Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Adwin——good man!

He gave him opportunities, status, military merits, a harem, and even a female wizard who had returned from studying in the floating city to serve as his advisor.

When Al thought about his previous plan to conquer Herat, destroy its country, hang its head, and take its wives and concubines, he felt deeply ashamed.

He has given me so much?

What else can't I be satisfied with?

So I always remind myself that I must not be too demanding on Adwin, a big experience package like this. When I take over Herat in the future, I will promise him gold, silver, treasures, and a few fast horses and let him go.

Al is a person who doesn't mind eating or drinking anything. Apart from being a troublemaker and being the one who stirs up trouble, he has no taboos on most things. Of course, anything too strong, like "beautiful" or "ice love" (good kids, don't search for that), is a no-no. Also, anything involving physical contact...

There is absolutely no psychological burden in taking over someone else's car - it's even more interesting.

Just set it to exclusive use after you have opened it.

Or the husband is currently committing...

In the mountain battle, he destroyed King Adwin's army, captured more than ten thousand soldiers, hundreds of military nobles, and almost half of the prince's harem. Except for the legitimate one, only one "queen" did not accompany the army because she was dissatisfied with the difficult mountain journey and the high risk of the expedition. She needed a person with sufficient dignity and prestige to maintain the situation in case of defeat. Therefore, most of the prince's concubines and female favorites were taken with the army.

They are not only a diversion for the prince in his spare time, but also tools that can be used from time to time.

For example, if the battle went against them, they would be pulled out and chopped off as a sacrifice flag, using the bloody and beautiful head to show the soldiers the king's determination to fight to the death, or they could be taken out to win over the subordinates and reward meritorious officials...

It could even be a way to curry favor with the victor over the spoils in case of defeat.

Thinking about it this way, Al was having a party with them while they were pregnant, and while ensuring safety, it could really be said that the taste was very light.

There were seventeen concubines and female slaves in total that he took over from the prince, as well as some servants. Al did not keep the servants and replaced them all with his own people. As for the harem, he naturally accepted them with a smile. On the night that Adwin said: "Master Mage, please take them all to atone for my offense," Al slept with all seventeen beauties.

Very brave and good at fighting.

I just wonder if the prince in the next yard fell asleep after listening to the continuous artillery fire all night. Was he jealous or envious of Al's terrifying physical fitness?

After all, he had been unable to even dote on his beloved Zeina for a long time. Perhaps there was a deeper reason... perhaps he didn't want Zeina to get pregnant? To avoid attracting the Queen's disapproval, then he really loved her.

Silver was happy for a while, but the consequence was that within less than a month, when the foundation of the new city had just been laid and it had not yet been named "Norman City", Al had given birth to seventeen more children.

Adding Ansuna's and Zeina's two and Nidalee's third, there are a total of twenty people.

It is at a level that is just right for launching a major expedition.

After all, I have already expected this, and I am sure that I will continue to give birth to my offspring.

Chapter 78

After the birth of Cyrus' third son Caesar, Al's psychic power was also enhanced, and he was destined to continue on the path of having children and increasing his military power.

Moreover, as Elsa and the others showed an extremely fast growth rate, there was one more reason for El to have to keep having children:

His descendants, in addition to inheriting his four hands and four arms, which seemed to have not yet fully developed their functions, and his psychic powers, also inherited Al's warlock system and his spellcasting ability.

Chapter 63: Vanguard of the Counterattack

When Elsa first demonstrated her spellcasting ability in front of the female sorceress Grace, the near-god from the floating city was in an indescribable shock.

What did she see?

A cub that is only ten months old and grows at an astonishing speed can control the elements - this means that her spellcasting ability is innate!

As far as the mages know, this is the case in the world of Il, except for a few rare cases that have never occurred among humans.

A human being who can control magic power from birth can only mean one thing:

Witch King!

If the wizard kings who dominated the world in ancient times said that wizards were respected as "near gods", then they were the true gods of the old world.

They destroyed armies, overthrew ancient empires, collapsed mountains, and even tore apart plates, making the entire world tremble and submit under their power.

