It was different from the house that he had lived in for more than three years but had no choice but to leave. Now, the atmosphere was so tense that he was about to collapse. The group of people who did not know and did not care about the situation finally arrived at Wulian City. It was also the first time Lin saw a house that he had bought for almost three years but had never lived in.
The family of the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, who was on good terms with him, stood at the gate to welcome them. Because the two girls had been here once and lived there for a while because of the apprentice test, they were familiar with the environment. Plus, all the furniture in the house was ready. They only needed to move the things in and everything would be settled. So they did not spend too much time in this aspect.
The more troublesome thing was the placement of the two big dogs. Fortunately, there was a large warehouse in the corner of the backyard. Lin decided to renovate the place into an extra-large doghouse for the two big dogs. As for the problem of the animals' exercise, it was left to the two people who had said they would take care of them. Every day, they would take turns to walk the dogs outside the city. This request was not to be questioned.
The caravan belonging to the Association, after moving the personal belongings of Lin and the others out of the car, hurriedly left to prepare for the next shipment.
Looking at the small mountain of luggage piled up in the courtyard, this was not a big problem for the mages. The three of them used the Light Weight Spell and the Giant Strength Spell. They did not even need the help of the manager's family to move everything into the house.
It was not that Fen did not want to help, but she was afraid that if she did, it would be shocking. So Lin strongly requested that the former Demon King play with her coffin obediently and not cause any trouble.
The reason for this concern was that there was something that should be done, but had not been done for a long time, but now it was right in front of them. And it seemed that there was no reason not to do it. That was the matter of Fen Tikal logging in at the Association.
Was she trying to show her identity as the former Demon King and now a Lich who had just been resurrected? This was the common opinion of both Lin and Fen.
Living openly under the sun was a very normal thing for most people. For Lin, he had never thought of hiding any secrets. Even his identity as from Earth was not a fact that needed to be hidden.
There were many visitors from other worlds in the Mystic Land. He was not the first, and would not be the last. Most people didn't know because no one asked, and he was too lazy to tell them. Therefore, he never thought of hiding Fen's identity from others.
To Fen, most of her past experiences were byproducts of her revenge, so she didn't feel any guilt. She was just taking back what others owed her and adding some interest.
Even if she did feel a little apologetic, the Bravehearts had killed her and sealed her for a thousand years. She did not think that she owed the world anything. Wanting to live under the sun was a very natural thing.
Of course, all of this had to take into consideration whether the majority of the people would accept it. It was just like how the two girls treated Lin Sanjiu when Fen was resurrected. Lin Sanjiu had not forgotten how the two girls treated her.
For a Lich who had once ruled over the world, and was even the only human in the known history of the mysterious land to be crowned as the Demon King, and he had even killed a fallen God. She didn't need to show any hostility. She only needed to exist to make people feel threatened.
How to convince the majority to accept such a person, or at the very least, to stop talking about the crusade against the Demon King, was a difficult problem.
But it was not without benefits. Before the others were fully prepared, no one would dare to provoke the former Demon King. This would make the whole world much quieter, and there would be fewer flies and mosquitoes.
What about hiding her identity before her resurrection and starting a new life as a mage? This was the most stable option, but the disadvantage was Fen's beauty. If she didn't have the corresponding strength, her face would be a disaster.
And it was conceivable that in the future, there was an 80% chance that she would end up in the same predicament that Lin had encountered before. People who were greedy for her beauty would come to her door, annoy her, or force a certain Lich into a corner, and then explode and die. As a former Demon King, he had already experienced these kinds of things before, so he was heading towards a bad ending. Fen didn't want to experience it again after being resurrected inexplicably.
She didn't want to enter the Society of Sorcerers' system and become an unregistered member. This was just a suggestion, and it was never a consideration.
Not to mention that she had to register if she wanted to use the Society's resources. Being able to enter the Society of Sorcerers' system was the first step to being accepted. And as long as she took the first step, it would be easy to move forward.
If she was satisfied with being an unregistered member, it would be easy for her to be like a mouse. It would be fine if no one saw her, but if she was exposed in front of everyone, they would definitely want to kill her. Everyone's intuition was that no matter if it was the former Demon King or the Lich hiding in the shadows, there was definitely an unspeakable conspiracy. In this situation, they would fight first and talk later.
If the situation became like this, Fen might have to start killing and conquering the world again.
Simply put, the three considerations were: being feared by others as a Demon King, but there was the possibility of being attacked by humans; pretending to be an ordinary mage, but it was easy for her to attract bees and butterflies because of her beauty, which was also troublesome; finally, being an unregistered member, but as long as she was exposed, the counterattack might be even more powerful.
