Four-Armed Divine Emperor

[Elemental Control]: The basic use of magic power, releasing magic power as a single or mixed element, the basic ability of the mage.

[Dragon Might·Command Beast]: Recruit a beast from nearby and use it temporarily as your magical pet. You can also specify an object.

[Sun Flare]: The Settraites serve the sun, and their bloodline can use the power of the sun to fight, using sunlight to strike enemies under the sun's light.

There were five bloodline abilities, two of which were mutated, and especially the last two, [Dragon Might·Command Beast] and [Flame Sun Flare], which made Al look confused.

His understanding of warlocks was that they were different from wizards who relied on magic power and could rely on the abilities in their blood to cast spells, but he was sure that his ancestors were all native-born, and the offspring of the "noble and mysterious Queen of the East, the eldest lady wearing silk gloves" had nothing to do with that "Setra bloodline".

He also confirmed it after traveling through time. Although his body had undergone many changes and was stronger and more robust than before, he still had the same foundation as before, so he should be considered a flesh-and-blood traveler.

So.......

Al then had a terrifying thought.

His two sets of golden fingers, one set of genetic bloodline, and one set of warlock talents, don't seem to be from the same system at all.

The power of a warlock is inherited through blood... Could it be that the power of the El warlock was added in addition?

Combined with the last description of the talent of [Father of the Clan]: "Can transform other creatures, give them blood, and bring them new life..."

Thinking about it!

Before he came to this world, he happened to be wrapped in an egg. Although there was no trace of the eggshell or the purple mucus after the fall, Al was very sure that such an experience had taken place.

In the end, Al, who couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, decided to put the matter aside for the time being and think about it later.

Compared to the five abilities that were either mutations or blood-inherited, the spell templates available to him were much more normal, and the level divisions were also a nine-ring system that he could easily understand.

Al is now a first-level warlock, and the panel indicates that he can choose three zero-ring spells, two first-ring spells, and one second-ring solidification.

Al looked for a long time. Many spells were quite effective, such as [Stun: Makes a creature dizzy, the duration of the effect depends on the opponent's will]. But Al felt that he could do this with his psychic power. The power of psychic power seemed to be unique in the world of El. At least Al had never seen similar "mental power" mentioned in so many books, which further strengthened his view that the power in his body came from different systems.

Some of the spells he could choose from could be found in books, and should be the native magic system of the Il world.

In the end, in order not to waste spell slots, he carefully selected for a long time and chose:

[Detection Magic: Detects the opponent's approximate strength. Can be detected by people with high perception]

[Increase resistance: Increase damage resistance for yourself or others]

【Communication: Talk quietly with the designated person at a distance】

[Mage Armor: Creates strong magic armor]

[Instantaneous Double Image: Create multiple illusions of yourself]

【Dimension Jump: Short distance teleportation target】

He solidified these six spells into his own casting slot. By the way, Al found that he had no mana and attribute settings. After Ansuna left, he chose to try to release spells. After frequent use, he found that it consumed his physical and mental strength.

There are six spells, four of which are defensive in nature, and one is a reconnaissance spell. It can be said that Al has chosen very cautiously.

Of course, it was also because he found that his [Elemental Control] had covered the effects of many low-level spells, and with the assistance of psychic power, he would definitely give priority to self-preservation spells in the formal spell slots.

As for the situation of magic power, Al didn't know the details, but that was all he could learn from the books the Devegael people found for him. If he wanted to learn more about magic, he might only be able to do so by contacting real wizards or even going to the floating city.

A day passed like this.

When the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the ground, Al opened his eyes.

He woke up naturally, stood up, drank some water, sat at the desk and began to look through the books that the Devon Gale family had found for him.

"History of the Kingdom of Bleio" tells the history of the country that rules this land. The Kingdom of Bleio is the country to which the Devon Gael nobles are subordinate. In this kingdom located in the east of the continent, which is a backward and wild area, the feudal lords and nobles are very independent.

To give a simple example:

The Kingdom of Xerxes, founded by the Eastern Zoroastrians, invaded the eastern territory of Devingale, which belonged to the Kingdom of Blaeo. In theory, the kingdom did not need to care about it and had no obligation to help, unless the Devingale people could no longer hold on and chose to ask the king for help. Once it did so, the price it paid would be compared to the price it paid for a bloody battle with the Xerxes. It would be difficult to say which was better.

And just then, the visitor came again.

Someone knocked on the door. After being invited in by El, Ansuna walked into the room with servants carrying trays of food.

The female knight changed her outfit today. She was no longer wearing the somewhat sensual female knight outfit, but a white dress. Her sunny golden hair was tied up in a bun, with some loose hair hanging on both sides of her temples.

