and his already handsome face even appeared somewhat alluring due to the illumination of the light.

Once people see him with their own eyes, no one will ask, "Why is it that a scroll scholar like him can take over the power of Arslan and control the entire Northern Royal Palace?"

He had never publicly demonstrated this ability before.

An ordinary mage, even at level 16, can only mobilize the energy of four Ain Stones... In the past, Yuri, although he would also appear wearing Ain Stones, only demonstrated this level of power.

Although you can wear many Aion Stones at the same time, only four of them are functional stones that will actually work.

The rest are mostly buff-type stones.

Once you reach the advanced mage level, a little bit of intelligence or agility is just icing on the cake.

The value of Ainstone is too high, and it's not worth pursuing too much... especially for this world that has been locked down for a long time.

If possible, people still prefer to use the purple Ainstone, which absorbs spell energy, to replenish their spell consumption.

Of course, if there were something as good as a pearl white Aion stone that could instantly save lives and automatically replenish life force, everyone would still actively pursue it.

The eight Ainstones surrounding Yuri were a very vivid purple color and rotated in a certain pattern... This was enough to prove that he could use eight energy absorption stones at the same time.

He could even use these Ainstones to form a mana-drawing array... If it were a place with abundant energy, Yuri's spell bar probably wouldn't even drop by half.

Needless to say, spells like Eye of the Peeping, which require a high level of micro-management skills, are even more challenging; being able to understand even one spell is considered quite capable.

Mages capable of using two Eyes of Insight simultaneously are among the most rare in Astral Fortress. In other words, Yuri may lack physical talent, but his intelligence and willpower are several times that of an average mage.

Moreover, he should be born with the ability to multitask or even multitask.

His mastery of multitasking, honed through diligent practice, only allows him to cast different spells simultaneously, but it doesn't enable him to increase the number of Ainstones he can control.

That's something on the level of the soul.

It's like a fixed equipment slot.

Only those born with double or even triple equipment slots are eligible for this.

Later entrants can at most modify the equipment in the equipment slots to have more functions, but they can never increase the number of equipment.

Even Lori could only achieve what Yuri did... Keep in mind, Lori had the body of a dragon and the soul strength of an angel.

If Yuri had been born in Toril, he would surely have become one of the best mages.

What he lacks is simply the opportunity to tap into magical energy.

Even just a little bit.

The Scroll Scholar did allow him to touch the power of magic, but it wouldn't be easy for him to use magical energy to transform his body and adapt to the impact of magical energy before level 20.

The resources required are unimaginable.

Those days at Tiger's Blade were enjoyable, but all I can say is that I was content with my simple life.

Even during Hamilton's time, he didn't have many options.

His and Leon's greatest qualities are their protection and sincerity towards their brothers, but this is also their biggest burden.

Yuri would never keep most of the wealth in his own hands just because he was the one who created it.

However, through his management of his territory and the exchange of resources with the neighboring Qingfeng Territory, he did indeed make a significant leap forward in his scholar level.

Of course, the others also made a lot of progress.

Seven, with his exceptional talent, and Milian, with his strong willpower, have both reached their limits.

Everyone else was also above level 10.

Otherwise, the knights of the Tiger's Blade wouldn't have been so easily accepted by the King's Guard... Soldiers can accept that their leaders trust certain people more, after all, a warrior's back will certainly not be entrusted to a stranger, but they will never accept someone who is much weaker than themselves.

They certainly wouldn't refuse orders, but they also wouldn't cooperate willingly.

However, after arriving at the palace, Arsalan provided a lot of help so that Yuri could take over quickly, and even Travis opened a private treasury for him.

What are extremely expensive magical potions for Yuri are basically just small items to fill the warehouse for these two.

He also used the legendary Ain Stone for the first time.

The stronger Yuri performed, the better Arsalan's attitude became... In order to ensure that Yuri could make several Ain Stones work at the same time, the Archmage did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket.

After confirming Yuri's strength, he taught him many techniques that only top-tier mages knew.

Yuri can now not only control these Ainstones simultaneously, but also use their different attributes and mana fluctuations to create basic magic arrays with various effects.

Don't be fooled by his current purple headdress; he has many other types of stones in his pocket, ready to be used at any time.

This is enough to ensure that his combat power is equivalent to that of a mage of the same level... and this is even before he has taken out the scroll that serves as the medium for casting spells.

Even the renowned Archmage's Staff cannot provide more bonuses to mages than a scroll.

Mages from other worlds, when they can no longer increase their mage level but need to strengthen their power, often choose to take on the role of a scroll scholar.

However, the magical energy that a soul scroll can manifest is basically set in proportion to the current soul strength level.

The stronger the mage, the smaller the proportion.

This is probably related to the stability of the soul.

The stronger the soul, the more robust it is... until finally it no longer needs to rely on the physical body to survive, but instead uses its soul power to nourish the body.

Otherwise, the strong wouldn't all live so long.

However, human lifespan is inherently short, and no matter how strong the soul is, it cannot stop the body from gradually aging... No matter how slowly life force is lost, it is still disappearing little by little.

If it were a dragon or an elf, the same amount of soul power would definitely allow them to live much longer.

The reason why scroll scholars are the strongest scholar profession is that although they do not have the talent of mages, their clever minds allow them to have the most dynamic souls... The greater the fluctuation, the greater the certainty of their abilities.

Once this ratio is fixed, it will naturally not change.

Of course, no matter how large the proportion, the magical fluctuations that scroll scholars can create are still not strong enough... Only with a firm enough soul power can they manipulate more law energy, so the magical damage they can create is still not as good as that of a real mage.
