The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

With genuine excitement in her voice, Maginus tapped her finger on the throne: "This is none of your business. Discuss state affairs. Is there anything important you need to tell me?"

Not getting the answer they wanted, everyone's thoughts wandered, but they still reported on the important events of the past week as originally planned.

After the morning meeting ended, Maginus did not let everyone leave. Instead, she pointed to Cosimoya of the Resource Development Department and said, "Cosimoya, the mines near Iron City are still being mined, right? Send more people over there."

"Your Majesty, hasn't the mineral deposit there already been exhausted?"

The elven druid was somewhat puzzled, then a sense of shock rose within him, and Maginus's next words made him even more certain: "There's another one! Just dig a little deeper and you'll see it. Send someone over."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Cosimoya readily agreed. The morning meeting had just ended, and he immediately rushed back to his office to contact his subordinates in Iron City via magic.

Greening, resource development, construction... in short, everything related to nature and the city is currently overseen by Cosimo, who is responsible for ensuring that urban development does not excessively damage nature.

Resource extraction is a problem. There are many small mineral veins in Nesery, but no large ones. This means that they have to destroy the environment to mine minerals, and then try to restore the environment after the minerals are mined out. It's a very complicated situation.

The words just spoken indicate that Maginus is certain there are more minerals in the Iron City Mountains, which was not the case during previous explorations. There is only one possibility: the true god has altered the local conditions.

If that's the case, that would be wonderful. The miners wouldn't need to move around so much, and naturally, they wouldn't be destroyed everywhere.

Communication with the Iron City was restored. Cosimoya ordered his men to immediately send mages to investigate the mines again. After careful consideration, he realized it wasn't safe, so he got up and went to the city guard post. He found the spatial teleportation array connecting to the city and teleported directly to the Iron City guard post.

He waved to the local officials and nobles, indicating that they did not need to receive him. With swift and decisive action, he followed a small group into the slightly dangerous mine. The miners were working in the safe zone, while the slaves and criminals were in the more dangerous area.

As they continued downwards, the mage cast a detection spell at the bottom, and after a moment, he opened his mouth in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Cosimo asked, already having guessed what was going on, and overjoyed.

The mage shook his head, pointing to the ground in disbelief: "How is this possible? I've already investigated, and there shouldn't be any more rich mineral deposits underground. But the spell tells me there's at least one more vein down there, and the magic is very strong, it seems there's even a magic mineral!"

"Quickly, start digging and try."

Cosimo gave the order and instructed everyone to call him immediately if they found any ore.

After glancing at the documents at the development department of the mining city, a short day passed in his waiting. Good news arrived in the early hours of the morning, and the minister was beaming with excitement:

"Sir, please come quickly!"

The swift-footed elven druid darted out, slipped into the cavern alone, and found the workers at the bottom of the mine.

The mine ahead was really short; he reached the bottom in just two or three minutes and saw a fluorescent glow he hadn't seen before, along with a massive amount of earth-attribute magic power, around the corner.

With a smile, Cosimoya was shocked. The mine was filled with various metallic minerals, crammed together, which did not seem to be naturally formed. It must have been created by some powerful force.

"Goddess above, Your Majesty above..."

Chapter 774 Divine Artifact Embryo

While dealing with the issue of mineral scarcity, the need to constantly search for and mine mineral veins, which damages a large area of ​​the environment and causes some friction between the Druids and the Development Department, Maginus, with nothing else to do, stayed by Lenia's side to ensure her safety.

The probability of a divine abomination being born is very low, but it is by no means zero. After all, this thing is an accidental product of the gods, which means that the gods cannot control its birth, or that they did not take care of it in the early stages of its birth, allowing it to completely become a divine abomination.

Raising her hand to soothe the embryo, she focused part of her attention on her two avatars. One was still harvesting divine children, while the other had gone to Jade City to check on the completion status of the divine artifact.

Inside the blazing furnace, the enormous greatsword and longsword had been transformed into a form perfectly suited for her to wield, radiating intense energy field fluctuations that seemed poised to utterly destroy the forging area at any moment.

Various terrifying metallic materials are fused together, and that's just the power from the weapon itself, not to mention the energy gems and jade that are about to be inlaid.

