In the Name of the Queen

There is indeed a blood stone belonging to a powerful person from the ancient era stored in the Garden of Eden, but Lisa doesn’t know who it is.

After all, getting the super artifact was just an accidental event of great luck. All that was left in the super artifact was a simple instruction manual, which only explained the basic functions and there was no record of the blood essence stone.

"Maybe it's the former owner of the Garden of Eden. Since I got his treasure, I naturally have to take good care of his relics."

Roland wanted to persuade Lisa to throw away the Blood Essence Stone, but when he looked at her eyes, his words changed on his lips.

"The Blood Essence Stone won't run away. Let's study it slowly when we have the opportunity in the future."

In the magic system, there is a special kind of magic that stores souls by creating soul stones.

The blood essence stone is a special soul stone. It can not only store the soul, but also the blood essence. As long as the conditions are right, there is a chance to be resurrected.

Blood Essence Stone is expensive to make and requires the personal touch of a Grand Mage (equivalent to Level 3) to condense it into shape, so it is very rare.

Even during the Magic Empire, the vast majority of governors were unable to enjoy this top-notch product.

Because they were not available, the theory that Blood Essence Stone was harmful began to spread.

In fact, there is no factual basis for the theory that blood essence stones are harmful. It is just what everyone says. In addition, it consumes too many resources. In the later period, the Magic Empire completely banned the production and use of blood essence stones.

Making blood essence stones starts with life imprisonment. Those who use blood essence stones to store soul blood essence will be immediately purified and their bodies and souls will be destroyed once they are discovered.

"This should be the blood essence stone of a powerful being in the early days of the Magic Empire."

Roland expressed his reasoning.

Of course Lisa wanted to believe that she had more confidence in Roland than in herself.

She goes on to share other mysteries of Eden with Roland.

Super artifacts are said to exist beyond ordinary artifacts, but in fact they are still artifacts. Roland prefers to call them super artifacts.

Super artifacts cannot be destroyed in the material plane. They will continue no matter how many years pass. They will not be destroyed until the catastrophe of the end of the world, and they will be restarted together with the plane.

Until the final day of return, Eden is virtually invincible.

As long as you hide behind the artifact, the enemy won't be able to get in at all.

Of course, there is no absolutely invincible artifact. Although Eden is good, she also has shortcomings. She does not have long legs.

If you are really forced into the Garden of Eden by the enemy, you will become a turtle in a bastard's shell. The enemy can trap and kill the people inside as long as the Garden of Eden is taken away and sealed.

In addition to being indestructible, super artifacts also have stronger attributes.

The efficiency of studying magic in the Garden of Eden is more than twice that of the outside world.

In addition, there are many wonderful uses, and Lisa herself is not sure about it.

After all, she only took over the Garden of Eden temporarily, and the instruction manual only had the most basic version. She was not even the owner of the Garden of Eden, but more like a housekeeper.

No matter what, this super artifact is now her trump card, and she will only share it with Roland.

"Roland, I have not told anyone about the existence of the Garden of Eden. If Teacher Anthony comes, he can only enter the first level. It looks like an ordinary space artifact."

She was slightly embarrassed, but she still bit her lip and said, "Teacher Anthony is a descendant of the Magic Empire after all. If he knows the origin of this super artifact, it may not be a good thing."

"You said, if you cherish humanity, don't test it. Alas, although I can comfort myself in this way, I still feel guilty for deceiving the teacher."

Lisa sighed quietly, her fingertips trembling slightly. Although she couldn't feel relieved, she knew that this was the most correct choice.

Teacher Anthony is different from Roland.

Roland would never hurt her and would always be with her, but what Teacher Anthony valued most was the inheritance of the Magic Empire, not her as a closed disciple.

She would definitely repay her teacher's teachings in other ways, but the Garden of Eden belonged to her and Roland.

Seeing Lisa's somewhat troubled expression, Roland held her trembling fingers and softly comforted:

"Lisa, there is no need to blame yourself. You are doing it for his own good. After all, Master Anthony's potential is limited. Super artifacts are not something he can get his hands on. If he is informed, greed will torture him for a long time."

Roland's eyes were sincere, which gradually calmed Lisa's heart.

Although he meant to make amends for Lisa, he was also sincere.

Master Anthony is an excellent inheritor of knowledge, a powerful magician, and an excellent leader who can control the Magic Association, but after all, he falls short on the road to becoming a strong man.

The difference isn't much, it's just the difference between what works and what doesn't.

Anthony did not have the heart of a strong man who would rather die than regret, and his true thoughts were revealed more than once in his words.

His greatest expectation for himself is to be at the level of the Great Magister, and he does not even dare to hope for the level of the Holy Magister.

If you don't even have confidence in this holy word, how can you use it to fight against the God's Punishment Legion or even the goddess herself.

