Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 550 Seeking Help

Hua Jun silently put away the three Star Sea Celestial Veins on the table, pushed the other two in front of Mo Fan, and said, "Consider this my reward for your mission!"

"The search for totems cannot stop; we will still need to rely on the power of totems in the future."

Mo Fan happily accepted the two Star Sea Celestial Veins and immediately patted his chest, assuring them, "Don't worry, I'll definitely search diligently!"

He casually gave one of the Star Sea Celestial Veins to Mu Ningxue for safekeeping. This thing wasn't that important to him; having one was enough.

"Hmm~ It's good that you know what you're doing." Hua Junshou nodded, somewhat relieved that he was trusting of Mo Fan, since he had been keeping an eye on him the whole way.

Mo Fan smiled but didn't say anything, glancing at Wang Teng with his eyes. There were some things he could only keep to himself.

Wang Teng's strength clearly seemed to be far beyond what was expected, so why not let the other party exert his strength? This was something he found quite puzzling.

He didn't believe that the top leaders couldn't see Wang Teng; the recent news about him had caused a sensation both domestically and internationally, and the public outcry was also very high.

However, he knew his own limitations and kept quiet about things that weren't his business; he couldn't afford to get involved in matters of that level.

"Time flies, Wang Teng. When you first became a councilor at the Forbidden City, it was just last year or the year before..."

"Time flies, now have you considered returning to your position?"

"You can choose either the position of head of the Palace Museum or my position as military commander, what do you say?"

Hua Junshou slowly chewed on the squid tentacles, speaking in a half-joking and tentative tone, his gaze remaining fixed on Wang Teng's face.

Unfortunately, all he saw was a calm and composed face, as still as a calm lake.

The people nearby were stunned by his words, some even doubting whether they had heard him.

The positions of Palace Attendant and Military Leader are open to both candidates.

Isn't this the kind of promotion you only hear about when shopping at a supermarket? Can such a top-level position really be bundled into a promotion?

Mu Zhuoyun stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape in shock. He had been in a terrible predicament back then, all because of a small city like Bocheng.

How could he have encountered such a shocking scene in the blink of an eye? If he hadn't known beforehand that this person was from the capital of the Chinese army, he would have suspected that someone was impersonating him.

Whether it was the president of the Palace Association or the military leader, they were both very distant positions for him, positions he could never reach even if he tried his hardest.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue also fell silent and turned their gazes to Wang Teng. Even Leng Qing and Leng Lingling, who were chatting nearby, held their breath and listened.

Especially Leng Qing, who knows Wang Teng the best, she doesn't think the commander of the Hua Army would suffer a loss if Wang Teng really agreed.

"Heh~ What? Are you too old to fight emperors anymore? Or are you confident leaving the troops to me, afraid I'll lead them astray?"

Wang Teng smiled and responded to the other party with a light laugh, showing little interest in the position Hua Junshou had mentioned.

He retained the title of "Councilor of the Former Palace" only to maintain appearances; having it or not was a different matter, and whether he used it or not depended on his mood.

Whether you admit it or not, in China, the higher the position, the higher the status, even for someone like him who holds an honorary position.

This kind of position is not very useful for ordinary people, but for people who are strong enough, it can be quite useful!

Unless you truly detach yourself from society, this position is truly meaningless.

Wang Teng is well aware that his influence will inevitably affect many people in a subtle way. Since he will not live the life of a hermit, he cannot avoid social interaction.

It would be better to leave yourself with a respectable title, which would make things easier to handle.

"I'm not afraid—I will always believe in the spirit of the army!"

Hua Junshou spoke softly of his unwavering belief: perhaps some people will not withstand the test and will fall halfway, but they will still be a very small minority.

"I can certainly defeat an emperor, but the consequences of such an attack are far-reaching."

"As you probably know, forbidden magic is almost like cancer in its damage to the environment; places covered by forbidden magic can take hundreds of years to recover."

Hua Junshou sighed, took another bite of a squid tentacle, and continued, savoring the cumin flavor, "That's why I need your help!"

"There are still a number of forbidden spell masters in China, and there are also people who can cast forbidden spells independently, but they can't control the range of the forbidden spells."

"In the past, we mainly fought against land-based demons. We had almost no emperor-level opponents, and we wouldn't actively provoke them."

"So basically, the forbidden spellcasters of the Forbidden Spells Association are only in a state of deterrence and have never actually fought in combat."

"This is no ordinary situation. The Ocean Gods have recovered and are planning to attack the land again."

"We can choose to retreat, and we are working on that right now, but there is a group of people who still want to give it their all."

"They want to protect their coastal base cities, want the restrictions on the release of forbidden magic to be relaxed domestically, and attempt a battle with the Ocean Gods."

"I personally don't think much of it, but I don't intend to stop them either, since what they're doing is also beneficial to the country."

"As a military leader, I hold a very high position, but I cannot treat the country as a place where I can make my own decisions. I can only do my best to handle the aftermath."

Hua Junshou looked helpless as he spoke, lamenting that his strength was not enough, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about the Ocean God Clan's attack.

He initially approved the demonization experiments simply to gain power to fight demons on equal terms, but numerous experiments have shown that these were all delusions.

Mo Fan's success delighted him, but it still didn't reach his ideal state; however, it gave him something to look forward to.

The only thing that surprised him was Wang Teng, who had grown at a speed that he couldn't comprehend, especially his emperor-level power.

He had naturally watched the video that went viral a while ago, and watched it many times, which filled him with surprise and speechlessness.

Surprisingly, such a remarkable figure emerged quietly in China; ironically, he had asked the other party to resign.

Although Min Wu was partly to blame, Wang Teng himself was also partly to blame; no one expected that Wang Teng would actually win the battle against the Holy City.

He knew then that not showing up was the biggest mistake of his life.

But now that everything is settled, we can only discuss and cooperate in another way.

Furthermore, his decision not to firmly stop that group was also intended to try to relax the restrictions, since the changes in the Hall of Heroes were indeed accelerating!

In the future, emperor-level combat power will definitely become the norm, and just because I don't use it doesn't mean I can continue to hide it.

Showing off your muscles appropriately can also make some fickle people back down.

"You want me to remove the effects of forbidden magic?"

Wang Teng looked at Hua Junshou in surprise. Did he know the characteristics of the Emperor's Power? That was possible!

As the head of the military of a country, he must know a lot. Just the North Plains battlefield alone would probably have detailed reports presented to his desk.

"Hmm... I think only special emperors like you could do something like this."

"I saw your battle with the Dragon King Ant Queen, and I suspect you likely have that kind of strength." Hua Junshou looked at Wang Teng with a serious expression.

This is his real core purpose in contacting the other party today. After discussing this matter, he had been looking for an opportunity to say it.

"I do have that ability; forbidden magic contamination is not a problem for me," Wang Teng replied with a relaxed nod.
