His Majesty Girard had chosen his Empress!
Lilian Spade had become the new Empress of the Irus Empire!
Alinx celebrated for three days! Congratulations came from all sides!
A shocking piece of news was passed from Alinx to Ellington. Before the stunned Tang En could figure out why Girard had chosen his Empress, another piece of news came.
The Cardier family had secretly taken over a large number of the Spade family's shops, and the Spade family had become a mere figurehead.
After many confirmations, Tang En could only accept this fact in disbelief — the Cardier family had actually made a move against the Spade family.
Tang En was very puzzled. "Aren't they all part of the aristocratic party? Besides, the Spade family has just become a relative of the royal family and is at the peak of their power. Why would the Cardier family choose to make a move at this time? "
Aurelia said coldly, "Other than Girard's orders, there can't be any other reason."
"It's obvious that the Cardier family is completely on Girard's side. They are related to the Dark Serpent that has taken control of Girard."
Tang En perked up and began to reason. "The Spade family is the richest family in the empire, but they did not join the Dark Serpent, so they became their first target. By making the Spade family a figurehead, the Cardier family can obtain a large amount of wealth and mines. The magic metals produced from these wealth and mines will be a great help to the Dark Serpent. At the same time, it will also allow Girard's army to obtain a large amount of supplies and greatly increase their combat power."
Fiona said with a gloomy expression, "It will take some time for the magic metals excavated from the mines to be converted into combat power for the army, but the Spade family's large amount of wealth will undoubtedly allow Girard to have no scruples in the upcoming war!"
"That's right."
Aurelia nodded. "When father was alive, the treasury was empty, so he could not afford to raise so many soldiers. The average combat power of the Third Legion was even lower than that of Duke Yabaron's army. Even Martani had obtained a large amount of wealth from the prosperous port trade, so the combat power of his army was guaranteed."
"Sure enough, the longer this drags on, the more troublesome it will be."
Tang En sighed and said, "Inform Aubrey and tell him to start with the Cardier family. Didn't Morton already reveal some information? Perhaps we can dig out some clues from them. "
As soon as Tang En sent the news back, he heard another important piece of information.
The armies of Grand Duke Martani and Grand Duke Abaron had already merged in Quillin Town. After arriving at Alinx, Girard would set off with the army to Taris!
"This guy really knows how to cause trouble …"
Tang En had a headache. This kind of internal war was the last thing he wanted to see. However, the Dark Serpent was obviously going against him. They wouldn't stop until they started a war.
"This might be a good opportunity."
At this time, Aurelia said, "We can't find any information about the Dark Serpent in Alinx, probably because of the Radiant Church. But after Girard left Alinx, the Dark Serpent's people are likely to appear. When that time comes, we can directly capture the leader."
"That better be the case."
Tang En gnashed his teeth in hatred. "The Dark Serpent is simply a troublemaker. I can't stand it anymore. Hurry up and drag them out and kill them."
After returning from the underground world, the Dark Serpent had not stopped buzzing around like flies. If they hadn't hidden so well, Tang En would have destroyed them long ago.
In the afternoon, Jean, who had returned to the City of Silver to tidy up, finally returned to Ellington. He was in an unusually sorry state.
"How did you end up like this?"
Tang En stared at the unkempt Jean, dumbfounded. If he hadn't already known him, he wouldn't have believed that this guy in front of him was a famous legendary hero.
"Didn't I just tell them that I wanted to come to Ellington to personally teach Elijah magic? It's not a big deal. But in the end, they all forgot their identities and rushed up to hug my legs, crying and shouting that they wouldn't let me go!"
Jean complained with a bellyful of complaints. "Besides, I'm not going to stay here permanently. As long as I'm sure that Elijah's talent hasn't been ruined by you, I'll naturally go back. All of them crying and making a fuss. Are they still little brats? "
Fiona and Aurelia felt that the solemn image of the City of Silver in their hearts had completely collapsed.
"Come, come, come! Hurry up and find me a place! "
Jean had already adjusted his mood and was eager to get into the zone. "I've got all the beginner magic textbooks. I need a quiet place to categorize and store them, and then let the little girl learn step by step!"
Tang En's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said, "I don't have much space here, but there's a place that fits your requirements. Come with me."
