In the Name of the Queen

Roland was a little surprised that Lisa actually knew how to retreat in order to advance.

If it were her before, she would definitely be determined to rush through this door, even if the gods came, she wouldn't be able to stop her.

Seeing Roland's surprised look, Lisa glared at him with dissatisfaction, her beautiful eyes seeming to protest, "People always grow, and I am no exception!"

After the middle-aged magician was punished, Lisa and Roland quickly returned to the carriage.

Before they returned to the Garden of Eden, they saw a familiar figure.

Sulla was waiting for them at the carriage door.

Roland felt something was wrong, because Sura's eyes were obviously dim, and the eye circles were even a little red.

Sensing that something was wrong with Sura, Roland winked at Lisa and went to meet her first.

"Mr. Sura, long time no see."

Lisa and Sura are both disciples of Teacher Anthony. Once they break up, there is no room for redemption.

If there is destined to be a conflict, it is better for Roland to go first.

Lisa didn't stop Roland. At the critical moment, she trusted Roland even more than herself.

Sura didn't even notice that Roland was not far in front of him. Shocked by Roland's words, he lowered his voice and said:

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go."

"Senior Brother Sura, get in the car."

Lisa finally appears and invites Sura.

Sura looked at the unicorn pulling the cart with a complicated expression.

With the end of the Battle of White Mountain and the advent of the Fourth Return Day, many legendary creatures emerged from unknown places. Although unicorns were rare, he had seen them at least.

What surprised him was that the four unicorns were willing to give Lisa a ride.

Unicorns are proud and holy holy beasts. They rarely serve humans, let alone pulling carts, a clumsy labor that would hurt their self-esteem.

Without any time to think, Sura followed Roland and boarded the carriage.

Following Lisa's instructions, the gorgeous carriage pulled by the unicorn ran towards the west gate of Lazio City.

This street has a dedicated carriage road, so there is no need to worry about running over pedestrians.

Inside the carriage, Sulla's shock was beyond words.

Although Lisa only showed him the first floor and could not see the true appearance of the Garden of Eden at all, the carriage still showed incredible power.

"Is this an artifact?" Sura asked softly.

Lisa did not answer directly, but said softly: "Please keep it secret for me."

Sula was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "Lisa, you are indeed the most valued disciple of the teacher, both in terms of strength and luck."

It was okay if I didn’t talk about it, but Lisa was a little unhappy when I mentioned it.

"Really? But I can't even enter the door of Teacher's magic tower."

She recounted what happened just now when someone blocked the road.

Sura's expression was a little complicated, and she sighed faintly: "Lisa, you haven't been here in the past few months. You don't know what happened recently."

Lisa looked at Sura nervously, her voice slightly wavered, "Is the teacher okay?"

"He's good, but a little too good."

Sura struggled hard for a while, but decided to tell the truth.

Lazio was once the capital of the Magic Empire. The Kingdom of Thalia was weak and decided to lure the Magic Association into an alliance with itself.

The result of the compromise between the two parties was that Anthony and the Thalia royal family secretly united and reached an agreement, announcing that the entire Thalia Kingdom would join the Magic Association in preparation for the rebuilding of the Magic Empire.

After forming a secret alliance, Anthony sensed the guidance of the mysterious power and ventured into the ruins of the old capital.

He didn't have high hopes at first, but in the end, he found a secret passage from the ruins of the old capital to the imperial treasure house between life and death.

He obtained the last treasure of the Magic Empire.

Anthony was so excited, this was the blessing of the goddess of luck!

He believes that all this is destiny and cannot be disobeyed.

The Thalia royal family also hopes to embrace it. They have always been insecure and are better at adapting to the situation. Since there is hope for the revival of the Magic Empire, they certainly support it.

Both sides announced to the outside world that they were only cooperating for a win-win situation, but in fact they were preparing for the reconstruction of the empire.

"Those rude magicians are instant magicians selected from the Kingdom of Thalia."

"I never thought these guys who cast spells with magic patterns were magicians."

Thinking of this incident, Sura felt a little aggrieved. The training of orthodox magicians requires a very long period and strict selection of talents. Only outstanding geniuses like Lisa can skip these training processes.

What are these instant magicians? They don't even have much magical talent. They just rely on the magic pattern inscription technology that Anthony found from the ruins of the empire to infuse them.

