Four-Armed Divine Emperor

When it comes to exploring and treasure hunting, it is obviously taboo to let others know what you are doing. At most, you can only publicize it after everything is settled and the treasure is either gone or in your pocket.

But coincidentally, the "clue" that Kevin concealed was completed by the elves in Garden City after being reported to his elf enthusiasts.

Part of the information came from the elves who were once abducted. They were brought to the Grey King's kingdom and driven as slaves. After going through many hardships, some of them died in a foreign land, some returned to their tribes, and some stayed in this land of fire worshippers and finally migrated to Thurso, now the land of Rome.

Regarding the confirmation of the news of "The Secret of the Gray King", as elves who highly value the interests of their tribe, they do not have a strict hierarchy like humans. If it were any other sky city, a clue reported by a second-ring wizard, even if it was about the Witch King, would not be directly delivered to the hands of a ninth-ring wizard, the white-robed sage.

But elves are different.

It was difficult for the people in the White Tower to ask Shilin Yege, a living legend, to help investigate the situation of the new Roman state, but the information provided by her compatriots about the secrets of the King of Ashes was enough to make Shilin make such a trip.

This is a secret about the enemies of the elves, so it is naturally worth the Archmage's attention. And by the way, she can take a look at the new empire that replaced the previous slave empire. It just happens to be on her way, so she can take over part of it without having to spend too much thought on it. Why not?

Besides, Celine was going to Sylvan, one of the five northern provinces, close to the Serso Mountains. Celine knew that there was an elven clan living abroad in this demon-poor land. However, the elves attached great importance to the common interests of the tribe and trusted each other among compatriots, but they were also arrogant and stubborn in some aspects.

Garden City was willing to accept any elves who wished to return to the Great Sect. However, the Thurso elves had operated within the Grand Canyon for millennia. Though they hadn't established a powerful presence, they still considered this place, which had sheltered them for millennia, their only home and refused to leave, even at the risk of peril. Thus, the Garden City envoys had no choice but to depart, taking with them only a few elves who had turned their hearts to the outside world.

This time, Celine came to, first, uncover the secrets of the Gray King, second, complete the White Tower's request, and third, to see if the situation allows, to contact the elven branch in the land of Thurso, and use her reputation as a hero of her race and a legendary wizard to see if she can persuade this branch to return to the race.

After all, if the new empire has no connection with the remnants of the old one, then a new empire will always have a period of growth after its rise, and will be keen on external expansion and internal reform, so the Valley Elves may be at risk;

And if the new empire has a deep connection with the remnants of the old times, then the east of Tartarus will inevitably become the battlefield of a new round of war between the White Tower Order and the remnants of the old times, and the canyon elves are more likely to be at risk.

It is neither reasonable nor moral for Celine to sit idly by and must take advantage of the situation.

However, now it seems that the worst and most terrible situation has occurred...

Chapter 68: But it’s okay

These "construction teams" below are obviously the latest to rise, except for the Zoroastrian empire called "Rome".

Apart from the British, it is impossible for any other force to carry out such a huge project with no apparent purpose on the land of an empire without being noticed by outsiders.

They seemed to be building a city. Celine was hesitant to jump to conclusions. The shape looked a bit like the tombs of the kings of the former Golden Dynasty in the southwest. None of this was important. What was important was that Celine sensed a huge threat from this giant fortification that was being continuously improved.

Her vast knowledge allowed her to speculate:

This probably is

Chapter 396

A "magic fortress," or something similar.

This speculation is reasonable, because Celine personally participated in the construction of the Sky City, which was also a towering building rising from the ground. Except that later, in order to save time, they worked together to create a new technique that could directly "cut" a piece of land and then lift it into the air to become a simple sky foundation. The early sky cities, including the Garden City, all had their foundations laid on the ground in advance, and then their mages used magic together to make it rise.

The reason why the simplified version of magic was invented later, which directly cuts through the land and takes off, is because construction on the ground is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and too much energy must be invested in ensuring structural and architectural issues, otherwise a lot of trouble may arise after taking off.

The structure on the ground that looked like a giant city made Celine subconsciously think of this aspect.

Taking all factors into consideration, it is obvious that if I say that the Romans secretly built such a thing simply as a wonder or a mausoleum, no one would believe it.

