Four-Armed Divine Emperor

There is no doubt that if the influence of the extraordinary people is ignored at this moment, such a country will inevitably cause a storm even in the remote eastern part of the entire Il world.

This makes some people, such as Xu Yunke, who wrote about his travels in the "Roman Republic" of Thurso, and his readers very curious:

This(these) great wizards, in a secular country that is so barren to them that breathing here is a waste of time, are making such a big fuss about unification, development and reform. What exactly do they want to do?

Yeah, what on earth do “they” want to do?

Chapter 127: Ardabil

Chapter 127: Ardabil (1)

"What do you want to do?!"

In the northern part of the Alan Empire, in a border city, in the Governor's Mansion of Ardabil.

The city governor, who was wearing a golden silk robe, a crown, and had a traditional Zoroastrian beard, was in his room, staring at the envoys who suddenly attacked with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

There were only three people who came to "see" the governor, but except for the one who had not yet left, the remaining two were extremely skilled. With just one encounter, all his guards fell down and lost their resistance.

The governor naturally would not have thought that the three envoys who came to his mansion to offer gifts in exchange for forgiveness were all extraordinary people.

In the tradition of the Zoroastrians, the status of a spellcaster is extremely noble. As a holy witch, he would be welcomed if he appeared in public. How could he possibly disguise himself as a messenger and go deep into the mansion?

So after his guards were dealt with in an instant, the governor was shocked and angry, but he just thought that the other party was extraordinary, or used some special means, and did not think in that direction.

The cold and aloof woman sitting opposite the Governor had her eyes closed. Her psychic power had already explored the room inside and out. Only after confirming that there was no threat did she open her eyes and look at the Governor.

She has a pair of ice-blue eyes and bright silver-white hair that falls to her shoulders. Her appearance alone gives people a sense of coldness and loneliness.

"A beautiful slave girl."

This was the Governor's first impression of her.

Blue eyes and white hair are the characteristics of a minority group in the Usriv Tsardom. Usriv is in the central and western part of the Tartarus continent, and Alan is in the east, so they rarely interact with each other.

The status of women among the Zoroastrian people is neither high nor low. Their power depends on men or their offspring and is generally confined to the inner room.

The only women who were allowed to show up and handle affairs for their masters were usually slaves.

The Governor even thought that this was a gesture of goodwill from the owners of the caravan he had detained, specifically to pick on them.

Chapter 165

A slave girl from a distant foreign land was chosen to be in charge of this diplomacy” to please him.

But he was obviously wrong...

"It was you who ordered the seizure of the goods and the killing of three believers." The silver-haired, blue-eyed woman spoke, causing the Governor's heart to tighten.

He swallowed hard, trying to maintain control of the situation. "Northerners, your caravan is smuggling in the land of Eternal Fire. By the decree of the King of Kings, I am detaining them according to the law."

Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, he plucked up the courage and said, "Now you are attacking a...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...!" The governor's words turned into a scream before he could finish them.

The short meat-cutting knife on the table in front of him suddenly stabbed into his thigh. With no one approaching, the governor didn't even know how the knife moved.

The woman lost interest in the conversation and looked around.

"Which one of you is coming?"

"He's a fool, and I don't want to waste my seeds on someone like that."

The three heirs discussed it for a while. "Let's gather his family members first, select those with decent abilities and prestige, and then bring the successful ones to the fore."

"Okay, then let me take charge of the matter, and you will be in charge of the guards."

Without much discussion or debate, the three of them quickly made a decision.

One of them immediately stepped forward and walked towards the Governor, who was groaning and clutching his thigh, while looking back and forth at the three of them with a look of uncertainty.

As he walked towards the Governor, he opened his arms and a fanatical expression on his face, as if he was performing some sacred ritual.

The Governor watched in horror:

This man with a mixed-race face actually has another pair of arms under his nervously outstretched arms!

"Don't be afraid... Soon, the illness and the limitations of your mortal body will be gone." He walked up to the governor, and without him making any movement, an invisible force lifted the governor, who was considered to be of strong build, up into the air and faced the man.

The governor was not unfamiliar with the sacred look on his face. Zoroastrians were a rare civilization with a strong religious and sacred atmosphere. He had seen it on some fanatical Zoroastrians, and even he himself often made such an expression when performing sacrifices.

"Holy Witch!" Such a shocking thought emerged in the governor's mind.

But he couldn't say anything at all, and didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

An extraordinary person disguised himself and sneaked in for a batch of goods, lowering his status to stage a beheading farce with him?

How can it be!

......

"Blessed Father, He gave me spirit, flesh, and things, and is the Lord of all... Accept His grace, and the miracle has arrived." The man chanted like a charlatan, then stretched out his left hand from under his armpit. In the Governor's horrified eyes, the arm turned into pitch-black claws and grabbed his head.

The Governor did not know what happened next.

If he successfully woke up, then he would no longer worry about these things.

