I add points to Indian martial arts.

Li Wei read through the remaining parchment diary in the bronze box again, but there was no more information about the bronze fragments. He put it down, walked to the bookshelf, picked up the book on Brahma Sun Martial Arts Necromancy, and began to study it using martial arts talismans.

Soon, after Li Wei used up his martial arts talisman, a scene appeared before him. He saw a figure dressed in black robes, resembling a priest, chanting incantations on a boundless battlefield filled with withered bones. Then, the withered bones on the battlefield began to stand up one by one, forming a skeleton army.

This is necromancy, the power to control undead skeletons.

Sakje, for example, didn't even have a basic grasp of the Undead Tree and could only barely condense skeletons using his swordsmanship.

When one truly masters necromancy, a single slash will create a realm resembling a skeleton world, pulling the enemy inside and allowing thousands of skeletons to devour them.

There are no weak martial arts techniques at the Brahma-level.

Generally speaking, an ordinary person might never be able to learn a Brahma martial art in their entire life, but now that Li Wei is using a martial arts talisman, a martial arts seed with a skull symbol floating in it instantly forms in his dantian.

Necromanticism mastered!

Afterward, Li Wei spent another ten seconds learning nine Brahma Moon-level martial arts using the remaining nine martial arts talismans, and nine more mastered martial arts seeds appeared in his dantian's martial arts sea.

"My cultivation speed is a bit slow, slower than I expected. It actually took thirteen seconds." Li Wei sighed with a Versailles-like feeling. It's so awesome to have a cheat code. Now, there are twelve fully developed martial arts seeds in his dantian, which is equivalent to the achievements of many people in a lifetime. But for Li Wei, this is just the beginning.

Li Wei finished his visit to Versailles, shook his head, and walked out of the secret room.

……

Meanwhile, in Pania's room.

Pania awoke from her deep sleep, her face pale and her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her soul. Even after waking up, she just stared silently at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Upon seeing her mistress Devi awake, the maid, Puvili, first exclaimed happily, "Devi, you're awake!" Then, with a mix of confusion and panic, she asked, "Devi, what should we do?"

The killing of Sakje and the fall of Tuli Town were devastating for a maid like her. She had heard that after conquering a town, people burned, killed, and looted, and that the families and maids of the town's owners would not have a good ending.

But she was confused. The adult who had conquered Tuli Town had just carried her own Devi into the room, and she was a little unsure of what was going on.

Pania didn't speak, her eyes still staring blankly at the ceiling.

A moment later, the maid spoke again in a low voice: "I just saw that gentleman carry Devi into the room."

Upon hearing this, Pania turned to glance at the maid, then continued to stare silently at the ceiling. Her features were truly dignified and noble, but her pale face and tightly pursed lips softened her features, making them less aggressive and giving her a unique air.

Seeing that Devi remained silent, the maid dared not utter a sound either, and thus, the room fell into a brief silence.

After a moment, Pania looked at the maid: "Do you think I can go back?"

The maid paused for a moment, not understanding.

Pania continued, "Would it be so nice to go back?"

After saying that, Pania sighed softly. Would it be better to go back? If she went back, given the family's current situation, her greatest value would probably be arranging a marriage for the Hamanthus family.

She might marry one of her brother's generals, or the lord of another town, or even form a marriage alliance with Amir's family, marrying his son.

Pania had previously thought that she would not go back. If Tuli Town were captured and Sakje died, she would follow her husband and commit suicide.

but now……

Pania gave a self-deprecating laugh. Should she commit suicide? Would suicide preserve the chastity and reputation of the Darban family?

So what is she going to do now? The situation back home isn't good, and her planned suicide is impossible now...

After a long silence, Pania let out a soft sigh, her eyes fixed on the maid: "You mean that gentleman carried me back just now?"

The maid nodded: "She also instructed me to take good care of Devi."

"I see." Pania nodded expressionlessly, lost in thought.

……

Time flew by, and three days passed quickly. During these three days, Li Wei was very busy. He was busy finding people to mine black stone mines, building black stone catapults, sorting out the relationships among Sakje's former subordinates, figuring out who could be promoted and who could be reused, rebuilding the Vanma cavalry, and having people collect information about Muwei City.

Li Wei was extremely busy for the past three days. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that Sakje's general, Moturi, personally led his troops to surrender. This gave Li Wei a slight sense of relief, and the military strength of Tuli Town was preserved to the greatest extent possible in his hands.

Of course, Suleisa and Laka also arrived during these three days.

"These people are such snobs, they've forgotten who their masters are. Devi used to treat them so well!"

For the past three days, Panya's room has been unusually quiet and cold. The maid, Puvili, was complaining in the room, but Panya didn't say anything. She sat on the bed, wearing a very aristocratic-style kishaye dress. The pleats at the waist of the dress were very gorgeous and had gold thread. Panya wore this dress and had the dignified temperament of a noblewoman.

The aristocratic etiquette she learned from childhood made Pania elegant even when simply sitting there, her upper body upright and her hands lightly placed on her skirt. When she heard the maids next to her occasionally complaining, she would sometimes just smile gently.

As a noblewoman, she naturally understood the meaning of being forgotten once someone leaves.

The woman who now owns this house is no longer her; it is a woman named Suleisa.

Naturally, the servants in the house would surround her, and Pania didn't think anything of it.

"Puvilie, could you get me a glass of water?" Pania said with a smile. Her smile was the kind that looked very gentle, but because her features were dignified and noble, it gave people a sense of distance. It was like a noblewoman elegantly cutting a rose with a smile in a restaurant. This kind of smile always made people feel distant.

The maid responded and went to pour water. Pania's hand, which was quietly resting on her skirt, moved slightly. Actually, she didn't want to hear Pania defend her anymore, so she sent her away to pour water.

Actually, Pania felt quite good about the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the house these past three days. There were no more dancers enjoying themselves in the mansion, and she no longer had to bother admonishing Sakje every day, which always ended in arguments.

Over the past three days, she has been silently observing this mansion, and she thinks it is indeed different from the place she used to live.

She saw that soldiers came and went from the mansion every day to discuss official business with Li Wei. In the past, there were always sounds of Sakje laughing and dancing girls playing in the mansion, but now there were none. She heard that Li Wei neither dismissed the dancers nor did it make a difference; he just left them there quietly.

She also heard from the maid that the master would take time to hone his martial arts skills every afternoon after finishing his official duties in the morning. The maid also said that the master had recently been collecting information about Muwei City.

Is this a prelude to taking action against Muwei City?

That makes sense. Someone who has reached the mid-stage of Vanpi at such a young age would naturally be ambitious.

The middle stage of the Vanpi tradition—this was the level that I had previously hoped Sakje would reach.

Thinking of this, Pania sighed softly. Wasn't this exactly the kind of Sakje she had imagined?

Why isn't Sakjee like that?

If Sakje honed his martial arts skills and handled official business daily, without indulging in pleasure, and reached the mid-stage of the Vatican at a young age, ambitious enough to build an even greater empire, then Pania would surely feel that this was the husband she had always dreamed of.

Unfortunately, Sakje is not Livy.

Li Wei's wife was not himself, but a woman named Suleisa.

Thinking of this, Pania looked down at her hands, which were lightly placed on her skirt.

Sunlight streamed in slantingly through the window and fell onto her hands.

His hands were resting on his knees, folded over each other, and he remained motionless.

The skin on the back of her hand was so white it was almost transparent, and you could see the fine blue veins underneath, like the thinnest ivory being pierced by sunlight.

"These are the hands a legitimate daughter of the Hamanthus family should have," she thought.
