The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Maginus reached out and stroked Mira's cheek; time was indeed an issue for them.

There's so much to learn, but if you take away from eating, sleeping, and entertainment, there aren't actually that many opportunities left to exercise.

We need to find a way to utilize their sleep time, perhaps by letting the little ones learn in their dreams?

But wouldn't that be a bit too cruel? When you're awake, you're busy, and when you're asleep, you don't have any time for yourself.

However, I am a cruel person by nature, so I might as well exploit these children as much as possible, which is also to help them grow up faster.

Having decided to control the sleep and dreams of her followers, Maginus calmly sent Mira to deliver a message, closing her eyes to divert her attention to Mia.

Everyone is working very hard right now, but Mia is the hardest working. She is at the prime of her life, while the other children need enough sleep to allow their bodies and souls to continue to grow until they are perfect.

Mia's two genitals are already mature, so she sleeps very little and her sleep schedule is even reversed.

She was currently fighting several other stalkers, wielding a wooden dagger smeared with paint. Leaving red paint on a fatal spot meant defeat.

She doesn't just fight rogues; she also seeks out warriors or spellcasters, and even informs them in advance that she's coming, like Joseph and Ron.

This was also at Maginus's behest; assassination was a must, as others didn't have Maginus's tenacious vitality.

Even Joseph, as a mid-level fighter, might live for a few minutes if his throat was slit, but in the end, death would still await him.

Believe it or not, Mia, who is drawn to darkness and shadows, actually managed to get within a meter of Joseph several times, leaving red paint on his back near his heart.

If Mia were holding a real weapon, even if Joseph were able to kill Mia, he himself would die.

In short, assassinations must be guarded against, and this can be seen as advance training for these important figures.

As for launching an assassination drill without saying a word, Maginus repeatedly explained to everyone that she would not do such a thing. If an assassin really came to her door, it would be troublesome if she made a mistake.

In the stillness of the night, the believers went to bed early. These children had their own rooms, and some of them didn't like to sleep alone and would find other companions to sleep with.

And today, they had the exact same dream.

"It looks like it was successful."

In the dream world, Maginus pulls on the threads of faith, trying to project the children's consciousness here so that they can dream that they are training. In simple terms, it is similar to how gods let believers feel divine revelation in their dreams.

The effect was quite good. Maginus easily pulled them in, at close range without much effort. The next step was to create a training subject for these little ones to practice on.

A large number of goblins and kobolds? They definitely wouldn't be able to handle a large-scale battle; it would just be a matter of who survives the longest, which would contradict the goal of training their skills.

A single gnoll is a good idea; keep it as a backup.

Recalling the battles they had experienced in the past, Maginus decided to continue using humanoid creatures as the subjects for honing their combat skills.

"Strange, where am I?"

On the other side, the girls who had lucid dreams were very confused, not knowing where they were, and could only move forward cautiously.

A cool breeze blew across the grassland as they drew weapons that had inexplicably appeared at their waists and looked around.

The next second, a shadow gathered in front of everyone and quickly took on a concrete form, either a faceless, strong man or a faceless, alluring woman.

The sudden appearance of the monster frightened many people, and they reacted in various ways.

Some rushed forward to launch an attack immediately, trying to take them out before the other side could make a move, while others tentatively threw stones or mud to see what the situation was.

Before the believers could think too much, the shadowy figure opposite them moved. The woman took out a long whip and lashed it, while the man's body jolted and he charged forward.

The chaotic battle unfolded in Maginos's mental dream, where she quietly observed the girls' performance, preparing to make things more difficult for the victors.

These two figures... Maginus remembered killing them back in Riverrun, when she was still very weak, not much different from the children.

Since they were able to defeat them, some of them also had the opportunity to defeat these two enemies.

Chapter 509 Simulation Departure

"Ah~, Your Majesty, the intelligence you requested has arrived. There are indeed signs of the appearance of the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear in various places."

"Some of them had even taken control of a city, but because they were too arrogant, the Light of No End quickly sent people to deal with that Slaughter God Child."

Mira, yawning, reported to Maginus that she hadn't been sleeping well at night lately, apparently because she was having very tiring dreams.

I was actually already awake, but subconsciously I felt very tired.

"Now that chaos is breaking out everywhere, is the Church of Benevolent God getting busier and busier?"

"Yes, they are also a bit overwhelmed. The mainland is too chaotic right now, and the church is not sure whether the chaos is a normal occurrence at the national level or caused by the intervention of certain evil forces."