The innate power made the wizard kings in the wild old days like giants breaking into children's playgrounds, gods walking on the earth. Even a weak tribe on the brink of extinction could soar to the sky because of the birth of a "god". The huge magic power was the powerful foundation of the wizard kings, but it would also cause their personalities and traits to shift to varying degrees.

Every one of them, according to Al's point of view, has some psychological problems. "You are a bit too extreme.jpg."

Coupled with the frequent wars and internal friction among them, as well as the retracing of the magic tide, the threshold for controlling magic power has been lowered, and more and more mortal spellcasters have been born. It is no longer the situation as before. Only a very small number of people with extremely good talents can be accepted by magic power at the beginning of their birth, and then they will rush towards them madly and spontaneously, thus the existence of the "Witch King" or "King of Magic" appeared.

The mages rose up and defeated the independent, extreme and stubborn wizard kings in several wars. They killed or exiled the old gods from the world of Eir. The followers of the "old gods" were also struck by thunder, just like the group of four-armed ones.

Some groups may have caught the eye of the Witch King and were taken away, caught the escape bus and were not liquidated. Most of those who remained were cleansed, and in the end people didn't even realize that these people existed.

For example, the mountain people's worship of four arms is only regarded as a primitive totemic belief of a group of backward barbarians, rather than a mortal enemy that once fought a life-and-death battle with the magic group, like the remnants of Asta and the Xerxes.

After the fall of the Witch Kings and the severance of the Old Ones by the Wizards, until the World War, when the giant city finally floated into the air and the order of the White Tower rose, no "Old God" was born again in the entire world of Il.

All spellcasters born after the fall of the Old Ones—whether they were common apprentices or those noble descendants of the Nine Rings of Mystic Blood—without exception, no matter how exceptional their talents were, they had to master these two words to master the casting of magic:

study!

Just like doing a problem.

The White Tower Mage and his disciples integrated their knowledge and skills in a structured manner, and eventually established the foundation of the Nine-Ring Arcane System for the White Tower Order, allowing them to study and advance step by step.

Learning magic, starting from the first level, requires a continuous investment of time and energy. Furthermore, starting from the first level, you will need to spend a lot of money on purchasing materials, meditation (study) room fees, experience books (teaching supplements)...

Although the White Tower would regularly distribute a lot of supplies, enough for a mage to grow "normally", any mage apprentice with even the slightest ambition would not stay in a cramped training room and repeatedly practice the most basic first-level "tricks" while his peers were working as assistants for formal mages. Instead, they would find odd jobs in the floating city in exchange for extra supplies to further their spells.

For example, Grace took three years to learn a few zero-level tricks and master the basic mage ability of [Element Mastery]. She waited another two years for the formal evaluation, which means she was officially inducted into the profession after five years. At that time, her grades were not ideal. It happened that the senior mage who was in charge of the evaluation and defense of her group of apprentices to become formal mages in the floating city of "Palace of Wisdom" at that time and gave subjective intention points helped Grace, who was also a woman, because of the prevalence of men in the floating city and the decline of women. This allowed her to successfully enter the profession and become a formal mage.

But it's not free either.

After passing the rating, she immediately went to work as an apprentice for the senior female wizard for a while, but she also gained a lot from her growth. As a result, she came into contact with the "wise and foolish" wizard and later turned to follow her to learn skills.

Then, under the arrangement of fate and the few scales and armor obtained by the "wise fool" who tried to "peek into the future", Grace came to the Serso area, an abandoned land regarded by the wizard as a poor magic land.

And then there's...

.........

"Go take care of your brothers and sisters."

As soon as they met, Al immediately greeted the boss

Chapter 79

The second one.

"Caesar is there alone."

He walked over, rubbed the heads of his eldest daughter and second son with his hands respectively, and fixed his eyes on the man following behind the pair of children.

Wearing a blue robe, he stood silently.

So the eldest daughter and the second son took the order and left. Before leaving, they turned around and said goodbye to Grace.

"Let's go, teacher."

"Ah."

The female mage seemed to be very frugal with her words at this moment.

