Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 418 Alliance Anomaly

After dealing with the Xuan Snake's lair, Wang Teng got up and headed towards the island nation's Shuangshou Pavilion. However, he did not reveal himself but instead hid in the void to observe.

The entire Shuangshou Pavilion remained the same, but the atmosphere was somewhat tense, with pedestrians on the mountaintop hurrying about.

Several obscure presences lingered near the foot of the mountain, all monitoring the movements of the Shuangshou Pavilion personnel.

He quickly located Mochizuki Chika through his senses. She was currently cultivating diligently, and her aura had already reached that of a super-level mage.

"Looks like we haven't been exposed yet."

After pondering for a while, Wang Teng turned around and left. As long as Mochizuki Chika was alright, he couldn't care less about anything else.

In the blink of an eye, they crossed the vast ocean and returned to Hangzhou, their figures flashing as they returned to the Moon Rain Villa Manor.

Standing outside the gate, Wang Teng sensed some changes in the manor; it seemed that security barriers had been installed all around.

"Has someone infiltrated the manor?"

He was stunned for a moment. He had only been away for four months, but when he came back, it felt like the world had changed drastically.

If he hadn't sensed that all four women were inside the villa, he would have thought something had happened.

ding dong~

Wang Teng rang the doorbell and waited outside. Soon he saw a figure walk out, which turned out to be Tang Yue. Then a shadow flashed by.

"You're back just in time~ Sister Leng wants to talk to you about something..." Tang Yue suddenly emerged from Wang Teng's shadow.

"Why is the manor under security restrictions? Was it burgled?" Wang Teng asked, puzzled.

"No, it's just that we were attacked by sirens. A lot of slave-level sirens came in along the river."

"Our estate happens to have a reservoir that's neither too big nor too small, so to prevent it from being wasted, we put up a safety barrier."

"The highest level is only the Defense General level. Higher-level sirens will be locked in advance by the monitoring system and dealt with by the city's sirens hunting team first."

"There's also a facial recognition system here; you can just scan it to get in!"

Tang Yue pushed Wang Teng to a small scanner and had him scan his face.

"Beep~ Welcome back!"

The machine recognized the sound quickly, and then the door opened automatically.

"Is the situation with the Sirens really that dire?" Wang Teng asked leisurely as he walked ahead. How could things have deteriorated to this state in such a short time?

"Yeah, in the months you were gone, the sea monsters in the ocean were really causing trouble. The base city's Anjie District has deployed several times the usual number of troops."

"Sister Leng received eight invitations from Chief Pang Lai to attend meetings in the capital and listen to the contents of the council meeting," Tang Yue remarked with a slight grumble.

As Wang Teng listened to Tang Yue's narration, he habitually reached out and put his arm around her voluptuous waist, making small, constant movements.

The two quickly returned to the villa. It was late August, the height of summer, but the villa was quite cool inside.

Three women sat around in the hall, eating watermelon, chatting, and watching entertainment programs on TV.

"The busy man is finally back?" Leng Qing turned her head to look at the door and saw Wang Teng return.

The other two also turned around with joy. It had been a while since Wang Teng left, and it was impossible for them not to miss him at all.

"You look so different! What skincare products are you using? Your skin is even smoother and more refined than mine!"

After seeing Wang Teng sit down, Jiang Shaoxu excitedly moved over and sat down next to him, leaning in to examine his face closely.

Sitting on the other side, Tang Yue came to her senses and stared intently at Wang Teng's face. The unusually refined look made her think that Wang Teng's skin was even better than a woman's.

"Could it be..." Tang Yue immediately realized something and shut her mouth.

Wang Teng, smelling the intoxicating scent of roses, moved slightly as a sign of respect; Jiang Shaoxu's scent was the most unique.

Even after being touched by him so many times, it still retains this scent, making it practically a walking rose.

"That's a complicated matter..."

Wang Teng pulled her into his arms and let her take a good look at him.

Inside the hall, Little Flame Princess was flying around. Upon seeing Wang Teng, she quickly flew to his shoulder and sat down, holding a small watermelon in her hand, eating it with great relish.

"This is not an effect that any skincare product can achieve. You'll find out later; it's not the right time to tell you now."

Wang Teng shook his head and said, "We are at a critical juncture. If this is revealed, the unusual behavior of the women might attract the attention and speculation of those with ulterior motives, which would be bad."

There are no truly foolish people in this world; there are plenty of intelligent people. He's currently fishing, striving to become an emperor.

Summoning magic is very important to him. If anyone suspects that he might be the one setting up the scheme, it could lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The women were quick-witted and immediately understood what Wang Teng meant.

"By the way, the CEO recently invited me to a meeting, and there's a lot of news I need to tell you." Leng Qing took the opportunity to change the subject.

Tell me...

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he gestured to Jiang Shaoxu with his eyes to get some watermelon to eat.

She immediately understood, turned slightly, picked up a skewer, stuck a piece of watermelon into Wang Teng's mouth.

Leng Qing ignored the two men's actions and continued, "The main points are as follows: firstly, the defense of the country's long coastline."

"Starting from the Dalian Naval Battle City and heading south, all major cities and large base cities along the way need to strengthen their defenses."

"This is mainly due to military adjustments, so the palace will continue to monitor the situation and provide necessary combat support."

"Secondly, since the end of the Northern Plains battlefield, President Han Ji of the Ancient Capital submitted a report to the Former Palace Court stating that they could no longer detect the Abyss of Evil; the Abyss of Evil has vanished!"

"Not only that, the number of wandering undead in the entire ancient capital's sacred land of the dead has decreased sharply, and recently they have even disappeared completely."

"Third, some prominent families in China have exhibited strange behavior. This is not just a domestic phenomenon; through unique channels, I have learned that this is a common occurrence across international aristocratic alliances."

"They seem to be intentionally cultivating summoning-type super-level mages. Existing super-level mages are highly sought after internationally, and many powerful families are offering generous resources to win them over."

Leng Qing paused for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then continued, "According to what I've secretly learned, the reason those powerful families are doing this is that they've discovered a new super-level summoning plane called the Hall of Heroes."

"The Pharaoh who vanished from the Northern Plains battlefield is now within the Hall of Heroes, a forbidden heroic spirit that can be summoned!"

"There is also a series of rules, especially for super-level mages who have mastered all four elements, who have the opportunity to become heroic spirit mages and obtain an alternative form of immortality."

"Because of this rule, all resources available internationally for breaking through to the super-tier level have been rapidly and frantically snapped up and monopolized by the aristocratic alliances, causing prices to skyrocket!"

"The Star Sea Celestial Vein is now extremely rare and hard to find!"

"The sudden appearance of that ancient demonic hall of heroes summoning plane has completely changed the current magical landscape."

"Mastering all four elements to the highest level will become a highly sought-after goal, and the same goes for high-level summoners!"

"This is just the beginning; nobody knows how it will develop in the future."

Leng Qing sighed softly, then remembered something else, "Oh right, there's also the latest news: Speaker of the Asian Parliament, Su Lu, forcibly formed a contract with the Black Dragon Emperor and returned to the Dubai Mage Tower, where he began to provoke the Holy City."

Jiang Shaoxu sat on Wang Teng's lap and was shocked when Leng Qing finished speaking. Suddenly, she thought of her own family's situation.

"Oh, right, and our share of the company generates about 100 billion in net profit every year, based on my detailed estimate."
