Ebes has the advantage in terms of the number of high-ranking mages, however, the legendary mage he hired said that when the capital enters a life-or-death battle, he will only try to intimidate Maginus.

If Maginus hadn't been intimidated and insisted on taking action, the legendary mage would never have clashed with her; instead, he would have left.

Therefore, the final result will only be four high-level enemies fighting Maginus.

At this time, Maginus was unaware of this, but she knew she couldn't just wait for Ebes to mass-produce troops; she needed to enlist some powerful allies.

Sitting at her desk writing letters, Maginus handed one of them to Neco:

“Neko, go to Redbird City and give the letter to the brother and sister.”

Then she gave Mia another letter, asking her to go to the ancient tree spirit forest.

The ancient tree of wisdom said that she was destined to meet it, and perhaps she could indeed receive some help.

Rachel opened a portal and sent the two away. Maginus's gaze had already followed the advancing army into the wilderness, where she looked towards her home, which was no longer far away.

Chapter 522 Asking for Help

"Hey, you two! Long time no see, meow!"

On a sunny day, Yue Liang and Yue Qian were teaching a small number of students in their small courtyard as usual when a voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, rang out at the door.

Neko, whose appearance had not changed and was still similar to that of several years ago, greeted the two while wearing a cloak. Her temperament was quite different from when she was closer to a wild beast.

The siblings' temperament and appearance have changed significantly.

Yue Liang grew to 1.85 meters tall. His original shoulder-length hair had grown to his chest and was draped behind him, giving him an ethereal quality. His original sharpness had been completely concealed, and he looked like a sword that had not yet been drawn.

Yueqian is a bit short, standing at 1.67 meters tall. She wears a single ponytail and a complicated hairstyle, with the ends of her white hair, which reaches her waist, displaying a variety of colors.

Her aura was the complete opposite of her brother's; it was constantly spreading and full of aggression.

Most importantly, their strength is growing rapidly, and they seem to be not far from the advanced level, much faster than Neko.

"Wow……"

Having witnessed the strength of the two, Nei Ke couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Neko? What brings you here? How have you been lately?"

Yueqian stepped forward and hugged the girl, while Yueliang merely raised an eyebrow and continued to sit on the futon drinking tea.

Although several years have passed, Maginus, as a figure who stirs up trouble, still receives news from time to time while they are in seclusion in Cardinal City.

"Not bad. My master is about to reclaim her kingdom. I don't know why she asked me to come to you. She probably hopes you can help her. Here is a letter from her."

Yueqian took the formal envelope, read it through herself, and handed it to Yueliang. Neike waved her hand and said:

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. Please remember to reply, or you can come directly to me."

Watching the cat disappear into the distance, Yueqian turned her gaze away and sat down next to her older brother, twirling a strand of her hair between her fingers:

"Brother, what do you think?"

As expected, aside from the pleasantries, the letter contained Maginus's sincere invitation for the two to join her kingdom as powerful warriors, even if it was just a temporary arrangement, with terms that could be negotiated.

"After so much meditation, I feel that my skills have basically reached a bottleneck, so it's good to go out and get some exercise."

Yue Liang grabbed a handful of millet and fed it to the sparrows hopping around in the courtyard. Sharp-witted Yue Qian thought the same thing, drew her long sword from her waist, and lightly flicked the blade.

"I wonder what the cities under Maginus's control are like. Logically speaking, as the Goddess of Slaughter, she should be a tyrant."

Yue Liang continued, his expression somewhat melancholy. Seeing this, Yue Qian couldn't help but shake her head.

"You're not thinking of trying to kill her, are you?"

"Ha, I'm not that stupid. I'm just going to investigate. If Maginus's rule isn't very good, we'd better not help."

Yue Liang smiled and said to the students who were wielding swords in the garden, "Children, come here quickly."

In any case, if we're going to Nesery, we need to take care of things in Red Sparrow City first.

In the ancient tree spirit forest, Mia stood on the outskirts, looking around. After entering the forest, she whispered:

"Is there a tree spirit here? I have been sent by Maginus Imperius to see the great ancient tree of wisdom. May I trouble you to lead the way?"

