Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 388 Meeting the Wizard Emperor

Led by the wizard soldiers, Sunan and Hans Berger both entered the Assyrian emperor's palace.

Every part of that palace was crafted from gold, obsidian, and the extremely precious magical mineral, the Griffin Guardian Jade, along with the Lionheart Sapphire.

It was exceptionally luxurious.

Gold is considered a cheap commodity here.

Su Nan had only ever seen the Lionheart Sapphire and the Griffin Guardian Jade in the library of the Golden Wizard. It was said that the Griffin Guardian Jade was a mineral that was naturally associated with griffins and possessed the property of defending against magic.

The Lionheart Sapphire, on the other hand, is a mineral found deep underground, even deeper than the Rye Underground. Clearly, it was the Wizard Emperor Caspian Quinn who personally ventured underground to find this gem.

This gemstone is magnificent in appearance, more beautiful than any other gemstone in the world. It also naturally contains the blue flame energy of the lion's heart, which can be used to attack enemies.

As Su Nan walked through the hall, he even considered breaking off a few gems to take with him.

Unlike Su Nan, Hans Berg could only kneel inside the hall, but at a distance of 200 meters from the emperor's throne.

Below the emperor's throne, there are two rows of thirty soldier statues, each holding a spear, guarding the emperor.

The emperor seemed to trust the golem more than the wizard.

As Su Nan walked past these thirty golems, he sensed that each of these soldier statue golems possessed immense power, even far exceeding that of Hans Berg.

Su Nan looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in a magnificent breastplate, sitting on the throne, looking at him with his sunken eyes.

This is clearly the Wizard Emperor, Caspian Quinn.

Caspian Quinn had a very complex personality; he had both a righteous and upright side, as well as a melancholic temperament that came from being in a high position for a long time.

Caspian Quinn looked at Sunan and said, "I sense that a chosen one of the Lord of the Law has come to my city."

"Then, I sensed the aura of law emanating from you. Clearly, you did the same thing as me. Young chosen one, young second-circle wizard."

Welcome to my city.

"I have always believed that we wizards should establish our own country so that we can better guide humanity toward civilization."

"You... are very good."

Although Su Nan had some differing opinions about the Wizard Emperor, there was no need to say anything more at this moment. Instead, he nodded to Caspian Quinn and said, "That's true."

Caspian Quinn suddenly looked up at Hans Berg, who was kneeling two hundred meters away. "Hans Berg, do you plead guilty?"

Hans Berg sighed, keeping his kneeling position while lowering his head even further. "I plead guilty, Your Majesty."

"I did something unnecessary."

The emperor coldly replied, "Then accept your punishment. The laws of the Assyrian Empire are strict; since you have committed a crime, commit suicide."

Su Nan was somewhat taken aback. He looked up at Emperor Caspian Quinn, but Caspian Quinn was serious.

The emperor of the Assyrian Empire actually made a senior second-circle wizard commit suicide because of a small mistake.

Hans Berg's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected the emperor to be so ruthless.

"Your Majesty, I... I am not worth dying for, but I want to make some contribution to you and the Empire at this time of demonic spiritual invasion."

"I...please give me a chance."

The emperor remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned that a seasoned second-circle wizard could have any impact on the course of the battle.

"The rules are paramount."

"You shouldn't challenge the rules."

For a moment, the palace fell silent, with only the sound of the emperor tapping his fingers on the edge of his chair.

Hans Berg struggled to his feet. He knew that if he delayed any longer, the emperor would kill not only him, but also his entire family.

So this is the limit of his procrastination.

Hans, his face ashen, said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

"This is my spellbook of the Four Beasts' Blessing, which I wish to offer to you so that a powerful spell of the Assyrian Empire will not be lost. I hope it can continue to contribute to the war effort."

The emperor waved his hand, summoning the magic book he had taken out of his pocket into his own hand.

"Can."

"Hans Berg, after you die, I will arrange magical resources for your son so that he can break through to become a second-circle wizard as soon as possible."

"Go ahead without worry."

Hans Berg bowed to the emperor one last time, then left the palace in a humiliating state, heading elsewhere, presumably to commit suicide.

After Hans Berg left, Caspian Quinn, the emperor of the Assyrian Empire, flipped through the magic book in his hand and let out a contemptuous laugh.

"With a little effort, I could design a better defensive magic than this."

"The Berg family is getting dumber and dumber."

Do you think I'm particularly cruel?

Unable to fathom the emperor's thoughts, Su Nan replied, "No."

Caspian Quinn sat on the throne and laughed, "No, you do. But it doesn't matter. Since you and I are both chosen by the God of Law, we can talk as equals."

"And you are so young, you are destined to become a third-ring wizard."

Caspian Quinn tossed the spellbook to Sunan.

Su Nan was somewhat taken aback.

"His Majesty?"

"Shouldn't you have handed the magic book over to the Berg family?"

Caspian Quinn said, "It's not worth it. I've just finished reading this magic book, and I can design something similar on the fly and give it to the Berg family."

"The Berg family sympathizes with mortals and secretly joins a church group with a demonic spiritual lineage. I don't believe he was unaware of this. His surreptitious disobedience to my orders also reveals his character."

"That's why I made him commit suicide."

Caspian Quinn said, "I haven't exposed everything, already out of consideration for his past contributions to the Assyrian Empire."

"Since he has offended you, then I'll give you all the magic he has studied throughout his life as compensation."

Su Nan didn't refuse, after all, he was indeed somewhat interested in this Four Beasts Magic.

Caspian Quinn reached out, and four streams of spiritual energy instantly entered Su Nan's body. "This is the spiritual energy of my country, and the spiritual energy of three other powerful countries that I have conquered. With these four streams of spiritual energy I give you, you can complete the Four Beasts Blessing Magic."

The emperor said, "Just now, I wasn't waiting for that fool to make his own decision, but rather I was observing you."

Su Nan felt immense pressure talking to the emperor; it seemed that his every move was being observed by him.

The emperor said, "I waited for a while, but I didn't see you plead for him."

Su Nan laughed and said, "I don't really like meddling in other people's business."

"My name is Sunan Peter. By the way, Your Majesty, can the spiritual power you gave me be used at any time? I mean, even during a period of time when your country does not exist."