The dwarven blacksmiths were panting heavily, their eyes bloodshot. When Maginus, the true god, saw this, he slightly raised his hand, and their spirits were completely restored to their pre-forging state. Their bodies trembled involuntarily as they looked at their arms with surprise.

"Don't stop!"

The bishop, who was in charge, shouted, while some were still tapping the sword blades. The effect was not obvious, but some impurities did fall off. Some were engraving jade, intending to let them be fused together in the most perfect form.

The dwarf bishop approached Maginus. As the archbishop, he immediately noticed the change in Maginus and bowed his head as he looked at the incarnation whose face was becoming blurred: "Congratulations on becoming a true god."

"It's nothing, how much longer until it's finished?"

Maginus's attention was focused on the artifact's embryonic form. The bishop patted his chest and said, "It will be completely finished in just two days at most, after which we can carry out further refinement."

"Okay, then I'll stay here for the next couple of days and wait for you to finish."

Nodding, Maginos swung her legs on the lava bridge, lava occasionally falling onto her boots, only to be blocked by the energy field and cool down to fall as stone fragments.

The continuous clanging sounds combined to form a beautiful and powerful melody. The energy fields and energy fluctuations of the numerous materials also overlapped and merged with each other in this melody and with the thousands of strikes, forming a unified whole.

The bishop's eyes were filled with joy and pride. He was certain that this was the greatest masterpiece of the legendary artisans of Emerald City. In the future, when the dwarves from other regions met, the dwarves of Emerald City could proudly say that their country's artisans had participated in the creation of a high-level artifact.

Not to mention the legendary craftsmen themselves, forging divine artifacts is the dream of all legendary craftsmen. If they could encounter legendary dwarf craftsmen from other countries, they could proudly explain the situation.

The fluctuations grew stronger, and other legendary powerhouses sensed what was happening here, turning their gazes to it. The forging of the divine artifact embryo was public knowledge; everyone knew that the legendary craftsmen were forging it for a god.

Even knowing it was a request from a god, some people still cast greedy glances at the two weapons, wondering if they could steal them.

It's impossible before the forging is complete, as the weapon's energy is extremely unstable. If you reach out and touch it, you'll probably be swallowed by the blade. Once the forging is complete, the opportunity may come.

Feeling the gazes around her, Maginus sighed at the allure of wealth. She raised her hand and tapped lightly. The malicious onlookers seemed to sense it and turned their gazes to her. The next second, they all felt the imminent danger of death, and alarms kept popping up.

The spy disappeared, and she looked around at everything, feeling so peaceful.

That is a god, absolutely a god.

Realizing that the person in question was there, the observers dared not have any further thoughts and all disappeared into hiding.

Two days passed quickly, and the music filled the entire Jade City. Everyone was curious about what had happened on the mountain, but unfortunately, they couldn't go in.

Just as the dwarven bishop had predicted, the sword-making process had finally reached its final and most crucial step.

Without quenching, the jade craftsman took the jade he had forged and, disregarding the high temperature, pressed the red gemstone onto the hilt of the sword.

The energy fluctuations and force fields had already reached a consensus. Without any external interference, the gem melted and completely merged with the two swords.

Different gems were placed in different positions; some remained unchanged, while others turned into liquid and seeped into the metal. The temperature of the longsword gradually decreased. Without the craftsmen needing to forge the two embryos any further, they became sharper and sharper on their own, as if they had their own autonomous evolutionary consciousness.

"My lord, please make the final adjustments."

The craftsmen stepped back a few paces, signaling Maginus to complete the final step. The avatar thought for a moment, then disappeared before their eyes without moving. At the same moment it vanished, a shadow suddenly darted out, reaching out to grab one of the weapons.

Others launched attacks from afar, intending to kill first and then seize the treasure. Just as the dwarves were terrified that so many powerful figures had suddenly appeared and might take their weapons, and that they would incur the wrath of the gods...

Both the thief and the attacker were frozen in place.

Gazing at this bizarre situation, the dwarves swallowed hard, and an even more beautiful voice emanated from an open spatial rift: "Go further away."

The voice echoed in their minds. The bishop's eyes were filled with shock. He immediately ordered everyone to retreat further. Some of those who were restrained were filled with fear, still unaware of what had happened.