The sound was very soft, but Maginus had told her that the surrounding flowers, plants and trees were the eyes and ears of the tree spirits, so there was no need to worry that the beings inside could not hear it.

Standing in a safe, open space as usual, Mia didn't notice a strand of green hair hanging by her ear, its curious gaze observing her from top to bottom.

"Lei, you've run out again."

"I'm just curious. I want to see the outside world and the people there."

The sound in her ear startled Mia so much that she almost raised her weapon. Resisting the urge to act, she turned to look at the sky above her.

The beautiful girl with pale green skin waved to Mia as a greeting, then disappeared into the trees.

"Visitor from afar, please follow me," a tree spirit appeared not far away and reached out to invite Mia, "The Ancient Tree of Wisdom invites you to come over."

As they followed the tree spirit deeper into the forest, more and more eyes were drawn to Mia. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers and looked around.

Many tree spirits gathered in this forest. Not only them, but the trees also seemed to be alive. There were also little fairies peeking from the shadows. Some fairies tried to get closer, but then covered their noses and ran away.

Confused, Mia raised her sleeve and sniffed it. The tree spirit leading the way explained the situation to her.

"What they dislike is the shadowy element in you, not you as a person."

Mia remained silent the whole way, and soon saw the enormous ancient tree. She respectfully handed the envelope in her hand to the tree spirit in front of her.

The letter was very formal, and the text was written in the Wood Tribe language by Maginus. The tree spirit raised his hand to touch the magical text, then stuck it on the ancient tree and closed his eyes to communicate.

About four or five seconds later, the tree spirit that had touched the ancient tree opened its eyes and called out to the others deep in the forest:

"Lei, Mei, Xi Ya..."

Five tree spirits and three fairies gathered around Mia, and the tree spirit leading the way nodded slightly to the stunned girl:

"These are the people we can send out from the forest; we hope they can be of help."

"Huh? What do you mean by sending us out?"

Some of the lively tree spirit girls raised their hands, and the guide glanced at the little guy:

"You, you've always wanted to go out and see the world, haven't you? This is your chance to go to a kingdom called Nesery."

Upon hearing this, Mia understood that the Tree Spirit Forest was willing to help their goddess by sending these eight seemingly weak helpers.

As for whether they were powerful or not, Mia didn't perceive any threat from the tree spirit or the fairy lady in front of her.

Regardless, she had successfully requested help. Whether the people sent by the Tree Spirit Forest to assist her were strong or not was not something Mia could control.

After the tree spirits finished talking, the little fairies stuffed their noses with flower petals, came to Mia's side, greeted her in a muffled voice, and asked very curiously what the outside world was like.

As spirit-like beings, they may never leave their birthplace in their entire lives, and their impressions of the outside world are mostly based on what they hear from older tree spirits and tree people.

Unlike older, more lifeless beings, these young women yearn for the outside world.

Fortunately, the tree spirits had already finished preparing to deal with the enthusiastic little fairies and had solved the problem of their inability to move by using the Traveling Acorn. The group followed Mia, all of them smiling happily.

"I'm counting on you now, Miss Mia."

Looking at the beautiful women in front of her, Mia suddenly felt that the journey back might not be so smooth. She closed her eyes and asked Maginus for instructions. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Maginus would open the portal.

Chapter 523 Time is drawing to a close

"Hmm? I didn't expect the Treant Forest to set off first."

Busy with political affairs, Maginus received the message from Mia, determined her coordinates, raised her hand to cast a teleportation spell, and a blue portal appeared in front of her.

Mia walked over first, and several tree spirits and fairies with different temperaments crossed the portal and curiously looked around the study.

When they spotted Maginus sitting at the desk, everyone tensed up and became incredibly reserved. The little fairies hid behind the tree spirit, not daring to show their faces.

As beings of spirits, tree spirits and fairies could sense the immense, restrained power flowing within her, rather than just a superficial, overwhelming pressure.

Sitting before them were beings of a higher level of existence, inspiring awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, get up."

Having roughly grasped the situation, Maginus tapped her finger on the table and gently urged them to get up.

The tree spirits and fairies rose in fear and trepidation, and the leader whispered:

“Great being, is there anything we can help you with? By the way, we who were sent by the ancient tree are all mid-level, so we should be able to play a significant role.”