Listening to the maid's report, Maginus looked at the map in front of her and chose her next destination.

The map marked cities where it seemed a divine child was causing trouble, and she planned to visit them one by one.

With a flick of her wrist, Maginus "accidentally" pushed the teacup off the table. Mira instinctively reached out and caught the falling teacup, spilling a few drops of tea.

She was startled by her own reaction, clapped her hands, and wondered when her reaction had become stronger.

Mira's reaction and performance pleased Maginus greatly. The dream training allowed them to make more effective use of their existing abilities and attributes.

She didn't enhance the believers' bodies in any way; she simply gave the girls practical combat experience.

"Hmm, let's choose this place."

After randomly selecting a city where the Child of Fear might have appeared, Maginus asked Mira to help prepare the necessary supplies, including food, funds, and clothing.

Of course, it wasn't him going; Maginus had to stay at the Windward Territory, the main base, to prevent a surprise attack from a powerful enemy.

What she sent was a new version of the Blood Puppet, or rather, it couldn't be called a Blood Puppet. The clone she was preparing to send out was closer to a simulation technique, the kind that Red Sparrow City controlled itself.

Maginus's current clones have been upgraded with improved manufacturing technology, which not only extends the control range but also greatly enhances their ease of manipulation.

The new clone employs techniques of controlling and contracting enemy officers. Each of the eight internal clones has a separate core, allowing Maginus to manipulate it through threads of faith.

Therefore, its weakness is that destroying the core can completely destroy it, similar to the Blood Puppet. However, Maginus is better than the Blood Puppet because it can control the movement of the core, causing it to effectively evade attacks.

Compared to its main body, its biggest shortcoming is its insufficient perception ability. Life perception cannot be applied to the clone. Maginus cannot yet allow the clone to receive the reaction transmitted back by the perception of life fluctuations and then transmit the reaction to itself from thousands of miles away.

The greatest advantage of a clone is that it can grow on its own. The life force it gains is completely real, and its upper limit of strength is about half that of the original body.

Furthermore, it is not affected by dispelling magic, and there are no control issues when it is in an anti-magic field.

Leaving the study, Maginus went to the library. Rachel saw her and opened the glass case next to her. The adjusted scarlet crystal flew into Maginus's hand.

"Adjustment complete, Master. I can try adding your life crystals to the pseudo-lock as well. This way, you can influence certain vital forces within the lock by activating the crystals."

"That sounds great. I don't have that much time, so I'll leave the research to you."

"it is good."

With a severe shortage of spellcasters, Rachel Bert was responsible for all the work related to the Maze Lock. This initial construction of a pseudo-Maze Lock served as a way to accumulate experience for the formal completion of the Maze Lock in the future.

It's already halfway done. Maginos has lowered his requirements again and again, from the original city area to just covering the palace and the surrounding area. It should be completed in about a month.

The only pity is that, according to the current progress of the attack, once the maze is completed, she will move back to the capital in less than two years, and then it will have to be rebuilt.

Maginus threw the specially made life crystal into the air, and the life force quickly shaped it into her body.

A dashing young woman with short purple hair and red-dyed ends appeared, resembling Lenia 70% and Maginus 30% in appearance.

Maginus rubbed her clone's cheek, adjusting to the unusual perspective, and without turning her head, asked Rachel a question that had suddenly occurred to her:

"Rachel, what are the chances of me having a child through bloodline in the future?"

Bloodline conception is a special version of pregnancy magic. The effect of pregnancy magic is to allow a baby's body to be conceived within a person's body and to guide a newborn soul into the body.

Children conceived in this way only have the bloodline of the person who conceived them.

Bloodline conception, on the other hand, involves combining the properties of two people's blood to create a baby's body, thus resolving bloodline issues.

Incidentally, both spells can be used on men, provided that the man affected by the spell has reproductive organs.

On the continent of Knoil, gender is no longer a matter of having children for spellcasters; as long as they are strong enough, they have many choices.

Of course, it can't be too strong either, as a powerful bloodline would make conception more difficult, which is what Maginus was worried about.

"It's not high. Your life essence is no longer human, so it's very difficult for you to have a biological child with someone."

"...Never mind, let it be."

Maginus shook her head, no longer thinking about the future, and asked Rachel to help send the clone out.

Passing through the portal, a purple-haired girl in a brightly colored robe descended from the sky, spreading her dragon wings as she landed, scanning her surroundings to confirm her location.

The city we're heading to is called Moan. It's been plagued by undead creatures lately, and the local church has tried many methods to get rid of them, but to no avail. It seems like a lich's scheme, or perhaps a plan by the God of Fear.