She looks like a lady from a noble family.

But El felt...how to put it, after seeing Ansuna in knight uniform, he still felt that a military uniform was more suitable for Ansuna.

Give me back that heroic and noble female knight from yesterday...

Al complained in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

After the servants set the table, they said goodbye and left, leaving their young lady to serve Al attentively. This was also a special order from the family.

The breakfast was very rich, with meat, eggs, milk, bread, sauce and everything in between. They even prepared a fragrant roast chicken and a wide variety of fruits, fearing that Al would not have an appetite.

Al complained about who would eat this so early in the morning, but it was just his old living habit. Maybe that's how the people of Tartarus are?

He was not used to being served like this, so he simply moved the chair where he had a long talk with Ansuna yesterday and let the female knight sit on the other side. The two sat opposite each other, ate together, and communicated from time to time.

Of course, Al knew that Ansuna, or the Devingails, wanted to please him and win him over to their camp to fight against the Xerxes.

He was indeed considering whether to accept the recruitment of the Devon Gaels. Although he complained about the chaos in the Thurso area and that magic was a rare strategic weapon here, it was precisely because of this that Al, who was disguised as a wizard but was actually a warlock who did not rely on magic to cast spells, could survive and develop here.

If he really went to a prosperous area, he, a rookie with only a few abilities, would easily be discovered and exposed.

He read a lot of information about the Xerxes and the Zoroastrians last night. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he found that there was also a camp notebook about the last war in the pile of books. It recorded the course of the war in detail, as well as some information about the wizard that was very important to Al.

Al had a rough estimate in his mind.

This matter has certain risks, but if it helps the Devon Gaels win, or if his appearance restores the balance of power between the two sides and thus eliminates a possible war, the gains will be huge.

The Devon Gale family will treat him as a guest of honor and provide him with protection. Al can also obtain a large territory as his own, have a public identity, and officially have a stable foothold in this world.

......

Al held the book in one hand and flipped through the pages with the other, while the other two arms were responsible for using the knife and fork to put the food into his mouth.

Ansuna sat opposite him, exchanging a few words with him from time to time, but she saw that the man's hands suddenly stopped moving.

【Infection·Group Charm】!

After the silent surge of power, the female knight Ansuna, who was cutting the bread on the plate and communicating with El at the same time, felt dizzy and almost dropped the knife and fork in her hand.

When she came to her senses, she thought it was just the aftereffects of drinking yesterday and having a long talk with Al, which was caused by being drunk and staying up late.

A mental mark was left on Ansuna by El.

From this moment on, this noble knight of the Devon Gale family will gradually treat El as a close friend with whom she can talk about anything and confide in each other, and even gradually develop feelings of love for him.

Al is not a bad guy, but he is not a very good guy either.

In this strange world and dangerous land, he must use his talents and powers to prioritize himself.

And Ansuna, who is willing to get close to him, is naturally a good character who can help him.

"Where were we talking about?" El deliberately asked a question to guide Ansuna to think.

The female knight came back to her senses and gave El an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"It's okay..." El held the book, and the third hand under his arm reached out to the cutlery in front of Ansuna, pointing his finger at her water cup.

With a "hiss" sound, the air began to freeze.

The magic power turned into an icy airflow of elements and entered the cup. A blue dragon could be seen spinning in the water, and a cold breath soon seeped out of the cup.

"Please, it will be better this way."

Ansuna stared at El, and some strange thoughts came to her mind.

She felt that the man in front of her was so mysterious, powerful and charming.

She had the honor of visiting the floating city. Although it was only a short experience, Ansuna was still deeply shocked by the magnificence she saw that was unimaginable to mortals, and she dreamed of the scene in the sky again many nights after leaving.

As a high-ranking knight, Ansuna returned to her hometown, to the Thurso area, a chaotic and wild area, to the Kingdom of Blaeo, a country far away from magic and a prosperous and civilized country, and returned to her hometown of Devangel, a rural territory in a remnant country in a wild area.

Perhaps she would remain unmarried to protect her family; perhaps she would marry into other noble families in the Kingdom of Blaeo and bring allies to Devangel.

Even worse, she might die in a conflict, or be captured by an enemy, such as a nomadic barbarian, a green-skinned orc, or perhaps Dverngere was simply destroyed by the coming war, and she would be a captive of Xerxes, a spoil of war, waiting to be divided among the enemies who had been hostile to her for centuries...

And now, there is an opportunity in front of Ansuna.

Those who touch the mystery and serve the mystery will ascend to heaven from being mortals to become the relatives and retainers of the "near god".

This is an incomparable temptation for Ansuna, who has always been obsessed with the prosperity and greatness she once witnessed.

So much so that her heart was beating violently at the thought.