And just from the fact that it can bring "threat" to Celine, we can know that there must be a power at least at the same level as hers hidden in it!

Those rumors are true!

There is really something wrong with this newly emerged "Rome"!

And they are the most terrifying kind... In collusion with the remnants of the old times, they are deliberately promoting the change of dynasty among the Zoroastrians, secretly controlling this new country as their base in Neir. Now, they are secretly carrying out a grand construction plan in Sylvan, a remote northern province secretly related to the Lord of Ashes.

Open the giant portal that leads from the Land of Exile to the stable channel of the Il world?

Is it also a war fortress with military functions?

Or perhaps it has some huge but as yet unknown function, such as opening up a channel to the elemental plane, pouring violent elements into Neyr, and using the threat of destroying, or at least severely damaging, Neyr civilization as a bargaining chip in exchange for negotiating with the White Tower Order and the qualification to return home?

In an instant, all kinds of possibilities flashed through Celine's mind.

Celine would not suspect that another Nine-Ring Archmage of Neyil was behind this, because it made no sense. She had never heard of any mage who could independently build and maintain a "Mage Tower" of this scale, nor had she heard of any special ritual wonders that required construction on such a scale.

Moreover, the White Tower Order restricts the mortal world from mastering extraordinary powers. Similarly, it also restricts extraordinary people from acting recklessly in the mortal world as they did before the War of the Old Ones.

Even if this country's provocation reaches a certain level, a top spellcaster cannot destroy this country and massacre its royal family and nobles based on his own preferences.

The White Tower will defend the authority of the extraordinary, but will never support even a white-robed sage who subverts and destroys the mortal world at his own will without a suitable reason to silence the world.

Experimental leaks and spell errors are "force majeure" and a little compensation will be enough, but there is no benefit in completely tearing apart the illusion of coexistence between the extraordinary and the mortal world.

As an absolute veteran, Celine almost grasps, or at least understands, information about all the "top" strongmen still active in Neil. She knows most of the veterans of the same level as her, the rising stars who did not blindly follow the "footsteps of the predecessors" to explore the astral world, and their recent situation. However, no one would go to Sylvan, a place that seemed to be meaningful only to mortals but happened to involve the secrets of an ancient sorcerer king, to carry out some construction project.

Before Bai Ta asked her to investigate this place, they must have already learned about it through various channels. If there was a Nine-Ring Mage causing trouble, or if they just happened to run into each other, they would definitely tell Celine in advance.

And now, she, alone with her two "apprentices" of the same race, unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the shocking conspiracy hidden in Sylvan, a place that did not attract special attention from outsiders.

You know, if magic is used to detect, even the most outstanding prophecy wizard will trigger El's psychic warning, making him feel something, and use psychic power, which is completely different from magic and has a higher level of ability to cover it up.

If they were mortal spies, they would be directly deceived by the hidden talent of cognitive tampering that Ai'er pointed out for the tribe, and would just think that the place was covered with yellow sand, or that their brains would forge a "reasonable" scene for themselves. Of course, it is more likely that they would be discovered and captured by the ubiquitous psychic surveillance.

Celine just avoids both of the above.

She brought her apprentices and used a variant of the water element to create cloud magic, allowing them to partially break free from the constraints of their bodies and gravity. Their bodies became semi-elemental, and with the help of the water element, they floated in the sky.

This was to allow her two disciples to comprehend the realm of the Seventh Ring in advance. Once they reached this level, the sign of officially entering the "Transcendent" realm would be that their bodies would become magical, able to continuously absorb and carry magical power, with almost no weaknesses of "lack of magic power - lack of mana", and they would also be able to live forever.

The cloud-transformed water element can be completely regarded as a "thinking cloud". They themselves are semi-elemental and wrapped in cloud elements. They are completely "traces left by nature", which prevents them from triggering countermeasures against prophecy and detection magic. The extraordinary insight and thinking of the Nine-ring Archmage and the Arcane Sage prevent her cognition from being disturbed by broad and scattered cognition. She can directly see with her "naked eyes"

Chapter 397

"I noticed the movement below and realized something was wrong.

It's Al who's to blame.

If he was not doing construction in Sylvan but was placed in Thurso, then Shilin would most likely go directly to find Amen-Ra and bump into him, which would be like delivering himself to her doorstep.