Thus, these considerations were not for reputation, nor were they for benefits. They were purely thinking about the situation with the least amount of trouble. If Fen was just an ordinary mage, or even an ordinary person, with her beauty and body, she could live a comfortable life for a few years. Unfortunately, she was not, and her personality did not want to do so.
The two of them discussed for a long time, but they could not come to a conclusion. Fen did not want to be enemies with the world again, but sometimes these things could not be avoided just because one did not want to.
In the end, Lin chose to fight a confusing battle. He brought Fen to the North Tower to register. Because the registration and migration of mages in the Society of Sorcerers was very simple, he had Fen fill in her full name. At the same time, she filled in the "Great Mage" column. The more difficult part was the "Race" column. Should she fill in "Human" or "Lich"?
Strictly speaking, Fen was no longer a human. Her current appearance was actually a perfect physical body constructed using magic. This meant that her body was like a skeleton, and the ratio of the eight powers was in a perfect state. It was not perfect on the surface. And her appearance could be changed at any time. According to her, her current appearance was the same as when she was a human. But who knew? She was a woman.
Would other people associate her name with the demon king from a thousand years ago? This was not something he could control. Whether or not she was a Lich or had the strength of a Great Mage, the Society of Sorcerers had their own way of testing. But don't expect too much from the efficiency of this era. Just wait for the notice.
But the Society of Sorcerers had improved. Originally, applicants had to stay near the headquarters and pay attention to the Society of Sorcerers' announcements at all times so as not to miss the agreed test. From Lin's point of view, it was more like an interview. — Date. Now, applicants had to fill in the email address, and a new message delivery channel would be used to notify them as soon as possible.
If they were not allowed to go, as long as they replied immediately, they could set another time. This saved applicants from the predicament of being tied up near the headquarters, unable to leave, and only able to wait.
The work of moving back to Wulian City had come to an end, and all the things to be done had been preliminarily dealt with. Next, would he have to worry about how to cultivate powers and advance on the path of magic? Impossible!
Perhaps when he first learned the nature of powers from Fen, he had a lot of confusion and confusion. But now that he thought about it, it was unnecessary. Now he somewhat understood why the Lich, the former demon king, was reluctant to talk about this topic at the beginning. It was because without reaching a certain height, there were many things that couldn't be done.
In Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, it was written: Governing a country is like cooking a small fish. For Lin, cook my ass. So what if a commoner knows how to govern a country? Is there a country for him to govern? Then what was the difference between saying this sentence and playing the lute to a cow?
Perhaps some people would say that one should look at the big picture and learn the spirit, not the symbol of the appearance. When he first read this article in class, Lin remembered a local ruffian at the entrance of his alley. Every time he drank too much at a hot stir-fry stall, he would always say that he would throw a nuclear bomb at anyone who pissed him off.
He didn't even dare to use a watermelon knife. At most, he would use a baseball bat to fight with his life. However, he would always say that he would throw a nuclear bomb at someone's head. Was he trying to show off in the game?
Of course, it was undeniable that what he learned from Fen gave Lin a clear direction to move forward. Although he didn't know where the path was, at least he knew where he had to go. This was beneficial for his future development.
But that didn't mean that he had to bite off more than he could chew. He had to worry about how to become a demigod when he became a great mage. When he had the power of a demigod, he had to think about how to ignite the godly fire … He was thinking too much and thinking too far ahead.
Right now, he just had to take each step carefully. Didn't you see that the two little disciples who pestered the Lich all day long were on the verge of turning evil? If this era of the mysterious land ushered in another dark army created by the Lich, his two little disciples would definitely be rewarded greatly.
Let's not talk about the slim hope of returning home first. If this continued, he might have to go back to his hometown early. Therefore, Lin began to think of ways to divert his attention. Coincidentally, there was something that he wanted to do ever since he started to go on adventures as an apprentice, but he didn't have the time nor the ability to do it. Now was an appropriate time for him to change his mood.
He told the girls to lock the heavy and expensive items that were not suitable for traveling into the cabinets. He also prepared the necessary items and food for the trip. Most importantly, he had to bring a big bag of Kiel, which was also gold coins. This time, his destination was a small mountain village less than a day's journey to the north of Wulian City.
It wasn't considered an adventure. There weren't any magic beasts wreaking havoc there. At most, there were some wild beasts that destroyed the crops. In other words, this trip was more like a walk in nature. He wanted to wash away all the grievances that he had suffered in the past few days.