Anthony had seen images of the fall of the Magic Empire, and he did not believe from the bottom of his heart that the remaining fire of the Magic Empire could burn away the deep-rooted old era.

He placed more hope on his disciples rather than himself.

A truly strong person will cultivate disciples, but will never hand over his ambitions to his disciples.

Sophia's wish is to kill the three goddesses.

Roland's wish is to kill the three goddesses together with his wives and replace them.

The wish of Sif and others is also to kill the goddess, seize the divine power, and replace her with her.

Anthony didn't even dare to hope to kill the gods with his own ability.

It’s a joke to have only spirit but no strength, but if the spirit is gone, the path to becoming a strong person will be gone.

Although he had a good personal relationship with Anthony and admired this respectable old man, Roland would not change his evaluation of Anthony.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. If you brag about it when it's obviously not, it will only kill people.

After the Garden of Eden was fully opened to Roland, Lisa's cheeks were slightly red, and she felt shy as if she was seen through.

This was her real trump card, and she would not share it with anyone except Roland.

"Let's go!"

Lisa whispered in a panic.

The unicorn raised its hoof and drove quickly along the road, aiming at the Eternal City in the south.

Although the distance was not close, the speed and endurance of the unicorn far exceeded that of the horse. They reached the Eternal City in just two days.

Lifting the curtains and looking at Lazio appearing on the horizon, Roland's first reaction was disappointment.

That's it?

The oldest ancient city in human history, spanning two eras and tens of thousands of years of history, is actually just an inconspicuous city?

Looking at the disappointment in Roland's eyes, Lisa felt a little uncomfortable.

This is her hometown, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon by Roland.

In fact, Lazio is not small in size. It just can't be compared with super cities like Sussex, Cite, and Fort Saint-Rurick, but it is not much inferior to the capitals of most countries.

Sensing Lisa's loss, Roland smiled and said, "A city with only prosperous business and crowded people but no long history has no soul. The soul of Lazio is ancient."

"Let's go, let me take a closer look at this city."

Roland's words cheered Lisa up.

Yes, it can't compare with prosperity, but it can always compare with history.

Her smile only lasted for half a second and then disappeared.

Lazio does have a lot of history, but this city is located in the center of the peninsula, and any war on the Talia Peninsula cannot bypass it.

When the pre-magic era began, the magic empire rose and seized the world's largest city from the previous generation of the empire. Then only a few monuments were retained, and other blocks were completely demolished.

The city full of magical civilization characteristics rose from the ruins and became the capital of the magic empire.

This city has occupied the center of the world for at least 50,000 years, creating too many brilliant civilizations, and should have left many traces, but the God's Punishment Corps came.

Although this God's Punishment Corps was weak and even defeated by humans, the tragic war also completely destroyed the Eternal City.

After the war, the Magic Empire was no longer able to rebuild a dreamlike Eternal City, and the reconstruction work was gradually shelved.

As the Magic Empire declined, the Eternal City also completely declined.

After several battles, the Talia people were lucky enough to succeed and occupied this ruined city.

The Talia people were rich, and they rebuilt the city in their style.

Except for a few relics from the Magic Empire period, the rest were replaced with Talia-style buildings.

As the city wall got closer and closer, Roland's disappointment could no longer be concealed.

A city with only history left but the traces of history were destroyed, so what else did she have left?

With a strong sense of disappointment, Roland followed Lisa into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Roland was surprised to see a magician flying over his head on a broom.

He was stunned.

It is the consensus of all people that only human strongmen can fly after breaking through the holy realm, and only after entering the divine realm can they fly freely.

Although the magician who just flew over used the help of magic props, he really took off by his own ability, not by relying on external forces like flying an airplane.

Looking at Lisa from the corner of his eye, he saw the same surprise in her eyes. Roland knew that this should be a new thing made by the people of the Magic Association.

Roland knew very well that the Kingdom of Talia was best at playing both sides, and the road was always getting wider and wider.

They joined the Rodinia Alliance, and at the same time did not give up their friendship with the Magic Association.

Even if Roland knew, he couldn't blame them. Roland himself cooperated with the Magic Association, so how could he stop other countries from following suit?

For some reason, Roland always had a bad premonition.

"The teacher's magic tower is at that location."

Lisa pointed her finger at the magic tower in the northwest direction, and her eyes were obviously not very confident.

Just a few months ago, this magic tower was less than 50 meters high, but now it looks at least 500 meters.

Can a tower grow?

Of course not a tower, but a magic tower can.

As long as there is enough magic crystal ore, the magic tower can absorb magic energy and continue to grow.

Roland knows all the remaining magic crystal veins and knows the reserves.

He is very curious about where Anthony and the Magic Association get so many ore.

With great curiosity, they approached the magic tower.