It doesn't seem like time stopping; it's more like a command spell, but there shouldn't be any spells that can command attacks!

The spatial rift widened, and the surroundings shattered. A jade hand shrouded in mist emerged from the rift, sensing its master's presence. Two divine artifact embryos emitted force fields to help stabilize the surrounding space.

Carefully transferring her main body to Emerald City, Maginus stepped out, leaving behind spatial cracks and distorted surroundings as her light body floated away.

"These guys are yours to deal with. If you want to unseal them, just press the recessed area."

With a slight twitch of her fingertips, the attack vanished, and the ones who had participated in the takeover were frozen inside the cube's body. Maginus didn't even glance at them.

Standing before his own weapon, K stretched out his hands, blood flowing out and into the weapon, along with Maginus's own divinity.

The death flowed to the greatsword, and the authority flowed to the longsword. The intensity of their surging force fields and their own temperatures were slowly decreasing. Maginus looked at them as if they were two limbs that had been extended from himself.

Chapter 775 The Path to Death, The Scepter of the Summit

Faced with two "limbs" that showed no signs of connection, Maginus immediately reached out and grasped them. The energy fluctuations and vibrations completely subsided, but the space around the greatsword and longsword began to distort.

"Very good, or rather, too good. This is indeed a divine artifact embryo. Thank you all."

As K spoke, death and authority permeated the weapon, creating patterns on the blade. Cracks appeared on the Death Greatsword, like open wounds, and blood dripped down, gathering at the tip of the sword and disappearing.

The scepter sword is more ornate, its shape has changed slightly, and it has transformed along with its scabbard into something more like a scepter. The golden gem at the top shines brightly, becoming even more pure.

Seeing the changes in both, the legendary craftsmen were extremely excited, recalling the state they were in when they forged the embryos of divine artifacts. Many of them had seen a significant improvement in their forging skills due to this collaborative smelting, and they would definitely be able to produce better equipment in the future.

"No need to thank us, it's what we should do, Your Majesty." The bishop, unable to contain his excitement, bowed to the weapon he had helped forge.

As long as Maginus lives, these two weapons will surely be remembered in history. K knew this too, and asked the blacksmiths for names: "Do you have any suggestions for the names of these two divine weapons?"

When asked about this, the dwarves became frightened and bowed their heads, saying, "We dare not name the two artifacts. The backlash from giving them real names is something we cannot bear. You must name them yourself."

Everything has a name. These are two embryonic divine artifacts, weapons crafted by numerous dwarves as a tribute to the gods. If they were to actually name them, their bodies and souls might be greatly affected.

The impact can be good or bad, and it mainly depends on the deity, but in most cases, they will be doomed because of the naming.

With a light flick of her wrist, leaving ripples in the air, Maginus hesitated for a moment before deciding on their names:

"In that case, the greatsword is called the Path of Death, and the longsword is called the Scepter of the Summit."

She has no talent for naming things. Enemies who see the greatsword are on the verge of death, while she intends to use the longsword for auxiliary attacks, leaving the control and balance to this weapon with higher magical power.

It's strange that a sword is called a scepter, but a long sword that resembles a ceremonial sword symbolizes authority, so there's nothing wrong with that.

The dwarves praised her naming talent, and after watching Maginus's true form completely depart, they excitedly parted ways with the other craftsmen without saying a word, rushing back to their workshops to begin recording their forging experience.

These records are helpful for the apprentices and even the forging techniques of the entire Jade City, but they are something that the legendary blacksmiths who forged divine artifacts in the past did not have.

Those who forged divine artifacts before them survived, but the weapons they created were not weapons used by the true gods. If it weren't for Maginus's help, most of the dwarven blacksmiths would have died after forging the artifact embryos, and naturally, they wouldn't have been able to pass on the techniques. Therefore, these things are basically unique.

Instead of returning to the palace, Maginus went directly to Bennia's residence in her true form, where several collection lamps in her room immediately lit up, heralding the arrival of the gods.

"Why is the real body here?"

She and Spette turned their heads curiously. The newborn snake girl rubbed her eyes. Nia had no intention of offending the gods and watched as K did not deliberately try to penetrate the mist.

