People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

But please don't torture me, your disciple, like this.

Drinking this stuff every day...it's just mental torture!!!

If he really did that, he would probably have died before reaching the Yatan Plateau.

No, we have to increase the time to go to Kalia Castle to see Lani, and we can’t stay in the magic academy any longer!

Thinking of this, he picked up the cup and took a sip, drinking up the little bit that was left.

But this sip seemed a little too strong and a little too big, so much so that he almost choked to death.

“…it’s really bitter and hard to drink…”

Reinhardt shed silent tears in his heart.

After accompanying Teacher Se Lian to drink the so-called "Borderland Coffee", I followed the teacher's footsteps and strolled around the town.

Selian kindly explained to him the changes in Menqian Town and Lienia, as well as the origins of those buildings.

The styles of those buildings were actually what he had said in the past, but according to Teacher Serlian, they also referenced the styles of many magic academies.

A closer look reveals that this is indeed the case.

Lienia is currently vigorously developing the north, while the south has been temporarily abandoned and left to decay because of [Limb Retrieval] Greg.

Teacher Se Lian also told him the reason for doing so.

Because Stonewell City is an important fortress connecting the north and south of the border, if you want to go to Nimgfu, you must either force your way through Stonewell City, repair the broken bridge, pass through the path, or build a dock and go across the sea.

Currently, these are the only options.

Besides Greg, there is also a guy named [Evil Demon] Markit guarding there. If a fight breaks out, it will be a waste of manpower and money and it is not worth it.

The most crucial thing is that Lienia does not have any decent army now. What great things can a group of second-generation Platinum Sons, a bunch of puppet soldiers and a group of male Platinum Sons do?

Not even a general...

So, after careful consideration, Se Lian chose to give up.

Besides, there is really no need to conflict with Stonewell City and that guy Greg.

But now that the ominous demon has been killed and that crazy coward Greg has gotten what he deserved, the work of repairing southern Lienia can be put on the agenda.

By the way, the west and east banks of Lienya, which are next to the Perum Avenue, have been cultivated and planted with crops.

Therefore, Lienia is still relatively rich at present. Even though it has lost the blessing of gold, it still has no shortage of food.

Afterwards, they passed by a bookstore, and Se Lian took him in without saying a word, saying that he wanted to buy some books for researching a new topic.

He was very curious. There were obviously a lot of books in the academy. Even if the large library was occupied by Queen Lena, there were still a large number of books. At worst, there was also something like the Kalia Study Tower.

As for going to a bookstore outside to buy it?

However, Seren gave this answer: "...Not all books can be found in the Magic Academy and Kalia's Book Room. Some books can only be found outside."

This statement made him even more confused.

What kind of book is Teacher Se Yulian looking for?

But he didn't ask any questions, nor did he follow Teacher Se Lian. Instead, he wandered around the bookstore alone.

You know what, this bookstore is really big, and even though it is daytime, the dim light cast by the pyroxene makes the whole bookstore appear inexplicably dark, as if you have walked into a witch's study, it's quite a feeling.

Moreover, the surrounding bookshelves were filled with a wide variety of books. Although he had read most of them, it was still quite novel to see them in such a popular bookstore.

However, he soon stopped and a book in the corner of the bookshelf caught his attention.

The book looked ordinary on the surface, but the large gold-plated characters on it were particularly eye-catching. But the most important thing was the name of the book -

"...The Golden Age?"

Out of curiosity, he glanced at it briefly.

Because of the habits he developed in the study tower, he reads very quickly. It seems that he is just flipping through the book, but in fact he is reading.

In just two minutes, he finished reading this thick-looking book.

The content is basically about the trivial things in the Golden Dynasty.

At first, the golden tree fell from the sky. Under the command of the first King of Elden, Gefulei, powerful heroes conquered the east and the west, and from a small force they became the overlord of the entire border area, establishing a brilliant golden age and spreading the golden law to every corner.

Then Queen Malika exiled her husband, and the Golden Dynasty began to decline.

The Night of the Black Blade caused a bug in the Golden Law, and then the goddess Marika smashed the Elden Ring, completely shattering the cornerstone of the Golden Tree. Her descendants, the demigods, began to kill each other in order to snatch the fragments of the ring, which was the Shattered War a thousand years ago.

It’s worth mentioning that what the author wrote was very pertinent and without any personal feelings. It was as if he was recording everything like a historian.

At least from his point of view there was no problem.

But strangely, there is a knight mentioned in the Shattered War section.

And the knight's description is also very strange -

He faced the Holy Tree Army and the Red Lion Legion alone, and fought against the two demigods in Gaelid.

The writing process was also very brave, which made his old face blush.

The ending is also ambiguous, and it tells the readers indirectly that the final winner of the battle was not Marennia, not Latan, and not the knight.