There is a limit on the number of magic stones that can be engraved with magic patterns, so the royal family and nobles are given priority.

The middle-aged magician who showed off his power in front of Roland and Lisa just now is such a quick magician.

This drunken dandy didn't even know Lisa and Roland, so he made such a joke.

"So, the teacher is fine and has no problem with me?"

Lisa took a deep breath and the smile returned to her face.

Sura was startled, suddenly thinking of Lisa's identity, and felt a little regretful for a moment. He only thought that Lisa was a core member of the Magic Association, but subconsciously forgot that her home country was the Kingdom of Thalia.

Between the country and the inheritance of her master, she probably still values ​​her motherland.

Sula suddenly became uninterested and didn't want to say anything.

Perhaps he is the only one who cares about the purity of the Magic Empire. In the eyes of the teacher. Rebuilding the empire is more important than anything else. As for whether this empire is still the Magic Empire in people's cognition, he no longer cares.

There is magic, there is an empire, this is the Magic Empire.

Looking at Sura's lost expression, Lisa knew what he was thinking, and she quickly stood up and blocked Sura.

"Sura, I am both an official of Talia and a core member of the Magic Association. I don't want everyone's interests to be damaged."

Sura smiled and didn't speak. The confluence is the result that Lisa wants to see.

However, Lisa's next sentence made him a little stunned.

"I want to have a serious talk with the teacher. The Magic Empire had the opportunity to reach the top but missed it. It is very difficult to rise again. I just hope that the teacher will not be swallowed by obsession."

Sura's lips trembled with excitement. Lisa's words touched his heart. Compared with the purity of the Magic Empire, he was more worried about Anthony.

Some words are impolite to say, but they are true. Teacher Anthony's ability cannot bear such ambitions. If he insists on his own opinion, he will hurt himself sooner or later.

Anthony and Sura and other magicians did not participate in the Battle of White Mountain. But the performance of Sophia and others made Sura understand that the era of the Magic Empire has passed.

Putting aside the monster beyond cognition like Sophia, the performances of Roland, Sif and others are also quite eye-catching.

Such geniuses are very rare even in the era of the Magic Empire where heroes emerge in large numbers, but they appear in large numbers in this era.

This is enough to prove that this era belongs to extraordinary people rather than magicians.

Magic pattern engraving can create a new magic army, but these people only have immediate combat power and do not have much potential.

Although it is bitter, Sura, who was once high-spirited, realized that it is impossible to rebuild the Magic Empire. If the Magic Association wants to save itself, it can only choose the savior they think of and then assist them with all their heart.

Holding the right thigh is also a way to win.

Before the ruins of the empire were discovered, Anthony also thought so, but now his mind has changed.

Lisa and Sura talked for a long time and basically understood Anthony's mentality.

After Sura said goodbye and left, looking at Lisa's fiery eyes, Roland gave up the idea of ​​persuading her to give up.

"Roland, why don't you persuade me?" Lisa was a little curious.

"Sister, if you listen to my advice and turn back, you will often regret this in the future. Rather than regretting, I hope to face it side by side with you."

Looking at Roland's calm expression, Lisa's originally somewhat irritable mood improved a lot.

She pondered for a moment and made the final decision.

"Roland, let me go in by myself. I can talk to the teacher alone about some things, but it will be different if you are present."

She raised her hand to stop Roland's protest and took out a talisman and gave it to Roland.

"If I really need to break through, I will crush the talisman, and you must come to save me."

Lisa's attitude was firm, and Roland couldn't object.

It's only a few hundred meters from the magic tower to the Garden of Eden, but it may be their longest journey.

Seeing Roland's reluctant expression, Lisa smiled and comforted him: "Roland, don't worry too much. I know the teacher. Even if we have different ideas, he won't hurt me."

"Even if we can't be allies, at least we shouldn't be enemies."

Roland took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lisa, as long as Anthony doesn't hurt you and doesn't hinder us, I can support the reconstruction of the Magic Empire, but I won't harm the interests of me and my allies."

This is his biggest concession, allowing the Magic Empire to join as a new big player and share the quota with the Kingdom of Talia.

But the Magic Empire can't make up for it from the countries of the Rodinia Alliance.

If they want a vast territory, they can go to the South Continent and the New Continent.

Magic Tower.