The female knight's hands were shaking slightly. She picked up the water cup and drank it all in one gulp. The cold liquid flowed down her esophagus into her stomach, causing her muscles to spasm.

She put down her glass and stared at Al with her green eyes.

Just when El thought that his spell might have had some negative effect, Ansuna suddenly stood up, left her seat, and picked up the knife on the table. This action allowed El's psychic power to instantly lock onto her, but Ansuna did not make any threatening moves, but pointed the blade at herself.

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

After cutting the joints of her clothes with a few knives, Ansuna grabbed the cut with both hands, bulged her muscles, and tore it apart with force.

The female knight tore off the dress that originally had the temperament of a lady from a noble family, and tore it apart quickly with a few more rips. Then, her upper body was left with only a tight-fitting underwear and something that looked very similar to the bra that El remembered, which was faintly visible under the cover of the thin clothes.

But Ansuna's actions did not stop there. She quickly took off the last piece of underwear, and now the woman's upper body was almost naked exposed in front of El.

A toned yet flexible body, the combination of well-trained muscles and feminine charm, is a unique feeling. For a moment, El felt as if he was also cast a charm by Ansuna. Fortunately, his concentration is now far greater than before, and he will not lose his composure because of this.

"Hmm?" El put his hands on the dining table, crossed his hands in front of him, and made a classic commander's posture, staring at Ansuna without blinking.

"I, Ansuna Devengail, a high-ranking knight trained in the floating city, the daughter of a local noble, and the captain of the knights here, long to pledge my allegiance to you, the honorable mage, Lord El!"

The topless woman knelt down and swore an oath to him.

Chapter 5: The reward for loyalty is offspring

This was the nth time that Ansuna knelt down in front of him, but this time was different.

The naked oath is a ceremony among the Bleu people in which slaves express their submission and swear allegiance to their masters.

They believe that nakedness is the original form of human beings, and they want to return to their original form - that is, to take off all clothes without covering themselves. The words they say and the things they do have sacred meanings, such as oaths and allegiance.

Generally, there is only one time when a knight-erranted warrior or a rising noble would sign a feudal contract with the lord, which signifies an unbreakable contract between the two families.

El was silent for a moment, his heart madly admiring the powerful force of the charm technique. What he didn't know was that Ansuna had always been unwilling to be ordinary and wanted to move forward. The psychological suggestion he planted in her was just to ignite the vague thoughts that Ansuna had been thinking since she knew his identity as a mage, and she suddenly realized:

El, the mage in front of her who claimed to have come down from the floating city and had lost his memory was her best chance to escape from her current environment.

While asking: "Why?"

Asuna was about to speak, El interrupted her by waving his hand.

"Forget it. It's nothing more than power, glory, advancement, or revenge. No need to answer."

"If I accept, then what you want, I will grant, I will fight for you, then..."

El stood up, left his seat, walked to Ansuna, crossed his arms in front of him, and looked down at the naked female knight who surrendered to him.

"Tell me, what can you bring to me?"

The psychic power told him that Ansuna's emotions were now nervous, expectant, uneasy and confused. In short, they were very disordered, but she had no ill will towards him. Instead, she was more of a panicked anticipation.

So this is a sincere commitment?

"You are considering whether to accept my family's recruitment, right?"

Ansuna raised her head and looked at El with a sincere look.

Al nodded.

"I have three ways to help you acquire territory wealth or help you find your memories," Ansuna said quickly. She then looked up at El, who nodded slightly, indicating that she should continue. She was very excited and continued:

"First, accept the offer. If the war hadn't begun, the Xerxes might have reassessed their expansion plans because of your presence. My family would have hired you as the lord's advisor with the promised compensation."

"But relatively speaking, you may need to sign a contract with my family and assume certain responsibilities. There is no risk, but the rewards will not be as generous, and you will also be subject to certain restrictions."

When Ansuna proposed three ways, El inexplicably had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Then suddenly realized.

Aren’t these the “three strategies” of ancient strategists?

But what Ansuna said really hit the mark of his consideration. El planned to continue listening to what she had to say and see what this female knight who suddenly chose to serve El under the influence of his spell could come up with to impress him.

"Second, sign a one-time employment contract. Help Devengail deal with the current crisis. Take a commission and travel to Kalvik, or through the Antoria Mountains to the Aegean Free Confederacy. There's a civilization far more advanced than Blaeo, and you'll have easy access to floating cities and magical powers, which will be of great help in finding your memories."

Calvik is the capital of Brio, and there is no floating city in Brio, or more accurately in the entire chaotic land of Thurso. It is only said that there is a closed floating city and some magic towers of hermit wizards in the depths of the endless mountains of Antoria, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.
