In an open-air circular venue, four fist-sized magic missiles circled in mid-air. They did not shoot out immediately, but produced various changes under subtle control.
Orange flames, light blue frost, blazing white lightning, colorless sound waves, and four magic missiles simultaneously present different types of energy, replacing the only force field damage effect of the original magic missiles.
At this moment, Nandi, who was wearing a black gold-rimmed mage robe, raised her hands in vain. Her mind carefully controlled the stability of different elemental energies within the same spell.
A hundred feet away from Nandi, there were more than a dozen illusion targets floating up and down. Their movements were completely irregular, and they also used different colors to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Then Nandi raised her hand and pointed, and four magic missiles with completely different elemental energy flew across a hundred feet distance and hit the enemy target directly. All of them hit accurately. Even though the elemental energy was replaced, the precise characteristics of the magic missiles were still retained.
.
This move immediately attracted applause from more than a dozen mages outside the venue. Some young mages hurriedly came forward and handed towels and tea. They surrounded the young lady with all kinds of flattering words, as if they were casting a spell. What a big deal.
major events.
At this time, there were two middle-level mages watching outside the venue, and they were whispering:
"I didn't expect that Nandi is not yet twelve years old, right? She has already mastered the super-magical skill of energy mixing. And she can mix four kinds of elemental energy in a magic missile at the same time. Even those under Lord Siddons
A scholar of elements cannot do such a thing without long-term research and training, right?"
"It seems that the queen has no reservations in cultivating Nandi. This kind of specialized magic missile can only be mastered by a few students who are closest to the queen."
"That requires Nandi to have enough talent. I think this specialized magic missile requires at least a fourth-level spell slot to be used. At this age, it is indeed worth the Queen's effort to enter the threshold of a mid-level mage.
nourish."
"I don't think it's that simple. There are many young geniuses in the Tower of Pentacles. There have been many examples of young geniuses who were promoted to mid-level mages under minors. But whether young geniuses can continue to improve when they grow up is a matter of course.
Maybe. There are only a handful of people like Forsman, the Son of the Fire Demon, who has mastered the ninth level arcana at around thirty years old and is still moving towards the legendary level."
"It sounds like your words have other meanings?"
"What kind of student do you think is worthy of the queen's efforts to cultivate? Is it really because Nandy is the daughter of the 'Duke of the Heart'?"
"Isn't this reason enough? Even a legendary mage like Nazaruis can't prevail against the 'Duke of the Heart'. The queen tried her best to cultivate his daughter. Isn't it just a matter of solidifying the alliance between the two parties?"
"You are still too naive. No matter how strong the alliance is, there are differences in strength and ranking. Now the power and status of the 'Duke of the Heart' is not limited to the mutual protection alliance. There are many mages even inside the Pentagram Tower.
Become his loyal supporter. Can this situation be considered an alliance? This is clearly usurpation!"
"According to what you say, the Queen should not train Nandi, but should treat her as a hostage and put her under house arrest."
"So, the Queen attaches too much importance to Nandy, maybe... Humph! Nandy is the illegitimate daughter of the Queen and the 'Duke of the Heart'!"
"No way! Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing! Do you have any evidence?"
"Where can I find evidence? Can I cast a spell to do a paternity test? The Queen doesn't admit it, so who dares to say nonsense? But if Nandi is really the Queen's child, it would be simple and there is nothing to hide. But I am more afraid of guessing.
wrong."
"What does it mean if you guess wrong?"
"Recently, several apprentices who dropped out of school early have gone to Evergreen City to join the Golden Flower Society. If the Queen and the 'Duke of the Heart' really have a close relationship, they are just one family who have chosen different development directions.
.But what if the Queen and the 'Duke of the Heart' really just form an alliance and cooperate? The problem here is actually even bigger!"
"I finally understand. Are you worried that there will be a conflict between the Queen and the 'Duke of the Heart'?"
"Those of you who stay in the academy all day are too slow. The Mutual Protection Alliance was established under the initiative of our Pentagram Tower, but now the only person who can truly represent the Mutual Protection Alliance is the 'Psychic Duke', not the 'Missile'
Queen! Even after the elven fleet arrived in Sail Leaf Province, it was the Duke of Mind who presided over the meeting."