This super-tall building with a height of several hundred meters is really ahead of its time, but it is just a piece of cake compared to the super magic towers of several thousand meters during the Magic Empire.

And this magic tower is already the tallest magic tower owned by the Magic Association.

The height of the magic tower is just a microcosm, but it truly reflects the decline of the Magic Empire.

Lisa took a deep breath and walked towards the magic tower. The guard this time was not the middle-aged magician just now, but an orthodox magician from the Magic Association.

The great magician Ronin knew Lisa, and knew that she was the most trusted disciple of Master Anthony.

He did not say anything, but just made an invitation gesture to Lisa.

"Miss Lisa, Master Anthony is waiting for you."

"Who was that person just now?" Lisa did not care about the identity of the middle-aged magician, but she could not act indifferent.

She had to pretend to care.

"Torimu, an artificial magic pattern magician, a famous playboy in Lazio, but a real waste that even you and Roland don't know."

Ronin thought of Lisa's identity, and some words stopped abruptly.

After obtaining magic power, these noble magicians did not think about how to explore the mysteries of magic, but greedily used magic power to help enjoy themselves.

Although the potential of magic pattern magicians is not as good as that of orthodox magicians, it is not impossible to improve. Their strength improvement speed is not inferior to that of orthodox magicians. What they lose is only the magic perception and control ability.

They are like the top-level characters in online games that appear to be very powerful, but in fact their understanding of magic is far inferior to that of an orthodox magician.

As long as these people can be patient and study hard, they may achieve success, but they choose to enjoy themselves.

Ronin was quite critical of this. Before Lisa entered the tower, he finally couldn't help but whispered:

"Lisa, if you have a chance, persuade your teacher. The number of places for magic pattern engraving is limited, and at least one-third of it has been wasted now. Alas."

Lisa nodded to show that she understood. She didn't look back, but strode up and reached the top floor through the teleportation array.

The structure of the magic tower is completely different from other buildings.

The structure of the magic tower itself is a cone-shaped cylinder with a thick bottom and a thin top, but a very wide outer floating circular building emerges at the top of the cone.

This is the top floor of the magic tower.

The top floor of the Lazio Magic Tower is wider than you can imagine.

Standing on the top platform, overlooking the entire city, it really feels like being high up in the clouds.

If I were a teacher, I would probably find it difficult to resist this temptation. Lisa roughly grasped the mentality of teacher Anthony and had already had a plan for how to persuade him.

When she walked to Anthony's magic library, the thick door automatically opened, and the magic puppet stood at the door to greet her.

Lisa walked into the library. Before she arrived, a crisp laugh came over.

"Teacher, I haven't been here for a few months. Your home is getting more and more luxurious."

When Lisa stood in front of him, Anthony's expression was slightly stunned.

He could not see any mockery in Lisa's eyes. This was a serious compliment.

He was afraid that Lisa would play the emotional card again, so he said in a deep voice: "Lisa, a lot of things have happened recently. Sura should have told you, right?"

"Yeah."

"Lisa, I don't have a choice. Rebuilding the Magic Empire is my oath to open the ruins of the empire. I must do it."

Anthony's eyes drifted out the window. He didn't look at Lisa because he didn't tell the truth completely.

His oath was to keep the fire of the Magic Empire and strive for a seat for the Magic Empire in the new era.

His original plan was to occupy a pit in the new era through Lisa and Roland, but he found the blood essence stone left by a certain chief consul.

The powerful power and clear laws contained in this blood essence stone made Anthony's heart move.

If he could become stronger, who would be willing to assist others?

"Teacher, do you want to rebuild the magic empire?"

Faced with Lisa's question, Anthony chose to remain silent.

At this time, silence is a default.

"Teacher, I understand you. If there is no chance at all, you will not regret giving up. But you saw hope in the ruins, and it would be hard to give up."

She also had this feeling of unwillingness.

Fortunately, she had a good ending.

Thinking of Roland, Lisa's lips slightly raised, and she no longer had any resentment towards the teacher.

She smiled and said, "Teacher, Roland and I are willing to support you with all our strength, but the territory of the new magic empire cannot be expanded to the Rodinia countries."

Anthony raised his eyebrows, clenched his strong hands suddenly, and then slowly loosened them.

"The Association and the Kingdom of Talia are both members of the Rodinia Alliance. How could they attack their allies? Please tell Roland that our target is the Southern Continent." (End of this chapter)