It is a war with no winners.

The writing is very relevant to the events, and there is indeed no winner in the end of the Broken War.

But it is a bit strange that this author knows the process of the Shattered War in such detail.

The most important thing is that although the knight did not mention his name, Reinhardt had already seen that it was written for him.

Then came the thousand years of his sleep after the Broken War.

This part is dedicated to the biography of Lienia. To be more precise, most of it is about the magic academy and teacher Seren.

It tells the truth about how Teacher Serlian used iron-blooded means to take over the academy, and records the process of Teacher Serlian's hard work and efforts to gradually lead the declining magic academy to its peak.

Then it is contrasted with the dilapidated and deserted Nimgefu, and the once glorious Royal City of Rodel.

And it's written...quite well.

The latter part seems to have the intention of deifying Teacher Se Lian.

He was a little curious about who the author was, so he closed the book and looked at the cover again.

At the very bottom of the cover he found the author's name, but it was a little surprising.

"Teacher Se Lian?!" He couldn't help but exclaim.

That’s right, the author of this book is Se Lian. There is no hiding of it at all, and it is engraved openly below.

He couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw it.

The teacher is really good at playing, even the means of ruling are so good.

If you want to be a good king, you not only need decisive measures and the idea of serving the country and the people, but also need to influence the people indirectly and gain their recognition.

Just like the feudal dynasties he knew, the emperor would add a title like "True Dragon Emperor" to himself.

This is to let the people below know that this is his destiny and to better rally people's hearts.

This method is very suitable for uncivilized areas such as border areas.

However, as an apprentice, seeing this, it is still a little embarrassing...

"Disciple, what do you want to ask me for?"

Suddenly, Teacher Se Lian looked at him from the other corner of the bookshelf.

"Ah, no, it's nothing, Mr. Seren, I was just a little surprised to see a book I've never read before."

He quickly stuffed the book into his pocket and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Really?" Seeing his expression, Se Lian tilted his head in confusion, but had no intention of probing. Instead, he walked over with a pile of books.

"Well, I have already chosen the books, so we can go now."

"Teacher, let me help you."

He took the books from Se Lian and took a quick look. There were about ten books, and they all looked quite thick.

"Teacher, what kind of books did you buy?"

"Hmm, of course it's a book about a new topic that I want to study as a teacher." Se Lian walked in front and replied calmly.

But there was a hint of happiness in his expression.

"New topic?"

He couldn't help but repeat it.

To be honest, he was also quite curious about Teacher Seren's new topic.

So I looked at the title of the book from the side with great reluctance, but I was shocked when I saw it.

A series of books about life, including "The Origin of Life", "The Fusion of Life", "The Reproduction of Life", "The Life...", etc.

However, despite the word "life" being marked on it, the contents are actually very explicit and are indecent content that should not be viewed. The essence is similar to that of the little emperor's uncle.

At least, he was almost unable to hold it back.

"...Teacher, why did you buy so many books about life?"

"Well, of course, I want to study new topics about life."

Unlike his shyness, Seren acted very calmly, as if these books were just a bunch of research records to her.

It seems...that's indeed the case.

The teacher was a casual person, and I used to walk around in front of him naked.

When I think of those scenes, I can't help but feel a little restless and my blood starts to boil.

He quickly dismissed the image in his head.

It's really too exciting, I can't bear it.

"Oh, by the way, the book at the bottom is for you, apprentice."

"For me?"

Reinhardt pulled out the book at the bottom.

It was a book about magic control and how to concentrate the mind. At the same time, Seren's voice sounded again:

"That's right.

Disciple, you are too impetuous right now. If you want to control your magic power to the point where you can create things, you must at least calm your mind."

"...I understand, teacher. Thank you."

Se Lian did not respond when she heard this, but turned her head and smiled sweetly.

Then he walked to the counter to pay for the books and asked them to deliver them to the office of the dean of the magic academy.

And he also secretly paid the money for the book "The Golden Age".

Although I can get it for free, this is Teacher Selien's territory. How can I put on such a fuss in Teacher Selien's eyes?

And as an apprentice, it is reasonable to collect a book written by the teacher himself, right?

Yes, it is like that.

However, shortly after walking out of the bookstore, I suddenly heard a scream from a distance.

"Killed!"

"Call the patrol! Someone's sick!"

The master and disciple immediately stopped and looked closely, only to see a nearly skin-and-bones guy in the distance attacking passers-by, tearing with his nails and biting with his teeth, like a mad dog that had lost its mind.

"This is...."

Reinhardt frowned slightly and squinted his eyes to see more carefully.

He saw the blessed golden light flickering in those bloodshot eyes like a candle flame that was about to burn out, and he immediately had the answer in his heart.

“Dementia…”
