After recuperating in the Sky City for more than a month, Sun Ran's body has almost returned to its original state. At least from the outside, he is no different from ordinary people.
But the situation inside his body was completely different from before. Before, his body was full of vitality. As he grew older, his mental power was growing all the time.
But now, his body is completely a pool of stagnant water, and his mental power is dry. Not to mention increasing, it is even slowly decreasing.
At this rate, in five years, Sun Ran will return to the realm of a five-star magician, and in ten years, he will return to the realm of a four-star magician. He will continue to regress in this way, and after middle age, he will even withdraw from the world of magicians.
This is the sequelae of magic backlash, which is very, very serious.
He has no future, his brain is damaged, he gets tired easily, and his magic combat ability is extremely low. He is not suitable to be the commander of the battle mage legion. Sun Ran, who was originally very popular in the Sky City, was quickly marginalized and excluded from the Sky City.
The core of the city.
He has moved out of the original mage tower, and his current residence is the one used by his mentor Morgan.
Now, Sun Ran and Zhao Shan are staying in the alchemy room of the mage tower, using the green dragon's body materials to refine potions.
He is very leisurely, no one bothers him, and these materials are just lying around, just to kill time.
While silently refining the potion, he and Zhao Shan secretly communicated.
"Sun Ran, do you have any way to solve it?" Zhao Shan has asked many times. If you use a plug-in, it can naturally be solved, but then it will be exposed. The difficulty is how to use the methods within the rules to break through.
Current dilemma.
"Of course there is a way. This body was condensed by myself, and I know it very well. It is not difficult to reverse mental exhaustion, it just takes time."
"You always say that, how long will it take?"
"Anyway, when the troubled times really come, I won't stand idly by and watch." Sun Ran smiled.
"Okay, I believe you." Zhao Shan began to cooperate seriously with Sun Ran in refining the potions. These are things from the green dragon's body. The potions made are very precious and will be used in the future.
While he was busy, the voice of the magic apprentice came from the door of the alchemy room: "Master, Princess Tolia is here to visit."
"I'm like this, and this woman is still here?" Sun Ran was a little confused. But then he replied: "Take her to the living room to wait for me. She will be there later."
"Yes." The apprentice outside the door responded, and then the footsteps faded away.
Sun Ran stopped what he was doing, went to the side and washed his hands, and said to Zhao Shan: "Then I'll go see the princess."
"Well, go ahead."
When he arrived at the living room, Sun Ran saw Tolia in a blue dress. She was standing at the window, looking at the beautiful scenery of the Sky City.
Hearing the footsteps, Tolia didn't look back and said with a smile: "Russell, it seems you haven't been hit hard and your life is still very fulfilling."
Sun Ran walked to Tolia and stood next to her, and also smiled: "Magic is very mysterious. The backlash of magic only caused me to lose an eye for exploration, but it does not prevent me from using other means to continue to pursue her beauty."
"You...sigh." Tolia sighed and turned to look at the boy beside her. She saw that he was still the same as before, with a calm demeanor and calm eyes. She felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.
Sun Ran stretched out his hand to invite: "Your Highness, take a seat."
Tolia nodded, sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and suddenly said: "Recently, my father's health has become worse and worse. He is planning to let me perform the enthronement ceremony next month."
"Congratulations. Then I should change my name and call you Your Majesty." Sun Ran said with a smile. This is expected, the old king only has such a daughter.
"Thank you." Tolia smiled decently, and then said casually: "After I ascend the throne, I have to choose a prince-in-law. You know, I am not young. And the blood of the royal family needs to be passed on."
"Well, this is necessary." Sun Ran nodded, not thinking about why Tolia said this to him at all.
Tolia bit her lower lip, remained silent for a long time, and then spoke again: "Russell, have you ever considered starting a family?"
"No." Sun Ran shook his head: "I don't have that intention. All my thoughts are on how to cure the sequelae of magic backlash."
"From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to cure this. It's actually not bad to be an ordinary person."
"No, I cannot accept that I am an ordinary person. My parents are ordinary people, and then they were easily killed by demons in Horseshoe Fortress, just like harvesting weeds on the roadside. I do not accept this fate, and I must do it for them.
revenge!"
"Why are you so persistent? You have already avenged them in the Wusu River."