"No need to rush. You can find a place in the castle to settle down temporarily. Someone will talk to you then."

The inequality between the two sides made it difficult for Maginus to learn the true needs from the tree spirits. She didn't want to use her own power to oppress those on her side, so she planned to hand over the negotiation to Mira.

Once they were far away from Maginus, the tree spirit and the fairy breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Mia excitedly, asking:

"Miss Mia, why don't you say that His Majesty is such a great being!"

After years of accumulating faith power and using the means of hunting down divine children to plunder divinity, Maginus is now seen by the tree spirits as having transcended the realm of divine children and entered the lowest level of "gods".

"Didn't your elders say anything? Well, I'll tell you before my sister arrives."

Since there were no plans to exercise today, Mia strolled around the castle garden with the tree spirit fairy, looking for a suitable place to plant her true form, while explaining why Maginus was both a god and a king.

A god who hasn't broken through to the legendary level yet... Hmm, that sounds a bit funny, but gods can't be classified according to the strength level of mortals.

Maginus, who hadn't paid much attention to her own strength recently, listened to their conversation and once again felt a sense of her own inner self.

The surging spiritual energy and life force within him were like a tidal wave; if released in its entirety, it could probably completely engulf the entire city.

Its volume is three times larger than the original Blood Lake, not to mention that the quality of its life force is also higher than when it first appeared a few years ago.

With each breath, the magic in the air continued to transform into life force, accumulating and expanding Maginus's potential.

"Phew, it will take another two months for the essence of life to be fully upgraded. I guess I'll be considered a legend by then."

Maginus murmured to herself, the increase in divinity completely raising her limits. The bottlenecks that other high-level beings struggled to overcome were no longer a problem for her.

Becoming a legend is a natural progression, and judging by the timeline, the divine abilities she is developing will be fully realized as she enters the legendary realm.

"Two months? Very good. By then, some hidden enemies will probably make their appearance and join one of the acts of my grand revenge drama."

Full of anticipation for that day, Maginus gazed at the political affairs before her, concentrated intently on handling them, and then entered a meditative state.

……

About two days later, Neko also sent a message saying that Yue Liang and Yue Qian were ready. Maginus opened the portal, but this time he was careful and opened the door outside the study.

After passing through the portal, Yueqian, who was very sensitive to changes in space, no longer felt dizzy. The two steadied themselves and looked at the study in front of them, feeling slightly nervous.

Their powerful senses told them that there was an extremely powerful being inside.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Neike waited outside. The brother and sister were amazed when they saw the drastically changed Maginus. Yueliang coughed and lowered his head.

"Should we address you as Your Majesty, or...?"

"You can call me Maginus in private, but please call me Your Majesty in front of others, my friend."

When Maginus faced her old friends again, she felt a strange mix of emotions. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she really had very few friends. At most, she only had Kercia and the two people in front of her.

"Then, dear Miss Maginus, regarding the payment and such..."

Yue Liang's appearance reveals a greedy nature, which is somewhat inconsistent with his previous demeanor.

Maginus chuckled, sensing their lingering doubts, and said directly:

“Go and have a long talk with my maid; she can speak on my behalf.”

"I suppose you haven't made up your minds to help me yet. Why don't you take a look at Shelterhold first, and then make a decision?"

"In short, welcome to our place, Yue Liang and Yue Qian."

Having met the people he had invited, Maginus completely secluded himself in his study, officially entering a state of seclusion to prepare for the battle two months later.

Only Mila could see her each day; even Neko had to stay outside.

Everyone realized that a storm was brewing, and the entire sheltered territory was affected by Maginus's attitude, making the atmosphere tense and oppressive.

Far away in Heman City, the army was stationed outside the city, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive.

Maginus made no attempt to conceal her intentions, revealing them quite clearly.

She was determined to have a final showdown with Ebeslut.

Realizing this, the spies within Nesery sent out intelligence, causing a stir among the forces hostile to Maginus. They were very anxious but had few options.

Their territory was also in turmoil, with various monsters and natural disasters emerging one after another. They couldn't spare any troops to cause trouble for Maginus, and even legends couldn't persuade them to stay.
