"It's the emperor."

Emperor.

The emperor Socrates mentioned could only refer to one person, the current ruler of the Rhine Confederation, Socrates' nominal lord: the Emperor of the Rhine Confederation, Heinrich.

"You want to make Heinrich a Beyonder? Did I hear you correctly... Have you really put yourself in the role of the Chief Magician of the Rhine Federation Court?"

Angelica thought that Socrates agreed to take the position because he was thirsty for the knowledge in the Library of Celsus, but Socrates, like Dorothea, was the type who didn't like to joke. He was absolutely serious and he sincerely hoped that the emperor would become immortal.

"None of us is a ruler. I might open your scars by saying this. You... and the Orange Witch have both tried and failed."

"Nothing, that's all past. Failure is normal. Talent, luck, and resources are all necessary to become a Beyonder. We are all magicians with exceptional qualifications. We didn't have the ability to rule from the beginning."

Magical aptitude and ruling ability are two different concepts. Although magic can achieve group hypnosis, it can only command them to execute some simple orders. It is true that eternal life can give them plenty of time to learn and grow, but Angelica and others are not interested.

No ruler in history had ever become an Extraordinary Person, but now Heinrich, Emperor of the Rhine Confederation, had touched upon that possibility.

"Yes, but the Beyonder was the king from the beginning, so everything is different. We believe that it is the right decision to have an eternal Beyonder as the ruler. We should not hide, but let the immortals guide people and form a reasonable order. Since you have been living in the Rhine Federation, you must have witnessed the emperor's rule."

"I do not know."

Angelica spread out her palms.

"I stay at home. If I go out for a stroll, I'll travel all over the world. I won't stay in the Rhine Federation all the time."

"…Everything is thriving under the Emperor's rule. He is a truly talented and wise king. No rebellious party has ever been able to shake the Emperor's rule. The people always hope that the wise king's rule will last long and lead them to prosperity. Now, we have the ability to make the Emperor's rule eternal. What reason is there not to do it?"

Angelica could not deny Heinrich's rule. As the most influential empire in the human world, managing the Rhine Federation was undoubtedly an arduous task. However, Heinrich delivered a satisfactory answer. He reorganized the country and made the monarchy of this originally somewhat loose empire almost reach its peak.

Not only that, Heinrich's magic talent is also genius, and he is good at both literature and martial arts. Heinrich's offspring are also very good, but compared with Heinrich, they can only be called mediocre, and no one can do better than Heinrich.

"I have planned a perfect path for the emperor. I will make him a true immortal, not a defective product like me."

"Wait a minute, Purple. Are you going to get Heinrich to a specific Sequence One?"

"I planned for the emperor twenty years ago."

"I'm not asking about your blueprint... We don't take up the quota for Sequence One, but others who haven't reached the Beyonder realm will occupy the only quota for a specific Sequence One."

There is only one seat for each of the eighty Sequence One magics. In other words, at most eighty people can reach Sequence One at the same time. However, there will always be empty seats and multiple Sequence One holders in each period, and the number of people will usually remain in the range of half to less than fifty.

"If someone has already reached the Sequence 1 you and Heinrich want to collect and has taken up the spot..."

“We’re going to get it.”

Socrates answered without hesitation.

"At any cost."

What should I do if someone occupies the only sequence spot?

It's very simple, just kill the opponent and make him vacate the quota. There have been more than one fights between magicians for this reason in history, usually focusing on the quotas of Sequence 3 and above.

The route Socrates planned for Emperor Heinrich required reaching a certain number of Sequence Ones, which meant that Heinrich would inevitably come into conflict with other Sequence One holders. A conflict between the rulers of a country was definitely not a trivial matter.

"Are you going to stop us, Black Witch?"

"No thanks. I have no interest in stopping you... and certainly no interest in supporting you."

Anyway, Angelica doesn't take up a place, so she can't be killed.

146 Witch Hunt

Socrates knew Angelica's character, and he had no intention of trying to win her over by force. As long as Angelica did not interfere, it would be an acceptable result for Socrates.

