In the southern part of the new continent, in the depths of the chaotic region of Cabral, there was a Deadwood Swamp with a harsh environment and danger lurking everywhere.
A majestic black tower was faintly discernible in the strange colored mist. The outer walls of the tower were like solidified black wax, sealing the human faces within.
If one were to get closer, one could even faintly hear strange cries and howls.
The chief of the 'School of Curses', the 'Death Messenger', stood in the exclusive floor of the tower master and quietly looked at the northern sky outside the window. With the help of the sorcerer tower's power, the pair of old eyes that were brimming with spiritual light easily pierced through the mist in the swamp.
"Grace, where are you?"
"Jaime! Jaime! That's great, we've escaped! "
“.....”
The New Granada Vice-King District was located on the southern shore of the Golden Sea, adjacent to the northern border of Cabral. It was also the Shilius colony closest to the New Shilius Vice-King District.
During the counterattack launched by the Tulip Family, some of the well-informed, well-equipped, and lucky people of the New Shilius Vice-Royal District managed to escape here with their families. Of course, there were even more people who didn't even have the right to escape.
The meaning of the phrase 'no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned' was vividly displayed.
These people of Shilius seemed to have encountered the end of the world. Screams and cries could be heard incessantly. Panic had also spread rapidly in the various colonies of Shilius along with the migration of war refugees.
However, the 'Death Messenger' who was supposed to be on the same side as them had a faint smile on his face.
Turning around, in the center of the completely cleared floor in front of him, there was an extremely complicated giant ritual set up.
In the center of the ritual was a thick and gorgeous' Triple Crown of Golden Olives'. That was the supreme crown that represented the Holy Lothar Empire and the Shilius Empire's emperors!
In order to ensure that Shilius's position as the supreme emperor would remain unchanged for all eternity, Philip II had solemnly entrusted this important crown to the School of Curses three years ago.
The purpose was to use the [Legendary Warship – Sea King], which had just been launched and used to make glorious achievements, to collect the spiritual feedback of all humans and turn this crown into a [Man-made Divine Artifact] created by gathering the psychic power of humans!
After wearing this' Triple Crown of Golden Olives', one would be able to transform into the First King and a nominal sovereign of the human world, obtaining a powerful strength that surpassed that of a Titled Knight.
This was also a magical method that the 'School of Curses' had offered to Shilius, allowing a Titled Knight to escape the fate of the church's' thug 'and become a chess player!
Theoretically, the more stable the perception that Shilius was the strongest country in the world was, the more powerful the crown would be.
Clearly, Philip II wasn't the only one behind this plan. There was also the shadow of the ancestor of the royal family, the guardian of the kingdom, the 'supreme knight'.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with this incomplete artifact.
Buds … buds …
For some reason, busted busted top of Shilius Shilius of the Shilius, Shilius of Curses the Shilius. Viscous black air kept flowing out and converging into an illusory black gem above the ritual.
The gem was pure black without any reflection, but it eerily emitted a deep black light that dyed half of the floor pitch-black.
It was as if the fear and unwillingness of human death and the end of all things had condensed into a visible substance.
Obviously, this was the final creation of the 'School of Curses' and the collection of Ultimate Knowledge, the gem known as' Black Olof '. Known as the source of all curses in the world, the unsolvable curse, the powerful existence that even demigods could not resist!
"Hehe, I still underestimated Shilius. As the leader of the two hundred years of great navigation, his national power and influence on the material world have long exceeded expectations.
Prosperity is relative, and there's nothing wrong with it now. "
His eyes turned pitch-black, and the smile on Death Messenger's face gradually bloomed. The corner of his mouth split open to the roots of his ears. It was evil and terrifying.
Indeed.
Of course, no one in this world understood the power of the medium better than the 'School of Curses'. Therefore, although they did not lie to Philip II, they did not fully explain to him that the power obtained by gathering the masses would bring great benefits, but it also contained endless risks.
Being condemned by the masses would lead to nothing. The betrayal of all believers could send a demigod into the abyss. This' Man-Made Artifact 'was the same.
When Shilius's national fortune declined, when humans no longer recognized it as the strongest country in the world, the power of the backlash would follow, turning into the nutrients needed for the birth of Black Olof.
They originally wanted to harvest the empire when it was at its strongest, giving it a gentle push to obtain the strongest power after the fall of the empire. However, they did not expect that after an unexpected war, the empire's name would collapse so quickly.
Now that the hearts of the colonists in the new continent were shaken, it was the beginning of the empire's decline. It was clearly shown in this ritual authorized by Philip II.
Obviously, the people who wanted the Shilius Empire, the strongest country in the world, to fall were not just the second prince, Faletis, and the traitorous Frisia. The 'School of Curses', the strongest supernatural foreign aid, also harbored evil intentions from the beginning!