The three heirs from the north quickly injected all the guards in the room with the slave seeds from the servants. This transformation would not create third or fourth generation heirs among the descendants of Ai'er, but it would not cause too much change in the appearance and psychological condition of the infected, and their behavior patterns would not change much from the past, so as not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, but internally they were no different from those slaves who were completely submissive to their four-armed masters physically and mentally.

As the most important person in the city, the governor still needs to be "endowed with blood" with the seeds of real offspring to transform him into an offspring, even if the offspring may not like it.

Of course, if they fail, they will also seek other suitable offspring.

The Alan Empire has a deep-rooted tradition of clan and hereditary system. In border cities like this, positions from the governor to bureaucrats at all levels are generally jointly controlled by one or several families, and at most the high positions are rotated.

They were not worried about the consequences of the governor's death if the transformation failed. It would be enough to find someone from the powerful family in the city to replace him. Given A Lan's current situation, the change of people in charge in such remote areas did not even need to be reported to the higher authorities.

They had already had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation before they arrived.

Ardabil is a small border town with a total population of no more than 50,000 people within the territory. There is no extraordinary power affiliated with the government or the nobility in the city.

Even if there were, there were five heirs waiting in the team outside the city of Ardabil, ready to come to support at any time upon receiving the news.

They were not worried; it was an easy decapitation.

Al's estimation of his strength was not wrong.

It just takes time and enough stealth.

One of his descendants is enough to develop a huge clan numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands.

If they are given enough time, it will not be a problem for one person to infiltrate and take over a city.

128: Infiltration

In less than a week, the team of eight heirs infiltrated every aspect of Ardabil, making this border city in the north of the Alan Empire essentially fall into the control of the Four-Armed Man.

The three powerful families that ruled the city were all injected with gene seeds and "given new life", becoming another new group of four-armed people in the Alan Empire.

After the tribe expanded, Al discovered a new talent, which further improved the tribe's concealment. For example, it could allow his tribe to hide the most easily exposed features:

The extra pair of underarm

Chapter 166

arm.

By transforming them into a half-psychic and half-physical nature, they can be hidden when not needed. Even a five-ring spellcaster cannot detect its existence using various means. It is similar to some kind of spatial force. Psychic power is a power that has never existed in the world of Il, and the mages know nothing about it.

Once a death order is issued from a superior, even a newly born four-armed person outside will not easily reveal his abnormality even if facing the threat of death.

The former governor of Ardabil luckily passed the test of "Gift" and became a new fifth-generation four-armed man. When the transformation was completed, all prejudices disappeared, and he successfully integrated into a great ethnic group.

All descendants are born with some information about the tribe and have some understanding of the abilities they possess. In addition, the older "brothers" tell him some information, which makes the governor understand what he should do and his responsibilities.

"Maintain rule over Ardabil, select servants and raise an army, and await the will of the Father!"

When he received the order from the tribe, the once greedy, lustful, arrogant, selfish person - a corrupt nobleman and slave owner in the standard impression, turned into a fanatical believer who was ready to devote everything from life to soul to the cause of the tribe and the only respect for his father in just a few days.

"Yes! Blessed Holy Father!" The Governor was shirtless, holding up the new pair of arms, which were slightly smaller than normal arms and looked a little weird and deformed. In the eyes of the Governor, this was undoubtedly the most sacred symbol, a gift from the Father to His children.

After the transformation, he has gained the spellcasting ability and basic psychic power of a first-level warlock, which is undoubtedly a miracle.

Even without the brainwashing transformation that comes with the bloodline, just the blessing of ascending from a mortal to a supernatural being, even if they know they will become enemies of the White Tower, there will be many people who desire to obtain such power. What's more, the Governor has now been awarded the status of "respected father and son", and the endless blessings contained in his bloodline will naturally increase his worship and loyalty to the father of his bloodline infinitely.

Naturally, one must obey the arrangements from the "Father" absolutely.

If his tribe allowed him to be a foolish ruler, he could be violent and unjust; if they wanted him to rebel against the Alan Empire, he would train an elite force to march south to fight even if it meant destroying the land and causing the people to suffer.

Now let him lie in hiding, secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity, then he will secretly work hard and wait for the opportunity to respond to the Star Dragon!

........

After completing the infiltration of Ardabil, the eight-man group left four people to garrison there to monitor the situation under their jurisdiction and the surrounding areas. The other four people quietly led a team north in the name of caravan trade, returned to Constantine, and then reported to Ai'er.

This is not the first time they have done this.

Everything has become perfect with practice.

They have done this kind of thing many times in the territory of the Alan Empire, and now they are just repeating the same thing.

No one could have imagined that a group of noble "holy witches" would behave like assassins and thieves, and that they also possessed the ability to ignore any magical detection, turn a person into "their own" from the inside out, and control them.

Chapter 127: Ardabil (2)

Many years ago, there were similar situations where extraordinary people were used as killers, spies, and special forces. However, after the White Tower floated into the air, the status of mages continued to rise. Eventually, it became a tradition that mages could obtain a certain noble status simply by serving as offerings and providing extraordinary power support to secular dignitaries. Naturally, they would no longer bother to take risks.