But the problem was that he didn't know when the White Tower would take the initiative to intervene and when to build the Great Fortress of Heart. If the other party launched a full-scale attack before his fortress was built, he might be able to keep Serso, but the Alan Empire that he had just conquered would probably change hands.

The Heart Fortress is an alternative nest and a branch base, so El subconsciously placed it on the "front line" where it was needed to play a role, in a strategic position, which is why it encountered the risk of exposure this time.

But...it's okay.

Chapter 69: Locked

While Celine was discussing what was happening on the ground with her two disciples, Al had already arrived at the construction site of the unfinished Heart Fortress, which can also be called the "Psychic Pyramid".

His sudden appearance did not attract anyone's attention. The peeper in the sky was able to see through the barrier with her extraordinary insight, so it was not surprising that she saw this grand construction site. The area of ​​the Psychic Pyramid was almost the size of the Iskhanfa Palace City, and anyone who was not blind could see it.

At its peak, the number of construction workers involved in the construction even approached one million, which is equivalent to all the able-bodied men in some small countries participating in the construction of a single project.

The appearance of Al can only be described as a grain of sand appearing in the sand. Not to mention one Celine, even if there were a hundred Celines hanging in the sky and staring at the ground, they would not notice when he appeared.

Al used his psychic powers to shield himself, so the workers and descendants would not pay special attention to his presence. This allowed him to effectively distinguish between normal gazes and malicious prying.

He stood on a pile of bricks, and his spiritual energy probed in all directions, trying to find where the feeling of being watched came from. Finally, he quickly locked his target on the sky, between the thick clouds.

"Heaven?"

El immediately thought of the wizards' sky city.

But if it was a sky city that flew over Sylvain, there was no way he wouldn't notice it.

But no matter what, finding the stalker is the first key. His psychic radiation range has covered the entire construction site and its surroundings, and the area within hundreds of miles is within his perception.

The wind blowing, the grass moving, the insects, snakes and beasts hiding under the sand dunes, all the movements of living and non-living things were under his surveillance.

High in the sky, the great wizard Celine suddenly had a strange feeling. Her intuition told her not to make any rash moves at this time. Her disguise had not been exposed yet. Next, she would just float away slowly like an ordinary cloud, leaving this place that made her feel greatly threatened. Then, she would immediately return to the Sky City, disclose the situation she had discovered to the White Tower Order, and summon the wizards.

As for the Thurso elves, with the war going on, we can’t take care of them for the time being.

After looking around, Al became suspicious of the clouds, but he was unable to lock onto the enemy's position and number for the time being. In order to defeat the enemy in one blow, he thought of a way.

【Everyone, give up your work immediately and close your eyes! 】

[Closed Perception!] The second point was what he specifically conveyed to his descendants and high-level gene servants.

He used his psychic powers to broadcast to the surroundings with himself as the center.

The power of psychic energy can achieve 1+1>2. Different offspring can easily work together, and the efficiency of integration is far stronger than any multi-person spell. The pyramid itself is now a large psychic stand.

At the construction site of the entire psychic pyramid, there is no need to use language to communicate. The descendants, as supervisors and builders, can communicate efficiently through psychic communication. At this moment, there are a total of 31,423 descendants of Ai'er, second-generation and third-generation descendants here. As for the mortal laborers, they are all devout in their faith and have been highly transformed. They belong to the "servant" level of believers. They belong to the "working class" in the psychic network of the Four-Armed people and have adapted to the psychic power of the people. Although they cannot actively initiate psychic communication, passively accepting information from higher-level beings is not a problem.

Ai'er's psychic power undoubtedly belongs to the only supreme ruler in the "ethnic network" of the Four-Armed People. Once his news spreads, there is no need to think, let alone question. His descendants and all believers and laborers instinctively obey the supreme authority.

The mortals interrupted their work and stood there with their eyes closed. The descendants and high-level servants went a step further and used their psychic powers to block their perception of the outside world.

To Al, this moment was like the principal trying to find out which university dormitory had tampered with the circuit and pulled the switch off before the power outage was supposed to happen at 11 o'clock. As a result, the dormitory building that was brightly lit just now suddenly became pitch black. At this time, the few dormitories that still had lights on became the most suspicious targets.