After the two heirs left, Al gestured to Grace to go inside. The latter raised her eyebrow but did not move, obviously having sensed the mess in the room.

Even without the need for perception, the strong, greasy, and dizzying smell can be smelled by people outside the house.

Although the female mage had no choice but to surrender to El and choose to serve him, out of respect for the extraordinary people, El did not treat her differently.

For example, being forced to do that, being locked in a dungeon and showing Ahegao, and having sex.

Anyway, there will always be a chance to stir-fry the meat in his own pot, so he is not in a hurry.

Charm has little effect on Grace. A powerful magician can resist it through mental strength. Even after giving up resistance, this is a strong passive.

However, the [Spiritual Infection] in El's bloodline ability can penetrate this influence. The female mage herself is also aware that El has some strange abilities, so generally she tries to avoid them as much as possible and is wary of every contact with him.

But because I need him, we have to meet again...

"How long will it take for you to fulfill the power you promised me?"

Grace tried her best to soften her tone without sounding flattering. After reaching a deal with El and realizing the mystery surrounding El, like Ansuna, a bold guess gradually emerged in Grace's mind.

Her thoughts on Al, his powers, and his origins were as follows:

The dead remnants of the exiles!

The lackey of the ancient witchcraft tyrant!

The remnants of the defeated forces who are unwilling to accept their fate!

The vanguard of the remnants of the past who launched a counterattack!

Chapter 64: The Mage's Difficult Journey and the Witch

Under normal circumstances, knowing this situation, Grace would definitely run as far away as possible. If the sky falls and the Witch Kings counterattack the world of Il, there will be the White Tower Wizards and the Supreme Council to support them.

If they were all defeated, then a three-ring mage like her would have no choice but to go with the flow and try to survive.

But she had already fallen into Al's hands. Since the latter had exposed all this to her, it was naturally impossible for him to let her leave unharmed.

So after a period of psychological struggle, she once again surrendered to Al, and this time, she came to surrender.

Al may not know how boring and even "painful" it is for a wizard, especially someone like Grace, who is not particularly talented among wizards.

Even the most common first-level spells such as [Illumination] and [Telepathy] have a huge amount of papers and materials to analyze their ins and outs, their effects in different situations, ideas for improvement, usage techniques, etc.

Different floating cities might use different teaching materials for private teaching. Due to the requirements of the White Tower, high-level mages must regularly produce some teaching materials. In order to get things done, many people mostly use the method of using a large number of words to start from the low-level spell explanations and stack up. As a result, the textbooks are boring and long. In addition to working for the instructor, working, and practicing spells, the apprentices' daily life is to study with big books every day.

According to the requirements of the Floating City, in order to verify their results, all officially released teaching materials must also be regularly submitted by apprentices with notes, steps, screenshots, no, practice process...

For example, in order to learn the [Frozen Spear], Grace purchased six or seven textbooks and experience materials, totaling more than hundreds of thousands of words.

Although most of them are repetitive, in order to master this secret weapon which is the best for the current situation, one has to bite the bullet and read them, to repeatedly chew out the truly useful experience and wisdom of the predecessors from the huge amount of text.

Moreover, it is not enough to just remember this knowledge in the brain. It also requires continuous practical operation and practice, and finally passing the "defense" to obtain the qualification to cast spells and enter them into the spell slot.

This process consumes a great deal of energy and money. Even some powerful spells can put the mage at considerable risk during training. For example, if the power of a Pyroblast isn't properly controlled and it explodes while rubbing your hands, even with the protective effects of the training ground, the mage will likely be bedridden for ten days or even half a month...

Grace had encountered this situation before during her experiments, from apprentice to formal mage. It was milder, but the feeling was not pleasant either.

Mastering magic is an achievement worth boasting about, and it is the qualification for promotion to the top of the secular world. Transforming from an apprentice to a wizard means officially stepping into the extraordinary world. For those with lower aspirations, becoming a formal wizard means enough to find a consulting job in the secular world that is luxurious enough to live a comfortable life.

As long as you are not so depressed that you forget all your spells, and can bear the consequences of not making any progress for several years, being ordered to correct your mistakes by the academy, or even being sent back to retake the courses in serious cases, you can definitely live out your life like Al (bushi) in a small place in a remote frontier.

