The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Now, however, Melu acts as a kind of "big sister" to many people, taking care of them and encouraging other children along the way with Mia.

"My Goddess, look, look!"

Melu raised her hand and recited the incantation that Maginus had taught her. The power of faith in her spirit was drawn out, and a bright light slowly rose from the girl's hand, hanging above her head.

Merle mastered the magic of light even faster than Betty, and is now able to perform the trick.

That's to be expected, since Maginus granted her the authority to use the power of faith at will, and what hinders Melu's strength is actually her own capacity.

Maginus can now bestow divine magic upon Meru, though only upon her alone.

There are several ways for a priest to learn spells. One way is to be in harmony with the material plane. Simply put, by believing in the material plane itself, one can draw energy to complete spells.

The most common practice is still to believe in gods, who will bestow divine magic upon priests, just like Meru.

The latter is easier, since it has assistance.

"Very good, keep up the good work, don't let the other kids catch up, you're going to become a bishop."

"it is good!"

Melu responded by manipulating the light sphere, her attention focused on the sphere rotating in the air.

A cup of coffee was placed beside Maginus. Mira, dressed in a maid's outfit, lowered her head to face Maginus, who was looking over: "My lord, oh, Your Majesty, please enjoy your coffee."

Mira has officially begun learning various aspects of service and management from the butler and maids, preparing herself to serve Maginus in the future.

We're currently engaged in practical activities, but haven't officially graduated yet.

Among the believers who rushed over, Melu and Mira were the two children who were closest to Maginus and had spent the most time with him.

“Melu, as the bishop, plays a symbolic role, in charge of the children who have just joined the church, and is responsible for overall command; Mira is the maid, who needs to convey my words; Mia is in charge of assassinations and will clean up everything for me; Betty is in charge of the mage team and will help the army when necessary.”

"Oh right, there's also Neko. It's best if she operates independently and gathers information for me. I could make her the head of an intelligence department later."

Maginus muttered to herself, planning her own "private institution."

She is both a deity and a king, and she needs to carefully consider how to unite the nation and the church, but without allowing them to exert too much influence on each other.

After much thought, she realized that the church was a private organization that served "God" entirely. Therefore, she could combine it with the "King's" private organization.

They were only accountable to Maginus and remained outside the state system.

Chapter 500: They still dare to send people?

As long as they were neutral before, and did not resist when she attacked, the lord of this place would not be completely wiped out.

Adhering to this policy, Maginus's army swiftly occupied the lands of Nesser.

Through battle after battle, the soldiers, who had sufficient food and pay and were disciplined by orders, were honed and are now very accustomed to obeying commands. When they breach a city, they are very conscious of not disturbing the civilians.

In just a year and a half, Maginus had reclaimed most of the territory, and the only remaining threat to her progress was the capital's army.

"Does the army in the capital have no intention of making a move?"

After a long absence, Maginus held a morning meeting with his noble officials. Looking at their dazed expressions, he asked them his usual question. The officer in charge of espionage stepped forward:

"Your Majesty, they still haven't made any move and don't seem to intend to hinder our actions."

"If you ask me, we should strike at the heart of the enemy. If Ebes is plotting some wicked scheme, attacking now will distract him from fighting back."

“The problem is, we don’t have many high-end combatants,” many people disagreed with the former’s suggestion. “His Majesty Maginus still has to deal with that legend, and there are only five mid-level fighters. How can that be enough?”

The people below continued to argue, but Magnius, sitting on the throne, did not interrupt. He stroked his chin, also wondering what Ebes was planning.

For over a year, he hasn't taken any action against her. Even if he was just going to pretend, he should have attacked her territory a few times.

The fact that they are standing still like this is very unusual. It's less that they don't want to fight, and more that the army can't spare the time.

"Is there any situation inside the capital that requires the army to guard it and ensure that no problems arise?"

Instead of racking his brains, Maginus decided to send someone to investigate. He asked his officials, "Do you have any recommendations for someone who can infiltrate the capital to gather intelligence?"

"Well, Your Majesty, getting into the capital is easy. My men have already gone in, but they haven't noticed anything unusual."

Fearing that Maginus would think he was useless, the leader in charge of reconnaissance quickly defended himself: "It is really difficult to enter the palace to investigate; the surrounding defenses are too tight."

"So there's no one here. Oh well, let's leave it at that for today. Everyone should just do their own thing and move forward steadily."

"Yes."