"This doesn't mean anything, right? It's impossible for the Queen to do everything herself, right?"
"This is politics, idiot! If you keep going like this, sooner or later you will have to choose sides in the Mutual Protection Alliance, and even a dog's brain can figure out the consequences of being on the wrong team!"
No one paid attention to the discussion between the two mid-level mages. Nandi politely thanked everyone, ended the morning's spell-casting training, and returned to the "Missile Queen"'s mage tower with brisk steps.
When she arrived at the mage's tower in a familiar way, she saw a man in black robes and tied hair sitting opposite her teacher, Mephisetis.
"Father?!" As soon as Nandi saw Xuan Weizi, she was so happy that she ran over excitedly and threw herself into his arms.
Xuanweizi caressed Nandi's head. She was like a well-behaved kitten, enjoying it very much. Her face was buried in Xuanweizi's arms, rubbing back and forth, her expression full of nostalgia.
"Father, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me?" Nandi sat down next to Xuan Weizi and hugged his arm reluctantly.
"I just arrived and saw you training, so I didn't bother you," Xuan Weizi said.
At this time, Mephisitis, who was sitting across from the low table, was wearing a light and fluffy bathrobe, leaning on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Nanti, fortunately you are progressing fast enough, otherwise I would be in front of your father."
I will feel ashamed."
Xuan Weizi said: "Nandi is able to achieve her current results thanks to the Queen's careful teaching. I am here today to express my gratitude."
Mephisitis, who seemed to have just taken a bath, crossed her legs with a lazy expression, put one hand on her buttocks and tapped her rhythmically, listening to her casually saying: "Your Excellency Olenso is too uninformed, between you and me.
There is no need to thank you from time to time."
These words sounded completely ambiguous to Nandi. Although she was young, her mind was far more precocious than other peers. Mephistis unabashedly revealed her charm in front of her father, which was unavoidable.
Reverie. Nandi even guessed that if she had not come back, there would have been a scene of entanglement and hand-to-hand fighting in the mage tower at this moment.
In fact, Nandi sometimes guesses, what is the relationship between her father and her teacher? If they are really the two most important pillars of the Mutual Protection Alliance as the seniors said, then it seems a bit too shallow.
Although Nandi couldn't always be with her teacher and couldn't understand the top-level decisions of the Pentagram Tower, she vaguely felt that her teacher actually had a good impression of her father. And looking at the current situation, not only did the two of them
If we get along harmoniously, maybe we can go further.
Nandi couldn't help but wonder, should she further bring her father and teacher together? Oh, what would her mother think? Wait, there is more than one woman around her father, so there doesn't seem to be any problem...
Nandi was lost in inner contemplation there, unaware of the external situation in a daze. Mephisitis couldn't help but smile and said: "Your daughter is also interesting, she actually thinks about how to bring you and me together."
Xuan Weizi said: "Actually, she is not the only one who has this idea. Sir Weston is worried that there will be conflicts between you and me, so he privately proposed that you and I formally get married."
"Pfft--" Mephisetis laughed so hard that she bent up and said, "It's really hard for this young master to say such words. It is obvious that the Pentagram Tower is the foundation established by his ancestors, but he doesn't care at all.
"
"I have no intention of embezzling or replacing the Pentagram Tower." Xuan Weizi said with a serious expression, "I came here this time just to gain the Queen's trust."
Mephisetis sat up gently with a smile on her face: "I have always trusted Lord Olanso."
"At this moment, I want to know more about the Queen's true attitude." Xuan Weizi said: "The future of the Mutual Protection Alliance cannot be just a loose alliance. Whether it is water conservancy canals, magic trains, or land inventory and redistribution
, are destined to knead it into one country. And a country can only have one core. I want to ask, does the Queen want to be the supreme ruler of the entire country? Whether it is or not, please give me a clear answer from the Queen.
."
Mephisetis looked directly at Xuan Weizi and asked: "If I answer 'yes', what are you going to do?"
Xuan Weizi was silent for a moment and replied: "If the queen says so, I can choose to surrender."