Tang En took Jean to the newly completed Ellington Academy. The Ellington Academy hadn't started school yet. Olina, Pamela, and the others were cleaning the campus with the help of the wind and water elementals. After greeting them, Tang En directly took Jean to the academy's library. At the moment, the library was still empty.
"The Ellington Academy is about to start school. This is the academy's library. In my design, this is a place to store all kinds of books and let the students learn."
Tang En pointed around and then pointed up. "But there's a floor above that I don't intend to open. I think it's better to store the magic books on that floor. If you want to teach Elijah, you can also let her go there."
"The defense here is a bit weak."
Jean frowned slightly. "There's no warning magic, no defense magic, and even … Wait! You can't be saying that this is just an ordinary library, right? "
"Yes, it's just an ordinary library."
Jean's face turned red. "Damn it — I want a Mage Tower! Even if it's not a Mage Tower, it's at least an energy node full of magic! How can this place be a magic palace! "
Tang En said righteously, "I didn't expect that as a legendary hero, you're still so constrained by appearances."
"What!?"
Tang En pointed to the sky and the ground, and said solemnly, "Wherever I am, I am the world."
Jean was immediately intimidated.
"A real magician, even in an area where magic is exhausted, will not stop exploring the mysteries of magic. Mage Tower? Energy node? Those are all external objects. If you can't get rid of your dependence on those things, how can you become a great magician? "
Looking at the righteous Tang En, Jean felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Twain lowered his eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. "Of course. Although this isn't the Magus Tower, it was already the Magus Tower when we came in … Follow me."
Jean scratched his head and followed Tang En to the empty second floor. There were no books on the bookshelves around, and the circular hall in the center was also empty. Jean nodded and said, "No one will disturb us here. It's a very good place to learn. As for security and privacy … I think this place is very suitable for setting up a magic array. What do you think?"
Tang En rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then he nodded. "That's true, but compared to a magic array, I think this place is more suitable for building a source of magic."
The source of magic, according to the introduction in the game, was a special alchemy building in the territory. Within the range of the source of magic, the recovery speed of magic would be greatly increased, and at the same time, the affinity of magic would be improved. It had unimaginable benefits for the learning and cultivation of magic. Most importantly, after the source of magic was built, the probability of children with magic talent being born in the territory would be greatly increased.
Now that they were in the real Prandal, although the effect of the source of magic was not quantified, its function would certainly not be much worse.
Of course, building a source of magic was not so easy. Those rare materials were easily worth tens of millions of gold coins, and even had a price but no market. They were extremely difficult to collect.
"Magic source?"
Jean was stunned. "Are you crazy? Do you know how difficult it is to collect the materials to build a source of magic? The Starmoon Tower relied on the concerted efforts of many magicians to gather enough materials to build one. I don't have so many materials for you to waste! It's simply impossible to build a source of magic on your own! "
Tang En laughed heartily. "The materials are not a problem."
There was nothing else in his portable space, but piles of rare magic materials, waiting to come in handy at such a time.
"Don't talk big."
Jean snorted. "Just the standard unit of Auguín is already —"
As soon as Jean's voice trailed off, Tang En took out an Auguín ingot and slapped it on the table. "Is it enough?"
Jean's eyes widened. He touched the Auguín ingot and felt the conduction of magic in it. He was surprised. "The purity is so high!"
"Nonsense, of course."
Jean saw his smug look and became angry. "If you have the ability, take out another roll of Eternium Thread. Without the conduction and restraint effect of Eternium Thread, the source of magic — "
With a bang, Tang En slapped a roll of Eternium Thread on the table.
"— Magic Essence?"
"Pa! Is it enough? "
"Hiss — Gods above! Where did you get such a large amount of Magic Essence!? "
Jean looked at the fist-sized piece of Magic Essence and couldn't help but tremble. Such a large amount of Magic Essence could be used as the core of a super-large magic array! Its value was immeasurable! To use it on a source of magic
"Guess?"
Tang En glanced at Jean. If he wanted to use the power of his subordinates in the future, of course, he had to subdue him now. How could he not let him see his strength?
Next, Tang En took out more than ten rare materials, and soon the table was full.
The colorful elemental light illuminated the whole hall. Looking at the treasures on the table, Jean couldn't help but swallow. Now he had the urge to take these things and run away …