After dismissing the morning meeting, Maginus returned to her study, pressed her hand to her brow, and called out to Neko. She, who had been out playing outside, quickly jumped in through the window.

"what happened?"

Turning to gaze at his cat, Maginus beckoned her to his lap and inquired about her current strength: "What techniques have you learned so far?"

"Hmm, Concealment, Wall-climbing, Speed ​​of thought, Psionic Ability: Penetration Amplification..."

As she recounted the techniques with great familiarity, Maginus made a decision: "I have an important task for you. If you fail, remember to run away as soon as possible. I will leave you some backup plans."

"It's finally my turn! Master, you've finally let me go out alone!"

Neko turned around happily, and Maginus raised his hand and touched her forehead, infusing her with more life force, and began to patiently instruct her:

“I will have Rachel give you a few more Transfiguration scrolls. Once you get to the capital, remember to maintain your disguise the whole time. If your disguise is broken, they will be able to confirm your identity very quickly.”

"Okay~."

He took out a few crystals from the drawer and stuffed them into Neko's hand: "When we get to the capital, bury these, but keep one in your hand."

After giving her detailed instructions, Maginus released Neko's hand and watched her leave. Her hurried footsteps reached the door, and after a moment's pause, she knocked.

"Come in."

"It's terrible, Your Majesty!"

Mira, who was serving as his personal maid, opened the door and said anxiously, "A messenger from the Kingdom of Julan has come to see you. He has important business to discuss with you. He says that Nizmor is preparing to send a very powerful army to besiege us!"

"Don't rush, please let the messenger in."

Maginus was completely unconcerned, and upon learning that Nizmol had sent troops, he chuckled softly.

She thought those guys would give her time to fully develop, but she couldn't resist in the end.

"I learned about this by chance. When I was talking to a lady who had been in Nizmore for a long time, she said that the local lord was acting strangely. He was gathering an army, and judging from the food and the size of the troops, it seemed that he was going to launch an expedition."

In the mirror carried by the messenger, the face of Queen Khesia Emma of the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum appeared above, and she spoke with Maginus through magic.

“There is currently a fierce struggle among the royal heirs in Nizmore. They haven’t had any conflicts with any small countries recently, which has aroused my suspicion. I tried to make a prediction and found that it is related to you, so I am informing you of this.”

Kshia casually explained why she had sent people before, but since she had made a prophecy, she must have paid a heavy price.

"Thanks, I'll repay the favor later," Maginus nodded slightly. "Do you know which lord is planning to make a move?"

"The intelligence has been included in the mirror's package. What do you plan to do?"

The half-elf queen tilted her head back, and Maginus picked up the other letters in the package, flipped through them, and casually explained the solution:

“What else can I do? I don’t want to wipe out another army and attract the attention of the Church of the Good God. Of course, I’ll go and cause trouble in the area and make that lord take back the army he was going to send.”

She already had a plan: Neko would go to the capital to find out what Ebes was doing, and Maginus would have to leave the palace for a while to go to the territory of the lord of Nizmol who was about to send troops.

Whether it causes panic or leads to massacres, the troops that were originally to be dispatched will definitely be bogged down.

As for the lord forcibly sending troops over?

Unless he wants his city to be destroyed, this is impossible.

"It's good that you have a solution, so I don't have to worry."

Kercia chuckled softly, and Maginus asked her with concern, "What about you? Is there anything I can help you with? The dark elves really haven't bothered the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum again, have they?"

"No, there's still a small group of spies trying to disrupt the country. If you want to help, Maggie, could you make me a device that can detect dark elves?"

"You can give it a try, but it's best not to have too high expectations."

The dilemma facing Kxia is simply that it is difficult to find the dark elves hiding among the people.

If Maginus were in Chrysanthemum Kingdom, it would be easy to handle, but asking her to make a device that could identify dark elves would be a bit of a stretch; we'd still need to discuss it with Rachel.

Chapter 501 Volcanic Territory

About half a month later, Kxia received a package from Maginus. Inside were more than a dozen scarlet pendants, which were unremarkable and had no magical fluctuations whatsoever.

Sensing the psychic energy fluctuations that were so different from magic, Kxia took out the crystal pendant and unfolded the small piece of paper in the box, which contained very detailed instructions on how to use it.

It's very simple. The pendant will glow as soon as it gets close to a drow elf. Once it's placed on a drow elf, it will directly cause a burn effect, which is easy to see.

