Chapter 196 The Older Elf
Inside the Demon God's Altar.

Faced with the threat from the powerful figures of the Bruwerman Empire, Ron abandoned Thorn Territory without hesitation, decisively eliminating all risks.

The appearance of powerful figures from the Bruveman Empire in the magic capital is likely not merely a response to the call of the three major papal courts.

After all, the Bruveman Empire had recently clashed with the three major papal courts over the issue of war slaves.

Given the current strength of the Bruyman Empire, it would be completely unnecessary to heed the call of the three major churches, yet he still sent an eighth-tier expert, and even two of them.

Their motives are clearly impure.

Ron knew without a doubt that these two were after him and the Uncrowned King.

Perhaps they already know that the Uncrowned King and he are the same person.

If we let them go, Thorn Territory will surely be plunged into a vortex of war.

Leaving them behind would mean that as long as Thorn Territory remained part of the Kingdom of Lah, it would soon become a target of public criticism.

To avoid having one's territory seized and suffering a loss of reputation, it's better to simply give it up.

The gains I've made in the Thorn Territory during this period have been sufficient.

The two eighth-tier powerhouses from the Bruwerman Empire were completely helpless against Ron's decisiveness.

They certainly wouldn't believe that someone could sever ties with the Thorn Territory with just a few words.

But Ron is different; he's gotten into a habit of moving around and doesn't make any long-term plans for staying in one place.

During his tenure as leader of the Thorn Territory, only its economy and unique institutions developed; there was no progress in its political or military spheres.

The new system in Thorn Territory requires every resident to serve in the military, rotating weekly. What kind of elite soldiers can be trained this way?
If a war really breaks out, what can these stragglers who have only served a week of military service do?
This shows that Ron had no intention of making Thornholds a permanent base, but rather used it temporarily, like Graymisthold and Casselhold.

Now that he says he's giving up, he definitely has.

"in addition……"

"I, Ron Rhinet, declare that the Kingdom of Lah has been restored today in the magical capital of Moragun!"

Ron announced with a smile.

Is restoring a country not considered restoring a country wherever it is located?

Even if the Thorn Territory is gone, there's still the Magic City.

When Ron announced the restoration of the Kingdom of Lah, the crowd was not particularly moved.

After all, this was already the umpteenth time the Kingdom of Lah had been resurrected, and they were used to it.

Under these conditions, it would be strange if Ron did not restore his kingdom.

"The Glorious Church congratulates His Majesty Ron on the restoration of his kingdom."

"The Holy See congratulates His Majesty Ron on the restoration of the kingdom."

"The Church of Truth congratulates His Majesty Ron on the restoration of the kingdom."

The bishops of the three major papal courts exchanged glances and then offered their congratulations one after another.

Other factions also offered their congratulations upon seeing this.

In this situation, whether it's against my will or not, I have to say a few words to cheer Ron up.

Thank you all for your congratulations.

Ron smiled and nodded to accept the congratulations.

"Your Majesty Ron, now that your kingdom has been restored, shouldn't you..."

"Oh, sorry."

Ron snapped his fingers, and the group resumed their movements.

This time, no one left rashly.

"Your Majesty Ron, don't you think this sacrificial array should also be..."

"This won't do. If this is lifted, my country will soon be destroyed again."

Ron said, half-jokingly.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously glanced at the three bishops and the people from the Bruwerman Empire.

Not long ago, the three major Vatican councils even planned to invite Ron to visit the Church of Truth.

The Bruwerman Empire, having just been humiliated, certainly wouldn't swallow its pride.

If this sacrificial array is dispelled, it will indeed be extremely disadvantageous for Ron.

"Your Majesty Ron, the problem in the Magic City has been resolved. We must return to report, so we will take our leave now."

"The Glorious Church said."

They also understood that it was a bit much to ask Ron to lift the sacrificial array, so they had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​bringing Ron back to the Church of Truth.

The three turned to leave.

Did I say you could leave?

Ron's voice rang out.

The three of them stopped.

"Your Majesty Ron, what do you mean by this?"

The bishop of the Radiant Church turned around, frowned, and looked at Ron, asking a question.

"I have some questions regarding this magic festival that I need your help with, so I would appreciate it if you could stay a few more days."

Ron said, squinting.