After all, if you are defeated and captured on the battlefield, you are still a guest of the enemy. But if you use your noble status to do "despicable things", then even if you end up with swords piercing your back, even the floating city where you teach will not have any objection to it.

The White Tower only wants to monopolize spellcasters and magical resources and guarantee the status of spellcasters. Its mainstream members are generally intellectuals and scholars who pursue advancement. They have no interest in directly ruling mortals and governing the world with mages. They still have a cooperative and coexisting relationship with the secular world. As long as the rules that the White Tower is based on are not destroyed, such as the Uslev Tsardom once privately trained royal mages, they will still give the mortal rulers the respect they deserve.

To some extent, a mage assassinating a mortal ruler is like a mortal using a magic-breaking weapon against a spellcaster. It is a taboo and a violation of the rules. There have only been very few examples in history. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people do it very cleanly and have not been exposed. However, the fact that most people are not on guard against it shows that:

This kind of thing is indeed not even considered "vigilant" by the general public.

Therefore, the activities of the El people on the border of the Alan Empire can be said to be unstoppable. They have an overwhelming advantage over mortals as extraordinary people. If they encounter a spellcaster, they can use their psychic powers to sense and warn in advance and choose to avoid it.

Now, Ai'er's influence has spread across northern Alan, encompassing a vast area nearly the size of the entire land of Thurso. Through transformation, they have controlled numerous Alan dignitaries and even manipulated some mages who were stationed in certain locations and received secular offerings, "dragging" them into the waters and granting them the favor of their father, making them Ai'er's descendants and their brothers.

So Norman, or Rome, or "Astar Second Empire" or "Dragon Eagle Khan Court", in short, the power of Ai'er can be arbitrarily exerted on this land. Resources and technology from the outside world continuously pass through this land, which can actually "change the flag on the city wall" at any time and break away from the Alan Empire.

Chapter 167

The controlled area flows into the closed-off Thurso. In that mountainous land that no one in the outside world cares about, a terrifying giant beast and the factories and pastures that provide it with weapons and nutrition are constantly taking shape. However, its closest neighbor, the Alan Empire, which will be the first victim, still knows nothing about this...

And far away, surrounded by mountains, he has gradually become the creator of this giant beast hidden in the fog and unknown to the outside world.

Al.

He was "building a large-scale project and exhausting the people's strength" to build:

In Constantinople.

129. Constantinople

"It covers over 300 miles, blocking out the sun and the sky..."

Although Xu Yunke's travel notes are exaggerated in an oriental way, they are indeed very appropriate, allowing people who are thousands of miles away and can only imagine the actual scene through text descriptions to feel the beauty of this city, which is commonly called:

The city of Constantinople, or the grandeur of an extremely large and luxurious royal palace.

The reason why it is called a common name is because sometimes when Ai'er gets crazy, he tends to mess around. For example, it is very common to change the name of his own palace. If changing the country's name is not really a waste of administrative capacity and easy to cause confusion among the people, Ai'er might really "transform" Rome after a while like playing a game, such as changing its name to "Macedonia", "Demacia", "Roman Empire", "Astar Second Empire", "Zhendan Celestial Empire" and so on.

Constantinople is more of an urbanized palace than a "fortress" or a city.

All the people who live here are, without exception, fanatical believers of Ai'er. Even the ratio of the four-armed people to mortals is an astonishing 8:2. Two out of every ten people are either servants of genes or descendants of Ai'er.

This is equivalent to two "superhumans" among ten people.

Considering the current population of over 100,000 here, this is undoubtedly an exaggerated proportion.

According to El's "system", Constantinople (sometimes called Chang'an, sometimes called Kyoto, and sometimes El would temporarily change the name to Constantinye for COSplay) is his largest and most controlled lair, even surpassing the old "Norman" - "Rome" city.

Its radiation ability is also the most powerful. A barbarian from the grassland who had no impression of the four-armed god or sage before, after arriving in Constantinople, will become a devout believer in the "Holy Teacher", "Great Sage Teacher", or "Four-armed God, God Anu" in just one or two weeks.

And even after they leave the land of Thurso and essentially leave the spiritual influence range of the Aiel people, this devotion will remain, and may only decline or grow normally with various experiences.

It is equivalent to converting an unbeliever into a devout believer out of thin air!

Constantinople is the center of the nest network of the entire El clan in the Thurso area. El ordered his descendants to gather from all directions and turn important cities into "nests". As long as he is in any of the nodes, his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he can quickly obtain information and all conditions generated from other nests. In Constantinople, his increase is also the most obvious. Even if it is the former free city-state far west of Thurso and the Knight Kingdom of Caliban in the north, El's mind can sense there through the nest in a moment, and even use his psychic power to affect the local area from a distance. It is very terrifying and can be called a demigod.

It is located in the north, on the site of Kalvik, the former capital of the Kingdom of Blaeo, on a fertile plain where the Leisa River flows.

After all, it’s called this name, so it would be unreasonable to not have the Golden Horn Bay!