“I want you to help me forge two divine weapons,” Maginus said, drawing his weapon from his divine realm and placing it before Nia, whose eyes were glowing. “If you can’t do it, you can give me some advice.”

"Quick, let me see!"

Nia lunged at the weapon, her hand trembling as she reached out to touch it. Only when she felt the terrifying force field fluctuations as her fingers approached did she calm down. She took out a large number of items from the demiplane, put them on, and covered her body with countless spells before daring to put her hand on it.

"Don't be so nervous, I can control it. Through a special forging method, they are actually part of my body."

“No,” Nia shook her head, her eyes filled with a desire to explore, “I would rather you release your control and feel the power of this artifact.”

"You're wrong. It's not a divine artifact, but a divine artifact embryo."

Maginus corrected her, pointed at Nia, then at the curious Speight, and after the two disappeared, she herself arrived near a mountain range.

By inserting the Path of Death and the Scepter of the Summit into the soil, Maginus released his control over them, and the force field fluctuations immediately intensified, causing the soil pierced by the longsword to undergo different changes.

The land beneath the Greatsword of Death is dying, and the area losing its vitality is gradually expanding, with everything from flowers and trees to insects falling into decay.

The creature beneath the scepter prostrated itself before the weapon, remaining motionless, its soul and body completely frozen in place.

Nia looked at the "horrific" scene with surprise.

This is just an embryo. If an embryo is this powerful, then imagine how powerful it will be when inscribed with a powerful incantation, not to mention that Maginus can also infuse it with divine power.

"A divine artifact used by the gods! In all my long life, this is truly the first time I have ever seen one."

The legendary mage Bennia, whose lifespan was unknown, sighed. She had naturally seen artifacts, but most of them were "items that gods might have used," "ordinary items used by gods," "artificially crafted equipment," or "powerful equipment of quasi-gods, demigods, and pseudo-gods."

These things are also called divine artifacts. There is a high wall between second-class and high-class divine artifacts, but the gap between high-class divine artifacts may be greater than the gap between the lowest-class and second-class divine artifacts.

There are many examples, which is why she made thorough preparations, fearing that she would be instantly killed by the artifact embryo.

She was fully prepared and stretched out her hands. As her fingertips touched the weapons, their effects were activated.

The defense worked. The snake-woman knelt on the ground, her soul and thoughts began to stagnate, and her body inevitably began to weaken. In fact, she, who could live to the end of time, had white hair and wrinkles on her head.

Even worse was her soul; she inevitably developed the desire to die and was unable to resist the approach of death.

This was the result even with layers upon layers of magical defense; if it were actually struck, no mortal would survive.

Maginus withdrew his power and infused Nia, who was risking her life, with the power of faith, thus reversing her fate. The serpent man, as if electrocuted, withdrew his hands in shock, and a long-lost fear returned to his heart.

"Only a god can fight against them!"

Benia said with certainty, but Maginus disagreed: "That's obvious. I create weapons to fight against the gods, not legends."

Chapter 776 Spell Selection

Suppressing her emotions with reason, Nia rubbed her temples and said, "Where can I engrave magic on your weapon? I know some powerful magic that might be useful to you, but I guess you'll have to do the engraving yourself."

"Come with me to the Kingdom of God. Let me explain what is going on. As a newly born god, I am not like other true gods. I still have to explore and figure things out."

Maginus pointed at Spette, who had been watching from the sidelines and was now supporting Nia, and then sent Nia into the Kingdom of God as well.

After she came in, Bennia opened the window of the villa halfway up the mountain, looked down at the scenery, and embraced her daughter while admiring the view. She also sensed the powerful energy in the air and couldn't help but sigh:

"This is the Kingdom of God. This is my first time here too."

"Enough of that. Tell me about the magic engraving. If you have any wishes, I can help you fulfill them. Consider it a favor that the true god owes you."

A light knock signaled a change in the room's decor, leaving only the carpet and soft sofa, allowing Maginus and the two to sit down together.

According to Nia's explanation, the embryonic form of the artifact requires more than just ordinary "magical texts" or "magical languages." Magical texts related to dragon language, elven language, and elemental languages ​​are not worthy of being inscribed on the two artifacts.