"If Your Majesty Ron has any questions, please ask them now. After we have answered them, we hope you will allow us to return and report back."

"This was stated by the bishop of the Holy See."

He realized this was just an excuse Ron had made up to keep them there, and he had no intention of going along with Ron's wishes.

"The problem is quite complex and will require some time to sort out."

Ron said with a smile.

"Then please allow us to go back and report first, and then come back to answer your questions."

"This was stated by the bishop of the Holy See."

"That won't do. What if you leave and don't come back?"

Ron shook his head.

"What if we insist on leaving?"

"Then I will have no choice but to force the three of you to stay."

Ron said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone thought Ron had gone mad.

Not only did they disregard the Bruveman Empire, but they also dared to provoke the three major papal courts.

The heinous nature of detaining bishops from the three major papal courts means that, no matter how high Ron's reputation is, the three major papal courts can justifiably launch successive attacks against Ron.

“Very good, Ron, I admit you are very courageous.”

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican laughed in exasperation.

They were just looking for a reason to attack Ron, and this kid actually delivered himself to their doorstep.

"Your Majesty Ron, then we..."

Seeing that the three major papal courts remained silent, the other forces spoke up and asked questions.

"No one is allowed to leave the Magic City."

Ron's gaze swept across the entire crowd.

The tone left no room for negotiation.

"Enjoy your stay in the magic capital until the magic festival ends."

He gave a deadline.

This sentence, transmitted through the mental network, was imprinted into everyone's minds in the form of a command.

Now, no thought of leaving the magic capital will arise in their minds, and if it does, it will be forcibly corrected.

"Ron, what exactly do you want?"

The Holy See asked in a questioning tone.

Ron leaving them behind, along with forces like the Bruwerman Empire with whom he had past conflicts, could be understood as revenge.

What would be the point of keeping those who had no conflict with him?
A strong sense of unease welled up within him; Ron before him seemed even more dangerous than Mavis.

"When the time comes, you will naturally understand."

Ron had a mysterious expression on his face.

"Okay, dismissed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ron's figure disappeared into the Demon God Altar.

Mavis disappeared along with him.

The bishop of the Glorious Vatican's eyelids twitched wildly.

These two... could they be getting together?
Ron left everyone behind, unable to think of any other possibility but to continue the ritual to resurrect the god of magic.

"It's over. He has finally fallen into darkness."

The three bishops all saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes.

If Ron were to lose his humanity, he would be a greater threat than the Demon King.

Should we persuade Ron to turn back before it's too late?
They have lost that qualification.

Because they forced all of this into this situation.

Ting'en Pharmacy.

The space rippled slightly as Ron appeared in Beta's alchemy room with Mavis.

Mavis glanced at the arm that Ron was holding, then looked around the unfamiliar room.

This appears to be an alchemy room, with many herbs and semi-finished medicinal liquids displayed in the room, along with connected containers.

I didn't see a three-legged crucible, but the method of refining medicine was quite peculiar.

She glanced around and her gaze fell on the sofa by the window in the room.

Although it's a bit small, it's the only place in the room where you can get things done.

She walked over and sat gracefully on the sofa.

"let's start."

"This 'Shifting Stars' skill is really good; it's comparable to a return scroll within a small area."

Ron was still marveling at the usefulness of the Time-Shifting System when he heard Mavis's words. He snapped out of his reverie and looked at Mavis, who was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed.

Mavis waited a long time but didn't get a response from Ron. She opened her eyes and saw Ron staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.

That look seemed to say, "I never expected you to look so innocent on the outside, but you're actually like this on the inside."

"let's start."

Mavis offered no explanation, but simply repeated herself.

"Start with what?"

Ron asked.

"To combine".

"Mavis said calmly."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you old elf? It doesn't matter if you die at hundreds of years old, but I'm only seventeen. Why should I waste decades of my life to mess with you?"

Ron reprimanded him without any politeness.

Older... elf...

Mavis raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

"How can you resurrect the God of Magic if you don't unite with him?"

"Don't you intend to resurrect the God of Magic?"

she asked.

"My intention is naturally to resurrect the God of Magic."

Ron said.

The reason he remained indifferent as Mavis completed all the preparatory rituals was so that he could take over her work.