"Your Majesty, this is my personal matter. Do you have too much control?" Sun Ran's expression became cold and distant.
"You... are so unreasonable!" Tolia also had a temper, her eyebrows raised and her heart filled with anger and pain.
There was a silent confrontation, and both of them sat in silence.
After half an hour, Tolia softened her attitude first and whispered: "Russell, life is very long, why do you have to suffer so much? Come back to Red Dragon Castle with me, okay?"
"Why? I'm fine here." Sun Ran looked puzzled, but he was quickly thinking about how to refuse. The situation was already clear. The princess wanted to recruit him as her consort!
This is exactly what Tolia thought. Before, Sun Ran was extremely talented and had an extremely bright future. She just had a vague idea in her mind, and she didn't even dare to say it out, because he was too dazzling. Even if she was a princess of a country, she could only
Can look up.
But now, this rising star has fallen, fallen to the mortal world, and become a mortal. Although Tolia feels it is a pity, she is still a little happy in her heart. Now he has become an ordinary person, and the distance is finally close.
She struggled in her mind for a long time, then raised her chin slightly, looked down at Sun Ran, and showed the majesty of the head of a country: "For no reason. I, Tolia Lucio, have taken a liking to you and want to recruit you as my consort. If you
If you are willing, you will be the king of the Kingdom of Holy Helm from now on, I will be the queen, and our son will inherit this kingdom."
Yes, she is a queen, and a queen must be majestic!
Sun Ran covered his forehead and didn't know how to answer. He sent a message to Zhao Shan: "Come here for help, Tolia has taken a liking to me!"
"What's going on?" Zhao Shan's voice was surprised.
"She wants to marry me!" Sun Ran said directly.
"I understand, I knew this woman wouldn't let it go." Zhao Shan said in a hateful voice.
Here, Tolia felt her heart pounding and her cheeks getting hot. This was the first time she had said such words to a man directly, and she felt extremely nervous.
"Are you talking? Are you okay or not?" Seeing that Sun Ran remained silent, Tolia urged.
"No!" The voice came from the door, and Zhao Shan walked in.
"Rosna, this is your brother's business, you let him decide for himself!" Tolia felt very headache when she saw Zhao Shan coming.
Sun Ran said: "I refuse."
"I don't understand." Tolia's face suddenly turned pale.
"Because my brother and I are in love, he will never have another woman!" Zhao Shan said without surprising.
"This...Russell, is this true?" Tolia didn't believe it.
"Rosna was adopted by my parents. She is not my biological sister. We..." This reason is really bullshit.
"Okay, I understand, I'm sorry to bother you." Tolia's face was pale, she quickly stood up and rushed out of the living room. Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the tower, and the princess left.
Zhao Shan spread her hands to Sun Ran: "Okay, the princess is angry. What I just said was nonsense. You must not take it seriously."
"I know, thank you." Sun Ran smiled.
The incident with Tolia passed away like this, and Sun Ran continued to cultivate in the Mage Tower. One month later, the news came from Red Dragon Castle that Tolia had ascended the throne, and another month later, there was news that the queen was recruiting a consort across the country.
, and then there was no news, and it was unknown who became the consort. Then, there was news of border friction between Sithis and the Helm Kingdom, and there were a few small battles. The two countries were full of gunpowder.
I heard that the relationship between several other kingdoms is not very harmonious.
Without the threat of the dark army to the west, various kingdoms of the human race have begun to habitually fight among themselves. The troubled times are slowly beginning, and the mage world has entered the last calm period before the storm.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Sun Ran for the time being, and his life in the mage world has truly become peaceful.
After a year of silent cultivation, he woke up one morning and felt that his mind was very clear. The connection between the immortal spirit and the body became stable again. After meditating for a while, a smile appeared on Sun Ran's face, and he continued to cultivate his body subtly for a year.
, his magic backlash symptoms finally completely disappeared, and his declining mental power stopped and began to bottom out.
Goddess Frigga discovered the news immediately, and a joyful smile suddenly appeared on her face. This time, she hid the news.
'The little guy is too popular, so I can protect him!' Frigga thought so, and she didn't even tell Odin about it.
Sun Ran was sitting on the bed, about to tell Zhao Shan the news, when suddenly he frowned and received a signal from Taoist Priest Changqing. (To be continued...)
