I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Mora naturally held a sense of awe and admiration towards powerful Legendary Strongmen.

A Legend, after all, can become a pillar of the Human Kingdom.

Upon suddenly learning that his good friend Lis had become a Legend, how could Mora not be excited?

However, he did not show it. The experiences over the years had made him accustomed to hiding his emotions.

But the resources Delia brought indeed surprised Mora; so many Magic Gems and Magic Metals, many of which were quite valuable.

It seems that the minerals in that small world are indeed abundant; no wonder Lis took action to seize it.

This could make up for the shortcomings of the Luou Peninsula.

As the largest Duke Domain in the Feis Kingdom, the Luou Peninsula has a suitable climate, fertile land, and convenient transportation, but apart from ordinary metal mines, it doesn't have any precious special mineral deposits.

Mora knew the value of these resources and didn't use them. Instead, he had them all stored in the castle's warehouse.

Was there something urgent that had Lis in such a hurry?

Just as Mora was pondering this matter, Lis suddenly appeared on the sofa in the center of the living room, took a generous sip of the coffee in front of him.

"Lis, you're back?!"

"Where did you just go?"

Mora, surprised, couldn't hide his joy as he spoke to Lis.

"Hmm, I just went to beat someone up."

Lis nonchalantly waved his hand and looked at Delia, who was sitting beside him, saying:

"You and your people should stay in the territory from now on. Just make it clear to them that if they want to leave, they can, but then they won't be able to return to the Cardiff Small World."

"Lord Lis, I understand. Please rest assured."

Delia promptly and respectfully replied.

"Hmm, go and arrange for the people you brought first."

Lis nodded, and upon hearing this, Delia stood up and left the room.

Delia came with Lis to the Gaia World, bringing with her the elite guards from the Royal Capital. Lis had her integrate them into the territory's guard forces.

At the same time, Lis also planned to send part of the guard forces into the Cardiff Small World.

This was both to maintain order in the small world and to oversee the Cartier Kingdom's mining of those precious magic resources.

The level of Extraordinary Professionals in the small world was generally lower compared to the Gaia World. After controlling the teleportation channel, Lis naturally didn't have much to worry about.

After Delia left, Mora could no longer hold back, and looked at Lis excitedly, asking:

"Have you become a Legend?"

"Hmm, of course."

Lis nodded, looking at the slightly flushed face of his good friend, he said with a smile.

"You're really powerful!"

Mora exclaimed in amazement, even though he was mentally prepared beforehand, hearing Lis himself confirm it still made Mora feel somewhat dreamy.

Just a few years~

The speed of Lis's power increase was as fierce as a Magic Crystal Cannon!

Lis shook his head, gently releasing a trace of Legendary Rank aura towards Mora.

Instantly, Mora's body trembled, and he quickly jumped up from the sofa.

At this moment, Mora finally noticed the smile on Lis's face and, in a half-serious manner, said:

"Alright, my esteemed Lord Li Simian, could you please not tease a normal person like me?"

"Okay."

Lis said with a smile; it was just a bit of banter between two friends.

However, after this small episode, Mora was much more relaxed than before, collapsing back into the sofa as he said:

"How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Lis had come back at least a few times, but always left soon after.

"I'll be staying in the territory for a while."

Lis replied as he took a sip of fragrant coffee.

"That's great. Since you've already achieved Legend, we should hold a grand celebration!"

Mora's eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly.

Previously, Lis's strength was formidable, but his most noteworthy aspect was his honorable status as a disciple of [Judgement Flame].

But now, Lis himself is a Legendary Strongman; no one would dare overlook his existence.

Naturally, Mora wanted to declare this to all related forces, which would greatly enhance the status of the Kane Family and the Duke Domain of the Luou Peninsula.

Lis thought for a moment and instead of answering directly, he asked Mora:

"What about the Kingdom and Bright City, any important matters recently?"

"Over there?"

Mora frowned as he thought for a while, then shook his head:

"Nothing important, just a few invitations to noble soirées, but those are mere routine greetings."

The Feis Kingdom was undoubtedly not without incidents during this period, but Mora knew those minor matters were unlikely to catch Lis's attention as a newly minted Legend, so he didn't mention them.

"What about King Morton?"

Lis raised his eyebrows slightly, asking with some curiosity.

"...Hmm."

"Nothing major, but His Majesty King Morton has appeared less frequently over the past six months, possibly due to his declining health."

"The subject of succession is still unresolved, which is a concern for the nobles in the Royal Capital as well."

Mora once again recollected and confirmed these facts, then confidently stated.

"Oh."

Lis nodded.

After Taya broke into Legend recently, Avin brought her back to Bright City.

Unexpectedly, the message about Taya becoming a Legend hadn't been announced yet, King Morton was keeping it well under wraps.

Perhaps he's waiting for Taya to stabilize her state before officially announcing and having her ascend to the throne.

After all, it's been less than a month since Taya's breakthrough, who would have thought that Lis would also become a Legend in such a short time.

In that case, it wouldn't be appropriate to see Taya right now; better wait until she's finished with her matters.

"There's no rush for the celebration, and don't spread the word about me becoming a Legend to too many people."

"I have a lot of important things to do during this period and don't want to get distracted."

"I see, understood."

Mora felt a bit regretful but didn't say much more.

Lis is the pillar of the entire territory; his increase in strength is more important than anything else.

"I'll prepare something good for you later."

"Look at you, how weak you've become."

Lis looked at Mora and shook his head disdainfully, saying.

"It's not all because of a certain absentee shopkeeper."

Mora rolled his eyes, stood up, and left.

"I really appreciate your hard work."

Lis waved his hand, smiling as he spoke.

After Mora left, Lis got up and stretched his limbs.

After becoming a Legend, he still had many matters on hand.

Research the new Legendary Arcane…

Explore and control the Azela Floating City…

Learn and master the secrets of the Sphinx Ascension Technique…

These matters were all quite important to Lis, but for now…

Lis sensed someone within the castle and quietly sneaked away.

In a towering spire of the castle, soft golden sunlight filtered through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a dappled pattern on the exquisite floor, cloaking the entire room in a layer of warm and mysterious radiance.

The room enclosed by towering bookshelves was densely packed with all kinds of Magic Books, and the air was faintly filled with the scent of ink, creating a serene yet fantastical atmosphere.

An exceptionally beautiful girl leaned by the open window, her silver hair dancing freely in the light breeze, occasionally brushing past her graceful and soft figure.

On the floor beside her, several hefty books lay scattered, along with a few pieces of parchment, covered with intricate Magic Runes, bearing marks of modifications.

Suddenly, the girl was embraced from behind.

Her entire body stiffened, just as she was about to unleash her Magic Power to counterattack, she felt the familiar breath against her neck, her body softened, allowing herself to be held obediently.

"Risa, did you miss me?"

Lis inhaled the fragrance at the girl's temple, whispered softly.

"Hmm."

Risa's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"It's been some time, and Risa has grown quite a bit!"

Lis said with a smile.

Feeling Lis's mischievous hands, Risa blushed to the point where words failed her.

While the two were in their cozy moment, Joyce was on the other side of the castle with a slightly darkened face.

"You rascal!"

Feeling Lis's location, Joyce said with helplessly shaking his head.