Before they approached the magic tower, a high-pitched and sharp voice sounded.

"The Magic Empire is forbidden, no one is allowed to enter!"

The name is actually the Magic Empire?

Roland frowned slightly. The Magic Association is indeed powerful, but what they lack most is people. People cannot be mass-produced, no matter how many magic crystal mines there are.

To support an empire, there must be at least 30 million people. If it is less than this number, it will become an international joke to force itself to call itself an empire.

The Magic Empire is the absolute king of the first half of the Sixth Era. If they have to be proud, they will never do something like claiming to be an emperor with a population of several million.

Seeing Roland's face change slightly, Lisa raised her hand angrily, and several attributeless magic missiles flew out at a very fast trajectory.

With a scream, a middle-aged magician fell out of a hidden room in the middle of the magic tower, which was more than ten meters above the ground, and fell headfirst.

Seeing that the magician was about to die on the spot, Lisa raised her hand, and a dark cloud flew over to support the unlucky man.

But she didn't hold it completely, but dispersed the magic when it was about three meters above the ground.

The unlucky middle-aged magician fell from a height of three meters. Fortunately, his head didn't hit the ground, but his thick butt landed first.

Although he was thrown to pieces and screamed repeatedly, he was not seriously injured at least.

Seeing Lisa's sullen expression, the middle-aged magician quickly explained:

"Miss Lisa, the misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding! How could I be disrespectful to you? You only need to show the token and you can pass freely."

"Really?" Lisa's voice was cold.

"If it's true, I can swear to the God of Magic!" the middle-aged magician swore.

Roland almost laughed out loud.

As we all know, magicians may have beliefs, but there is no god of magic.

The Magic Empire has great ambitions, and their magicians are trained according to extremely high standards. Which of these people is not arrogant?

There was a very famous saying at that time.

Magicians don’t need gods, magicians are gods.

Lisa pinched her right hand, and flames danced in her palm.

One Dharma can pass, all Dharmas can pass.

Although she never practiced other types of magic, as her strength grew, some basic magic suddenly appeared in her mind, and she learned the basic magic of other types.

The non-attribute magic bullets and dark clouds used just now are void and wind magic.

Of course, what she is best at is the fire element, the ultimate fire.

Looking at the milky white flames in her palm, the middle-aged magician's expression changed drastically.

The flames are originally red, yellow, blue and other colors, and there is no milky white flame. The milky white flame is a holy fire that can be created by condensing magical energy to the extreme.

The middle-aged magician's expression changed drastically, and he quickly begged Lisa for mercy.

"Miss Lisa, it's not my fault, it's..."

"Why don't I blame you? I blame you! If you make your own mistakes, reflect on yourself. Don't always blame others. Get out!"

Lisa interrupted the middle-aged magician's nonsense and told him to get lost.

The middle-aged magician scurried away with a headshot and gave way to the entrance of the magic tower.

Seeing Roland's half-smiling expression, Lisa was a little frustrated and muttered faintly:

"I-I don't want to know the answer."

Don’t want to know, but I already have the answer.

Master Anthony is the president of the Magic Association, but the Magic Association is not monolithic.

Even from the Antonine line, Sulla may not be willing to accept that Lisa's status is higher than his own.

This is human nature.

After all, the middle-aged magician is just a guard dog, barking a few times.

It's okay to beat him up to warn the people behind the scenes, but it's not appropriate to kill the dog directly.

What if he is Anthony's man?

Lisa's good mood had been exhausted. She activated the magic teleportation array with a dark face and took Roland to the tower.

The teleportation array shone with light, and the runes went from dark to bright, and then from bright to dark. It only took them a few seconds to reach the top of the magic tower.

The door and corridor looked like beasts with their mouths open, which Lisa didn't want to face.

"Sister Lisa, let's go, it doesn't look like we are welcome here."

He was not worried about being rejected, he felt sorry for Lisa.

Master Anthony accepted her as his disciple and loved this close disciple very much, making Lisa feel the long-lost father's love.

If it was really Anthony who did it, Lisa's world would be shattered.

Roland's persuasion rarely worked. Lisa gritted her teeth and her voice was extremely low.

"I must know the truth."

"Okay, I'll accompany you!" Roland said solemnly.

"Aren't you worried?" Lisa was a little confused.

"It's definitely not Master Anthony. Any doubt about him is an insult to his character."

Roland said categorically: "Since it's not him, something probably happened. He is kind to me. If he is really in trouble, I must save him."

Lisa let out a long breath, with a smile on her lips.

The only thing she worried about was that Teacher Anthony would do something that would make her emotional.

Since you are not a teacher, then there is nothing to worry about.

Even if there are all enemies inside, she still has to rescue the teacher.

Lisa took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Roland, let's get back to the carriage first." (End of Chapter)