Among the currently surviving Beyonders, Angelica was the one most likely to intervene in terms of her personality. Even if Angelica did not come to visit today, Socrates planned to find an opportunity to meet Angelica in person.

Zeno is the only blood clot in the magic secret society Ouroboros. Although they have different beliefs and cannot work together, the magic secret society now has no creed to kill members who leave the group, so Socrates chose to exile Zeno.

"Very good. If you are willing to make some concessions, I don't mind providing some help on my side."

"Offer help?"

"Hmm? Could it be that you came here simply to show your concern for Zeno?"

Socrates was a little surprised. He thought Angelica wouldn't be so idle.

"I think the actions of the Magic Secret Society cannot be completely ignored."

"...I see. You are worried that we might be planning something like the Rosicrucian magic secret society."

Socrates understood immediately.

The magical secret society Rosicrucian is the oldest magical secret society in the world. Among the many magical secret societies that emphasize secrecy, its secrecy is one of the best.

Socrates is publicly active as a Beyonder, but his identity as the leader of the magic secret society Ouroboros remains hidden, and only a few people in the Rhine Federation know about it.

The action that Angelica and Socrates were talking about was the fall of an extraordinary person long ago.

There were two witches who died after obtaining eternal power. They were the "Orange" witch and the "Blue" witch. The notoriety of witches was mostly caused by these two. In the world's perception, these two witches died in conflicts with other extraordinary people. However, the truth of the matter is slightly different.

Other witches did participate in the fall of the "Blue" witch, but the one who truly planned and implemented the plan was the magical secret society Rosicrucian. From this perspective, the magical secret society Rosicrucian is the only organization that has successfully killed extraordinary people.

They have no desire for fame. The "Blue" witch is a notorious witch, but they don't care at all that the credit recognized by the world does not belong to them. Even if they have made achievements that will be recorded in history, they still choose to disappear.

Angelica didn't say that she had a good relationship with the Blue Witch. The Blue Witch was a pure villain, and Angelica hated her to the point where she could use the famous saying of the Mongolian top laner to slander her. It was just that Angelica couldn't understand what the magic secret society Rosicrucian was asking for, and now they were still in secrecy.

"You have misunderstood us. There are not many connections between magic secret societies, and we don't know the purpose of the magic secret society Rosicrucian. Naturally, we will not attack other extraordinary people like they did."

Socrates changed the subject.

"But I am indeed interested in you who have achieved true eternity. If we hadn't found a more important ambition, I might have really planned to capture you and study you."

"Is it really okay to say this to my face?"

"Telling you that we have given up."

If Socrates was a beautiful girl, Angelica might be caught using a honey trap.

Angelica was only here to confirm the goal of the magic secret society Ouroboros. She didn't want to get herself into trouble for no reason. As for whether she was worried about Coppelia? Maybe a little bit.

"Then I'm relieved. Next, let's talk about the help you mentioned."

"Aren't you here to confirm our purpose?"

"Yeah, but you said you were willing to help, how could I refuse?"

Angelica said with a smile. She actually had no intention of getting anything out of Socrates, but how could she refuse such a good deal for free.

"I have been looking for the descendants of the brave recently. As the chief magician of the court of the Rhine Federation, maybe you know some information?"

"Descendants of the brave..."

Socrates thought for a moment.

"At a meeting on magic academic research, a magician named Merlin seemed to have mentioned that there were descendants of the Healing Hero in his country, the Kingdom of Pilsen."

"I have found the descendants of the brave warrior of "Healing". "

It would be better to say that this journey started from the "Healing" hero of the Pilsen Kingdom.

"I don't pay much attention to the descendants of heroes. Oh, by the way, the descendants of the "Bow" hero may be in Albion."

Socrates was about to refuse Angelica, but he suddenly remembered the information reported to him by his colleagues in the Magic Secret Society not long ago, which mentioned the descendants of the "Bow" hero. Unlike Angelica, Socrates is enthusiastic about academic research, and he will have a vague impression even if he has heard information that he doesn't care much about.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Socrates is relatively young among the extraordinary people and his Alzheimer's disease is not particularly serious.

