Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 117 The Gains of This Trip: Stepping into Venice

The Eji army and the Longxia government troops hurried along, running non-stop for a full thirty kilometers.

We finally returned to the city of Pushiny.

The mirage pyramid that once seemed real yet ethereal has vanished.

On the surface, the war appeared to have ended in victory.

However, what should have been a moment of cheers and celebrations was instead shrouded in a deathly silence.

The faces of the crowd showed no trace of joy at victory; instead, they were solemn and worried.

Staff Officer Fenner knew the situation was serious and didn't even dare to give himself a moment to catch his breath. As soon as he returned to the city, he went straight to his superiors to report urgently.

When the news of "the appearance of Sha Yuan" was reported up the chain of command, the top management of Longxia was immediately alarmed, and the entire decision-making hall was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.

The top leaders held an emergency meeting to weigh the pros and cons.

Almost simultaneously, the Ejri leadership also received the news and were equally shocked.

Faced with this critical crisis concerning the survival of both regions, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and formed an alliance in a short period of time.

Li Xuan was unaware of this.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

Anyway, Sha Yuan is under his control and won't endanger his own people. As for Eji's people, we'll see how things go.

Within the Abyss of Calamity, the eight dead kings and countless undead subjects were excitedly devouring and absorbing the several pyramids that had entered it.

They wouldn't miss this rare feast, after all, it had been a long time since their last meal.

Of course, the former wouldn't go so far as to steal food from their subjects; they were absorbing the energy of the dead to repair their damaged bodies.

"How did the battle go?"

Unbeknownst to anyone, Li Xuan was sitting on the Blood Throne in the Tomb Palace, slowly looking down at the Nine Nether Queen kneeling below.

"Reporting to the Lord, we have successfully devoured three pyramids and killed four of the fallen Eji kings," said the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Not bad." Li Xuan nodded.

"Get ready, the real war of emperors will begin soon."

"Yes!" Queen Jiuyou replied respectfully.

Subsequently, Li Xuan used the Divine Eye of Time and Space to open a spatial rift and leave.

The trips to Hasara and Ej were incredibly fruitful!

Leaving aside the other minor items, the imperial-level spirit and the Egyptian pyramids alone are priceless treasures!

Not to mention the resources that allow one to reach the Light-type Super-Tier and countless smaller resources.

……

After a long journey, the Longxia National Team finally arrived in Venice.

Venice, an international city built on water, possesses a spirituality that no other city can match.

Medieval-style clock towers, churches, and painted buildings can be seen everywhere.

It feels as if you've traveled through time and space, instantly finding yourself in European history.

It's worth noting that there are no cars in Venice.

Because it is a city on water, the means of transportation here is a crescent-shaped water creature called a "gondola"!

Gondolas are a specialty of Venice, capable of carrying five or six people at a time, much like taxis.

Upon entering this water city, the Nationalist team members tacitly decided to disband.

Li Xuan used the Palace Museum's channels to arrange several resources for Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao.

……

On the bustling streets of the water city, Zhao Manyan led the way while asking Li Xuan beside him with a curious expression, "Boss, what kind of treasures are you planning to sell this time?"

"The corpses and essences of several monarch-level demons," Li Xuan said calmly.

"Holy crap, that's a big spender!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, then, remembering something, asked, "Was it done in the Hasara Desert?"

"Mm." Li Xuan nodded.

"Awesome, no wonder you're the boss!" Mo Fan was also greatly shocked.

"Come on, once we sell out, I'll treat you to drinks!" Zhao Manyan patted his chest.

He led the way toward the Hall of St. Mark's Auction.

This St. Mark's Auction Hall is no ordinary place; the Zhao family holds a significant stake within it.

When it comes to the Zhao family, most people think that it is just a family that is good at business, with mediocre magical abilities.

But in reality, this view is completely wrong.

As one of the top families, or even clans, in the country, the Zhao family's magical strength is slightly inferior.

But that's only compared to the Mu family. Compared to other families, they are far stronger.

The major families in Shanghai are pretty powerful, right? The strongest of them have more than a dozen super-tier members.

But he was still not enough to become a clan, while the Zhao family could.

It should be noted that the Zhao family's reputation in the world is comparable to that of the Mu family. Being recognized as a clan, their strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

Although the members of their own clan are not particularly gifted in magic, the Zhao family may have some super-elders, or even those at the transgression level.

This is also the reason why the Zhao family was able to become a clan!

The three arrived at the entrance of the St. Mark's World Auction House, where they saw a handsome man dressed in beach shorts and flip-flops standing there with an upright posture.

"Big brother, did you come here especially to welcome me?" Zhao Manyan's face instantly lit up with a smile when he saw this person, and he said with a playful grin.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Youqian turned around and saw Zhao Manyan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "What are you doing here, kid?"

Before Zhao Manyan could answer, Zhao Youqian's gaze fell on Li Xuan.

My eyes lit up instantly.

"I never expected to have the honor of meeting Captain Li Xuan today. I have long admired your name and your deeds are truly legendary!" Zhao Youqian said, extending his hand to him warmly.

"You're not bad either, taking charge of the Zhao family at such a young age." Li Xuan generously extended his hand and responded politely.

Zhao Youqian was pleasantly surprised. He had thought that meeting that person would be an unexpected joy, but he never expected to run into Li Xuan as well.

Today is truly a day of double happiness.

As the current heir of the Zhao family, he naturally knew Li Xuan, the number one young talent, and the position of chief of the court would eventually belong to Li Xuan.

If it can be exchanged in advance, that would be the best option.

That's the Forbidden City, the real prestige of Longxia!

Unexpectedly, his brother, who only knows how to pick up girls, managed to befriend someone like this.

"Brother, there's also Mo Fan, he's really amazing too!" Zhao Manyan said irritably.

"Sorry, sorry, I was daydreaming." Zhao Youqian snapped out of his reverie and looked at the roguish Mo Fan beside him.

The grassroots players on the National Team, while not as prominent as top stars like Li Xuan, are still very strong young talents for the next decade or so.

I am qualified to let him know me.

"It's nothing." Mo Fan didn't care at all.

"What are you doing here with these two?" Zhao Youqian asked his younger brother with a bright smile.

"The captain has a big deal he wants to do with you. Are you free?" Zhao Manyan asked directly.

"Um, Captain Li Xuan, could you wait in the VIP room for a moment? I have a client here with an appointment," Zhao Youqian said apologetically.

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded.

"Brother Lao, take these two to VIP Room Number One, and have them prepare Room Number Two as well."

"OK."