Maginus's clone naturally had a backstory set up; her name was Leona, a wandering mage with black dragon blood, as evidenced by the black scales at the corners of her eyes.

We came here to collect materials left behind by undead creatures after they die; the materials they drop are extremely valuable to spellcasters.

"Alright, let's see how things go."

Maginus coughed a few times and smiled as he walked step by step toward the city. Although it was broad daylight, dark clouds lingered over the city for a long time.

A common sign of accumulated negative energy is that there is definitely a problem in the city.

Upon arriving at the city gate, the soldiers all had red eyes, droopy eyelids, and dark circles around their eyes, clearly indicating that they hadn't slept well for the past few days.

Chapter 510 Ruthless People

Using her identity as a spellcaster and the pretext of dealing with undead creatures, Maginus was quickly released.

The streets were filled with anxious and fearful people, living in dire straits. No one knew whether they would see the sun rise the next day after they fell asleep.

Raising her wand, Maginus intended to finish the battle quickly. Without the Killing God here, she didn't want to waste her time on anything else.

A bloody hunt fueled by divine abilities!

The original hunting perception had been altered by Maginus not long ago, and the upgrade was successfully completed.

It can lock onto the creature that Maginus wants to track, with an application distance lower than that of life perception, and can only find the target she selects. The advantage is that the simulacrum can also transmit the corresponding perception.

A subtle fluctuation emanated from Maginus and spread in all directions. She paused slightly and turned her gaze to a spot not far away.

"Very good, the intelligence was correct, there is indeed a God of Fear."

The bloody hunt had already helped her lock onto her prey, and a crimson dot appeared in her eyes.

Maginos strode toward her target location and finally stopped in front of a mansion. To her surprise, the mansion emanated a warm light, and the magic made her feel comfortable. From the outside, there was nothing amiss.

The mansion is enveloped in positive energy, which can keep undead creatures away. However, theoretically, both the Fear God Child and the Slaughter God Child would hate positive energy just like her.

"Wow, impressive. To hide their identity, they endured the disgust and simply lived in a positive energy field."

A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and Maginos took out a silver coin and tossed it to the beggar beside him: "Sir, who lives here?"

The beggar, seeing the gleaming silver coin fall to the ground, hurriedly ran over, picked it up, wiped it a few times with his clothes, and then bent down to explain to Maginos:

"My lord wizard, Baron Rothal lives inside."

From the beggar, Maginos learned that the man living there was a great philanthropist who regularly gave food and money to the poor, and whose reputation among the people was exceptionally high.

He himself was also very weak, at least on the surface, and no one ever suspected him of causing trouble for the undead.

Well, here comes another one who disguises himself as a great philanthropist. But by disguising himself, he can do more things in secret without being discovered by the church.

Having figured out who she was dealing with, Maginus left the villa, found a hotel to stay in, and prepared to take action that very night.

She didn't have time to waste with the divine children; she had too many things to do and would never engage in idle chatter with these prey before making a move.

As night fell, Maginus waved her wand, chanted a spell, and cast an invisibility spell, disappearing into thin air. She then opened the window and jumped straight out of the inn.

At night, the streets are filled with even more negative energy, and every household keeps their doors and windows tightly shut, afraid that something might come in.

Maginos, who was walking along the road, also witnessed a very peculiar scene.

Undead creatures have taken to the streets.

The stench-filled zombies and skeletons clearly came from the sewers. They roamed the streets brazenly, not harming anyone, wandering aimlessly, seemingly looking for something.

Because they are too small, they did not break into other residents' houses. They probably couldn't even smell any life force. They would only react when people appeared in front of them.

The invisible Maginot returned to the front of the villa. Looking at the house enveloped in positive energy, she pondered for a moment and came up with a way to deal with it.

The flames lingered.

A nimble fireball appeared in Maginos's hand. She aimed at the villa and threw the fireball directly out, making no attempt to conceal her intentions.

After the muffled thud, the intense flames formed a spherical area on the villa's wall, and continued to expand, igniting everything around it.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

Exclamations came from inside the villa, and many servants in their pajamas ran out. Maginos watched the crimson light, which was also moving, and finally stepped out of the house with the servants.

When the real person appeared, Maginus saw the face of the Son of Fear clearly, and judging from his pajamas, he was indeed the Baron.

His appearance, which suggested he had kidney deficiency, was completely unlike that of an ordinary person sleeping amidst positive energy.