"Eh--"

After hearing Socrates' information, Angelica let out a high-pitched sound that shouldn't be heard in a large library.

"A-Albion...?"

In the north of the continent where humans live, there is an island where elves live, called Albion. Unlike the human world where many heroes coexist, the elves usually have only one nominal king. In other words, the elves themselves have only one kingdom. Albion is both the official name of the elf island and the name of the elf kingdom.

Having said that, the system of the elves is different from that of the human world, and the elven king basically does not have much royal power.

"what happened?"

"Are you sure it's in that place?"

"I can't be sure, but the probability is very high. You can use space warp to jump to Albion."

The Elf Island of Albion does not border the continent of the human world. The conventional means of reaching Albion Island is by boat, because the Elf Island does not open its airspace to the outside world, and riding flying mounts such as griffins will be regarded as an act of invasion.

"...No. The Elf King will stop me. I don't want to see the Elf King."

"Oh? You're actually afraid of the Elf King?"

It is true that the Elf King is one of the few powerful beings who possesses multiple Sequence Ones, but Socrates does not think that Angelica has any reason to be afraid of the Elf King.

"I pursued the Elf King's wife."

"..."

"I pursued the Elf King's wife."

“No need to repeat it!”

"It should actually be considered a success? Hehe~"

"You're still so smug... The Elf King was really kind by not sinking you to the bottom of the sea. And don't you hate this?"

Socrates would not be too passionate about relationships, but his ideas have not changed. It is really hard to understand why he would flirt with other people's wives.

Besides, Angelica claimed that she didn't like minotaurs, so does that mean it's okay for her to play the role of a yellow-haired man? This is a bit too hypocritical.

147 Miss Witch is about to set foot in the distance

"Of course I hate minotaurs. I am a philanthropic harem lover."

"Is there still a distinction between fraternity and narrow-mindedness in the harem?"

"I am willing to love the girls in the harem equally, and you don't mind if I am the one who is loved."

"You really have a wide range of interests..."

Socrates was speechless for a moment. He originally thought that if Angelica really did this, it was indeed philanthropic. A mature haremist should be able to start a harem or become a harem herself. This is healthy. But Socrates thought it was wrong. After all, Angelica was obviously a witch. Why did she pursue a harem of beautiful girls?

And most of the time Angelica is just flirting with other girls... No, this may have something to do with her age.

"So you're pursuing the Elf Queen in order to start a harem?"

“The wife is awesome!”

"...?"

"Ahem, I'd better tell you tactfully. The relationship between the Elf King and his wife...is not very good."

"Domestic violence? This is really rare among elves."

The elves have always prided themselves on being a civilized race, especially regarding orcs as barbarians, although recently the views of female elves towards orcs seem to have become a little strange.

"No, it's because... I can't open my mouth..."

"what……"

Angelica was so tactful that Socrates suddenly understood.

The relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, but it is not domestic violence, and it is difficult to talk about... Men will understand the reasons. Although Socrates was not married, he was a man after all. He had been in the court for a long time and knew what kind of rumors would arise if the nobles had no heirs.

Come on, Elf King.

Socrates silently cheered for the Elf King in the distance in his heart.

At the same time, seeing that Socrates understood, Angelica did not continue speaking.

Even someone as smart as Socrates would have understood after hearing this hint, the Elf King -

——Actually, I’m a lolita complex.

Their marriage was not voluntary, but was caused by many factors within the elves.

What an unfortunate man.

"I took the initiative to pursue her after I knew this. She is clearly a good witch who loves to help others."

"We may have different definitions of helping others. But if you are looking for the descendant of the brave Bow, I suggest you go to Albion to check it out yourself."

Using space warp to enter the Elf Island directly would definitely be discovered by the Elf King, because this is Sequence 2 magic, and the Elf King, who is also a great magician, would definitely notice it. The conventional way to enter the Elf Island would require strict control at several ports, but Angelica was already on the blacklist of the Elf Island.