Because in the supernatural world, chaos was the source of power for some supernatural professions.
Now, even if the power of the old continent was temporarily balanced, the supernatural professions that were accepted were mainly the 'School of Alchemy', 'School of Gems', 'School of Prophecy', 'School of Viscera', and so on. They could be called 'Light Sorcerers' or 'Neutral Sorcerers' and were beneficial to human society as a whole.
The path itself had the tendency to destroy society, and the dark sorcerers still had to live in the shadows.
If it weren't for the fact that Shilius was in dire need of supernatural powers with great combat strength from the outside world to fight against the clergies of the Primordial Church of the Eternal Fire, he wouldn't have made an exception and accepted the dark wizards of the School of Curses.
Of course.
As a qualified emperor, Philip II was not stupid at all, and he would not casually believe the infamous' School of Curses'. Four years ago, when Andon came to join him, he had made the strictest spiritual contract with them.
During the period when they served Shilius, the 'School of Curses' could not do anything to harm Shilius in any way, and they could not lie to Philip II. Therefore, Grand Sorcerer Andon naturally became the emperor's most trusted aide.
In the past few years, the 'School of Curses' had indeed done their best.
In order to 'live under the sun', the most powerful existence among the dark sorcerers in the new continent seemed to have really turned into a loyal dog in the hands of Philip II, vowing to send Shilius to the throne of the world's number one.
In the tragic 'religious war', close to a quarter of the official sorcerers were lost. The materials and construction of the [Legendary Battleship – Sea King] were all taken over by the 'School of Curses'. In the end, even the 'Death Messenger', the first seat of the 'School of Curses', went into battle to help the 'School of Curses'.
Although the result was that the 'School of Curses' was not that they did not want to save the 'School of Curses'.
However, it was true that the 'School of Curses' did not violate the contract.
"Then … There's no need to do anything else. All that's left is to wait quietly. When the great Shilius Empire falls from its divine altar, it will be the time when [Black Olof] descends into this world! Hmm … "
At this moment.
Puff!
A thin gray mist suddenly spurted out from the nose of the 'Death Messenger', like blood, and then dissipated into the air.
Malicious intentions, deliberate concealment, and taking the opportunity to fill his own pockets. Although it did not trigger the strong countermeasure of the spiritual contract, it was not without a price.
Of course.
When both sides were scheming against each other, the ancestors of the 'School of Curses' who played tricks and schemes would not be so honest.
The person in charge was all the Grade 3 sorcerers in the 'School of Curses'. The final executor of the contract was a powerful existence in the Spiritual Realm, enough to ensure that the Grade 3 Transcendents did not have the ability to resist the contract.
However, they borrowed the power of [Mysterious Source – Black Olof] to force the contract to deviate, spreading the consequences to all the members of the 'School of Curses', borrowing the strength of the entire 'School of Curses' to resist the backlash.
As long as the Shilius Empire's decline was fast enough, the entire 'School of Curses' would welcome their own rebirth!
Contract? He, he …
.....
The capital of the Sack Empire's southern continent, Saint Louis City, the prince's manor.
Da ….. Da ….. Da …..
Diana was wearing a peacock green deep V silk evening dress and diamond studded high heels as she walked down the golden corridor.
Her snow-white long legs were faintly discernible under her dress. Her exquisite and curvaceous body was just like the [Frenzy Potion] that could drive anyone crazy. Her charm was so condensed that it was almost tangible. Even the maids she met along the way were a little shaken.
When she came to the heavily guarded prince's study, prince Clement's guard, the Knight, slightly held his chest to Diana.
"Princess, his highness is currently receiving a special envoy from the mainland, it's related to ….. Shilius."
"Alright, I understand."
His voice was lazy and slightly hoarse like a cat's, intoxicating like a mellow red wine. His natural ability to enter and leave the important military and political areas of the Empire at will was even more astonishing.
After the "Battle of Benin" several years ago allowed the Sack Empire to benefit, Diana was given the title of Countess with the help of prince Clement.
Now, the blood related younger brother of the Sack Empire's emperor, the already fifty six year old playboy prince Clement had eaten some kind of bewitching potion, actually officially marrying this witch called the "Dual Nature God Farnes" who was a spy for the 'School of Curses'.
This playboy never followed the rules and the Sack Empire's emperor had already given up on him. His only request was for him to leave behind descendants and continue the bloodline of the royal family.
After three years, Diana actually became one of the core members of the royal family of Sack, a powerful country on the continent.
When she was about to open the door to her husband's study, the charming lady suddenly had blood flowing out of her nose and mouth.
When no one was paying attention, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her nose and mouth before giving a sigh.
"Ai! Is it about to begin? Shilius, husband, school of curses ….. "