After all, the mage said,

Chapter 80

Those who are close to gods are still within the scope of mortals. Mages below the seventh ring cannot live without food and drink.

The demands are basically the same. The boring training and dangerous work make many wizards miserable. Except for a few geniuses who can remember everything they see and apply it to other situations, most people, like Grace, need to invest a lot of time and money to support the training of spells. What's the point of learning magic if you have no money and no intelligence?

Therefore, many mages choose to return to secular life for training after obtaining certification. Traveling to accumulate knowledge and experience is one reason, while directly acquiring first-hand worldly resources to support the improvement of their magic is another reason.

Of course, another very important factor is...

After being a humble servant in the floating city for so long! ——— What's wrong with coming to the mortal world to claim the throne and be the master?!

Even if one can achieve greatness in the mortal world, a truly ambitious mage will never forget his or her original mission. However, if one seeks to improve on the path of magic, a great deal of investment is required...

Therefore, learning magic is essentially a very "painful" thing. Of course, if the opportunity to experience this "pain" comes to the mortal world, countless people will scramble for it; but for most new wizards who are brought to the floating city for training, ranging in age from a few years old to teenagers, mastering the power of magic and being worshipped and having a high status is good - at the same time, the pain of learning magic still bothers everyone except geniuses.

On one side is the prosperous and enjoyable world, but it can also make people "abandoned" and "depraved"; on the other side is the sky that represents infinite possibilities. Every mage has a desire for the latter in his heart, but reality forces them to spend a lot of time on the former.

Grace knew clearly that a spellcaster with mediocre talent like herself might never reach the true transcendence of the seventh ring in her entire life. The skills of transforming oneself into elements, turning into a necromancer, or other skills to prolong life and change race were the inner ring secrets firmly grasped by the White Tower. They could not be accessed without reaching that level. For people with average talent, it was almost impossible to touch that threshold except by investing a lot of time, which became a vicious circle.

Most mages are actually unaware of this limitation. After all, after mastering magic, their lifespans have exceeded those of ordinary mortals, but the limitation still exists. Grace knows some deeper inside stories of the White Tower because of the "wise fool" she follows, through the other's sometimes nonsense, which seems alarmist and like secret words.

For example, at least before the White Tower established the Nine Rings System, learning magic was not like it is now. People with average talent would spend their whole lives in the ocean of knowledge to make progress, while people with outstanding talent would also have to take one step at a time and climb up the stairs before they could make a leap... Zhiyu, who was mysterious, crazy, and of unreliable age, and was even in awe of the senior female mentor Grace once served, once leaned against the top of the observatory in a rude manner after a stargazing ceremony, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and spoke to Grace in a sarcastic tone, or perhaps he was talking to himself, treating her as if she were air.

"Our Supreme Council and the White Tower mages are the smartest people in the world. Their essence is exactly the same as those they defeated... They only see the world and themselves, and the world is themselves."

"It's just that they are weaker than the 'losers'. That's why they can't become the new 'losers', so they have to make compromises."

These words sounded like "treasonous words" that burned her ears as Grace, who was still quietly finishing the finishing work after the ceremony. However, neither Zhiyu nor the White Tower Mage could offend a mere three-ring mage like her. After all, the former was right in front of her, so she could only pretend that she heard nothing. She didn't even dare to think of eavesdropping on the secret. She only thought about how to get down as soon as possible to avoid being "silenced".

Finally, the wise fool ended his madness with a proverb from a foreign country that Grace had found in a travel notebook about the East Continent after secretly searching through many books after coming to the mortal world.

"'Your Majesty is truly so gifted and wise that even heroes across the world pay homage to you until their old age!'"

It tells the story of a king who was very distressed because his people were brave and belligerent, and he finally came up with a solution:

He searched all over the world for beauties and selected a hundred stunning beauties. He took all of them as his daughters and set a very complicated problem for each daughter. He declared that anyone who could solve the puzzle of a princess could become a great noble and obtain one percent of all the power in the kingdom.