Mephisetis slowly opened her eyes: "Did I hear you correctly? Will Your Excellency Oranso choose to surrender? You are not like such a person."
"The Queen should understand that I did not surrender just to protect myself." Xuan Weizi said.
"That's right, you who appear here are a very special avatar. You went to the Twilight King's Court and it seems that you have improved again." Mephisetis said.
Xuan Weizi continued: "I just hope the queen can understand that a country must have an authority, otherwise it will be a problem to even run. Just like today's Great Londinium Empire, the conflict between the emperor and the Senate caused
The crisis is more serious than any internal or external troubles. If the Queen wants to have this authority, then I will let her subordinates obey the Queen's arrangements, and I will only be responsible for advising the Queen."
"For the sake of this country, Your Excellency Olanso actually chose to voluntarily give up the highest authority at your fingertips?" Mephisetis asked: "If this is the case, what kind of compensation do you want? For example...me?"
When Mephisitis said this, she gently untied the belt that held up her bathrobe.
"The Queen has not officially answered my question yet." Xuan Weizi said without changing her expression.
Mephisitis responded, still hypothetically: "What if I'm not going to be the ruler of this country?"
"Then what does the queen want?" Xuan Weizi followed suit and asked: "If you give up this supreme authority, you must have other pursuits."
"It seems that if I don't tell you, you won't trust me completely." Mephisetis sighed softly: "I guess you have guessed that I want to become a god."
"Using the 'Ascending Ladder' to become a god?" Xuan Weizi said: "The witch Shu Rui is still in the ancient giant ruins. Does she not plan to come out?"
Mephisetis's expression calmed down: "I understand your concerns. You are worried that I will use the ancient giant ruins to your disadvantage. I can promise you that I will never do this."
Xuan Weizi asked: "Why does the queen plan to become a god? Does she hope to transform into an immortal existence? With all due respect, this may not be the right path."
Today, Xuan Weizi has once again sought to prove his karma as an Earth Immortal. He has shed his mortal body and possesses the power of eternal life. Although he may still be killed, he will no longer die naturally. This state of mind and body transcending the life and death of mortal beings,
It is also a manifestation of the immortality of this world. It's just that Xuan Weizi practiced Taoism and adjusted his body and mind to do it. Other spellcasters may also be exploring other ways.
"If it were just to become an immortal existence, I wouldn't use the 'ladder of ascent'." Mephisetis's words had no obvious tone, but concealed unquestionable confidence: "But gods are not as simple as immortality;
It represents a pure concept. The power of gods does not only rely on the faith and belief of thousands of believers, but also on the grasp of concepts and the essence of the world's operation."
Although Xuan Weizi did not answer the question, he had to admit that what Mephisetis said had really broadened his horizons. In the past, he only cared about how the gods took on the power of faith and how they interacted with believers, but he did not think deeply about the gods.
inner essence.
"Then what kind of god does the queen hope to become?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"I'm still thinking and exploring." Mephisetis suddenly stood up, walked to Xuan Weizi with swaying steps, ran her fingers back and forth on his thigh, put her lips to her ear, and whispered: "Actually, I am very
I hope you will explore with me, and there will be a place for you in my future Kingdom of God."
The atmosphere between the two was extremely ambiguous. The loose bathrobe slipped off on its own, revealing her snow-white skin that was almost glowing. The "Missile Queen", who was admired and worshiped by the mages, was very close at hand, naked and beautiful.
It is like a real goddess issuing an invitation to have sex, with the hanging hair whispering the whisper of love. It is almost a scene that all men dream of, and they want to immediately sow the seeds of life into the depths of the goddess.
"I will give birth to a child for you, and he will be the future king and rule the earth forever." Mephisetis said this while almost biting Xuan Weizi's earlobe.
"Where is the eternal rule?" Xuan Weizi suddenly spoke, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
Mephisitis showed a resentful look: "Are you going to reject me?"
"The queen hopes to become a god, and I will not stop her." Xuan Weizi said: "But the 'ladder of ascent' of the ancient giants may not be a suitable path. The ancient giants failed before they could, so please be careful, queen."