Restoring her kingdom was merely a side effect, not her primary objective.

His main objective was to extract more high-level magic from the demon god's altar during this period through sacrificial rituals and evolutionary powers.

Try to equip all the core members of the Uncrowned Army with a seventh or eighth-tier spell.

At the same time, he can also improve his proficiency in the [Evolution] ability, and... perfect and absorb that fused ninth-order magic.

Finally, it's time to peek into the memories of the God of Magic.

He wanted to see what exactly happened in the era of the God of Magic, since it was a secret that hadn't even been revealed in the game.

In order to achieve these goals, he had no choice but to continue the work of resurrecting the god of magic.

If he doesn't continue, the God of Magic won't grant him so many authorizations.

"That……"

Mavis had just opened her mouth.

No container is needed.

Ron interrupted Mavis: "I have other ways to resurrect the God of Magic."

"No container needed?"

Mavis frowned: "How is that even possible?"

"You think it's impossible because, in your method, only the incomplete soul of the God of Magic would be resurrected, which is why a suitable vessel is needed to contain it."

"And I will resurrect the complete soul of the God of Magic. At that time, with His transcendent magic, He will be able to reshape His own body."

Ron said confidently.

"To resurrect the complete soul of the god of magic?"

Mavis stared blankly at Ron: "Is this reliable?"

"It's much more reliable than your method, isn't it?"

"Can your fragile new life form, born from union, withstand the soul of the god of magic?"

Ron raised a question.

"I can provide new life forms with life and spiritual energy, allowing them to grow rapidly."

Mavis said seriously.

"Alright, just stay here for now. I'll come find you again if I need anything."

Ron waved and walked out of the room.

Mavis stared blankly at the door Ron had closed for a moment.

Her hand unconsciously reached for her cheek.

"Do I look old...?"

She lowered her head and murmured.

In her mind, images of the future she had foreseen long ago appeared.

At the very end of that world, the person lying in her arms said something similar.

"Old elf, you're so old, why are you crying..."

"Hello."

The door opened, and a voice interrupted her thoughts.

Mavis looked up and saw a girl with two braids and wearing a white coat walk in.

"Dean Mavis, hello. I am Erica Francis, the owner of this pharmacy."

Beta introduced himself.

……

Because Ron had not set up a barrier to isolate the city from the outside world, the events that occurred in the magic capital quickly spread throughout the world.

The Kingdom of Lach has been restored.

Hmm, it's nothing.

Ron detained people from the Bruwerman Empire?
Well done!
Did Ron detain bishops from the three major papal courts?

Ok?
Is he crazy?

It should be noted that the Bruveman Empire was already powerful enough to dominate the world, and the strength of any one of the three major papal courts was greater than that of the Bruveman Empire.

Ron has provoked three people at once, how dare he?
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on the three major papal courts.

The three major Vatican councils did not respond immediately.

But anyone with eyes to see knows that a storm is about to break around the magic capital.

The magical city.

night.

Alpha, who was on a mission abroad, returned to the magic capital. Through her information integration, Ron learned about the individual talents of the Uncrowned Core Members.

After a day of rest, Ron returned to the Demon God's altar.

The sacrificial circle won't last long. By the end of the magic festival, around the end of January, the control effect of the sacrificial circle will be greatly weakened.

So he needs to hurry up and make some gains.

"With seven days left, we should be able to synthesize quite a few good things."

Ron placed his hand on the cone at the center of the Demon God's altar, and his mental power spread out like a spider web.

Under his control, the undiscovered magic within his sea of ​​consciousness was gradually extracted.

This process is extremely delicate, and the slightest mistake could cause the altar to backfire or lose control of its energy.

But for Ron, who possesses the power of [Evolution] and currently has extremely high authority, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Time passes slowly.

At dawn, there were already thirty wisps of magical essence in front of him, the lowest being the fifth rank.

The fusion can now proceed.

[Evolution] Power and authority are operating at full capacity.

The magical elements that might have originally been in conflict began to merge under the influence of power.

Because it was tailor-made for the uncrowned members, it was no longer as easy and natural as before.

Now, this is a process of creation.

Ron was highly focused, his mind racing as he calculated countless possibilities for energy combinations, guiding them towards a stable magical formula with specific effects.