However, they might also possess some confusing magical abilities. Maginus's advice is to lock them up as soon as you capture them, and then use Dispel Magic and Anti-Magic Field to verify their identities one by one. These two spells are not deceiving.

Having obtained the important magical artifacts, Xyz, who trusted Maginus completely, immediately began experimenting with them.

The results were excellent. She had her personal guards enter other nobles' manors or villas under the guise of a search, and they actually found three or four drow elves who had replaced their servants.

They didn't even know how they were discovered. The guards didn't put the pendants on the drow, but instead hid them in their sleeves to feel their vibrations and warmth.

Having confirmed that the pendant was indeed effective, Kxia did not send Maginus the disposable communication device, but instead chose to write a thank-you letter.

It will probably take some time for the letter to reach the Windward Territory; we should be able to see it once Maginus has finished dealing with it.

"I wonder how things are going on her end. Ha, no, we should be worried about the order in Nizmore, not her."

The thought of worrying about Maginus's safety made Kxia laugh. A maid knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince is causing trouble again."

"Okay, I'll be there."

Having finally resolved her worries, Kishia had some free time. She went into the bedroom, picked up her child, and gently rocked him to sleep.

Meanwhile, Maginus had already arrived in Nizmore. As for why she arrived so quickly, she certainly didn't come alone.

"It's more accurate than I expected. I was originally prepared to have my whole body engraved with the mark (溜氵亻尔冷齐: The four dams are in the tree).

"You have to trust my calculation ability. I may not be good at other things, but for teleportation, which requires calculation to go to places I've never been before, I can still guarantee the accuracy."

Rachel, wearing little boots, walked closely beside Maginus.

As a book spirit, she came along, mainly to provide Maginos with some magical support. Putting aside her strength, her convenience was definitely top-notch.

Now, Magnis doesn't want to compromise herself on mundane matters; even if she's on an adventure, she wants to enjoy it to the fullest.

Using teleportation magic, Maginus and Rachel fell from the sky to Nizmore. The two arrived in the wilderness, checked their direction and environment, and confirmed that they were not too far from the city. They then summoned a magical carriage and headed towards their destination.

The place we're going to is called Volcanic Territory, a famous territory in Nizmoir, famous for its unique attractions.

As the name suggests, there is a dormant volcano in the territory, which has not been awakened for more than a hundred years and could erupt at any time.

As for the capital of Nizmol...

It was still very dangerous for Maginus there, with at least three legends in the area. Before she had fully grown her power, she was not prepared to risk going to the capital, even if her enemies were there.

Three days later, Maginus spotted a "flat-topped mountain" and knew he had arrived at his destination, or at least entered the territory of the volcano.

Rachel, who was flipping through the spellbook, suddenly stopped and reported to Maginus without looking up: "Master, something is approaching."

"I've noticed it; I haven't seen any local endemic species yet."

Somewhat curious, Maginus jumped off the vehicle. The oppressive aura went unnoticed by the smaller creatures that approached, who simply assumed Maginus and Rachel were lone travelers.

In the sky, several vultures swooped down, their target Maginus in the wasteland. She looked up at the ugly birds, and without even squeezing her right hand, she used her psionic powers to interfere with their blood.

Several vultures immediately fell to the ground. She went over and picked them up, while Rachel came over to provide information:

"Volcanic slugs usually live in groups of three to five. They inhabit volcanic areas, eat volcanic rocks, and like to hunt at night. Once the number of prey they consider to be prey increases, they will immediately abandon the target."

After absorbing the life force and tasting it, Maginus's eyes lit up. The life force of this creature was quite delicious, and it gave a warm feeling when eaten.

She decided to grill the remaining few to satisfy her cravings.

"Is there any way to cook it?"

"They need to be pressure cooked, or simply baked, as they are very heat-resistant."

Rachel Bertie started explaining seriously, smacking her lips as if she really wanted to know what it tasted like.

The girl, as a book spirit, is also a living being. Since she is modeled after Maginus's body, she also has a sense of taste and can taste the quality of food. However, she can control what she tastes.

……

As night deepened, Maginus was surrounded by many creatures, some of which were quite strange in appearance, and there were even some arthropods.

She accepted all comers without hesitation, quickly removing any offal or venom that might affect the taste and texture, and started grilling them on the spot. The flames and the smell of blood made many other creatures watch from a distance, but they no longer dared to approach.

There was no other way; the old guys were all killed one by one, and they realized that those two were not to be trifled with.

“A carriage is coming.”