It was also like a scene from a movie he had seen before he traveled through time: several Chinese people went to teach a teacher who was teaching Korean students a lesson, and mixed in with a group of Korean students in the classroom. In order to find these people, the teacher reminded them in Korean in advance, and then suddenly said "Stand up" in Chinese. In the end, the four protagonists who stood up were identified.

He was confident that he could do this because, up to now, no wizard had been able to analyze the composition, source, and essence of psychic power. The information transmitted by psychic power was absolutely reliable and safe, and it was also

Chapter 398

The existence of the important threshold of "identity identification" eliminates the risk of information being leaked to people outside the Four-Armed Clan.

......

All of this was naturally unknown to Celine, her two disciples and her master in the sky. Celine had been observing the movements on the ground with her naked eyes. She knew that sometimes even the most profound magic would be countered by stronger enemies, and using "mortal" means was actually safer.

Then a strong light suddenly burst out from the ground, and a gate about dozens of meters long suddenly appeared above the pyramid. A tall and burly giant with colorful light flowing all over his body - no, a giant god walked out of the gate.

He was dressed in glittering golden armor and looked extremely majestic.

Celine subconsciously regarded him as some formidable opponent. She searched her memory to see which ancient king's image matched this.

The "God of the Sky" who once enslaved the Aegeans, the Tyrant of Thunder, is indeed a giant in Celine's memory, but he seems to be different from the "Giant of Light, Golden Armored Warrior" on the ground?

While she was thinking, Al had already locked onto the only stalker who was still "paying attention" to him through his psychic power.

"I found you!"

He still has the mood to sell a cute thing that no one will hear.

Whether it is the giant bronze gate or the giant of light, they are naturally "illusions" created by El using his psychic power. However, this illusion can be observed by people, and all attention to them will be locked by El.

“He actually hid in the clouds.”

Once the target is identified, no matter how successful or hidden the previous disguise was, it will be clearly visible under El's psychic lock.

"Three elves?"

"Helen's kindred."

One strong and two weak, three mages, three extraordinary people. Al sensed a faint threat from the leader, probably a person who was difficult enough to deal with, but not enough to cause him any harm.

It's like catching a kitten, puppy, or a larger moth.

written request for leave

Take a day off

Chapter 70: I chase you and you run away

Seeing through the enemy's disguise, El instantly flashed into the clouds.

He enveloped himself in psychic power, turning himself into a cloud.

He was floating in front of Celine.

But the great wizard ignored the powerful enemy that was so close to him and continued to carefully observe the movements on the ground.

It wasn't until the Cloud-Transforming Water Element suddenly sent her a message that she realized something was wrong:

As a low-intelligence elemental creature, the water element did not recognize El's psychic disguise. It indeed regarded El as a part of "water and air", a part of itself, but the problem was that it sensed that it suddenly "had an extra part".

The water element didn't know there was anything unusual about this, and it might not even have the concept of "abnormal". But as a great wizard, Celine made a lot of "settings" for the water element, even though the former was just a "teaching prop" she used to teach her disciples who had not yet reached the seventh environment to comprehend the elemental state in advance. If there were any changes, the water element would inform her in time.

At this time and place, any unexpected event that is not within common sense can be understood as:

She was exposed.

The enemy had discovered her existence and, in a way that she didn't even sense, had touched the water element, otherwise the latter would not have reported to her that "my body has become bigger."

Theoretically, Celine's method of using cloud-transforming water elements to sense the surroundings and issue warnings is something that anyone who sees it for the first time cannot avoid.

The cloud-like water element is composed of countless water molecules and oxygen, which are invisible and intangible. It is so small that it is undetectable, but it is everywhere and is regarded as a whole. Any existence that comes to its location can be regarded as entering the body of the water element, and will naturally touch countless water vapors that are invisible and imperceptible to the naked eye, and then be perceived by the water element.

Even Al ignored this point. He just disguised himself to the extreme. Even if Celine condensed the water element again and disassembled it into the most subtle elemental essence for anatomical research, she would never be able to find him.

But for Celine at this moment, she didn't need to do that at all. She just needed to know that she was exposed.

The legendary elf wizard immediately tried to cast a teleportation spell to escape from here with his two disciples.

As an "antique" whose lifespan spans thousands of years and whose exact figures are no longer reliable, Celine's wealth and means are undoubtedly substantial.
