"What?"
Masmo was shocked. "Didn't I say that the competition is to ensure the safety of the mages? You also know that training mages is different from training warriors. Mages above the cyan level are ten times more valuable than warriors of the same level. "
If Landier was his subordinate, this Emperor Masmo would probably have started scolding him.
Landier smiled bitterly. "Of course I understand. It's just that no one could have predicted what happened. In today's semi-finals, the one who received the number one token was a spiritual mage. Those six people were all killed by him. He killed them in the first and last match. "
Masmo froze for a moment. Hearing the words "spiritual mage", he felt a bit more comforted. The Milanese Empire had a spiritual mage, Ferguson. He had always been jealous of him. On the battlefield, a spiritual-type Grand Magus had too much of a restraining effect on the opponent.
"Then what level is he? To be able to receive the number one token, he should be at least a mid-tier blue level. Oh, no, spiritual mages are a bit more special. Or, is he a low-tier blue level? "
Landier shook his head. "No, neither."
Masmo frowned. "Could he be a high-tier cyan level?"
His tone was filled with disappointment. No matter how strong a spiritual mage was, a cyan level wouldn't be very useful.
Landier said in a low voice, "This person only displayed his true strength in the last match. He is a low-tier purple level spiritual mage. Also, when he killed his opponent in the last match, he used the Great Prophecy Spell. "
"What?"
Masmo suddenly stood up from his seat. It could be said that there were very few things that could make this hero of a generation so surprised. But Landier's words had stirred up a huge wave in his heart. Spirit Grand Magus. And he even knew the Great Prophecy Spell that only the master of the Faran Ancient Soul Tower could use. Masmo could feel his heart trembling. Trembling with excitement. Compared to this kind of super mage, what did the deaths of six normal mages count for? At this moment. Masmo felt that the Landier in front of him was extremely adorable, and the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed.
Why couldn't the Landias and Bobon Alliance break through Milan's defensive line with each city as the base when they outnumbered Milan? It wasn't that the soldiers of the two countries weren't elite enough. There were two problems that stopped them from advancing. Under the command of Marshal Seedorf, Milan's Southern Legion relied on the advantage of the city and did not come out. There was another point. It was because of the Magicians of the Milanese Empire.
In terms of overall national strength, there was little difference between Landias and Milan, but in terms of training reserve forces, the two sides had different development routes. The Landias Empire had a lot of talented martial artists, which was why there were so many Cyan Level and above martial artists emerging in this Civil and Martial Tournament. The Milanese Empire's strength lay in its mages. Milan had far more mages than Landias, both in terms of quantity and quality.
If it was a head-on clash. With a large number of strong martial artists. Perhaps Landias would not suffer too much, especially when their military strength far exceeded the opponent. But defending the city was different. With the defense of the thick city walls, the power of the mages could be exerted to the limit. No matter how strong the martial artists were, they could not cooperate and complement each other. But the mages could rely on large-scale magic to carry out a storm-like attack on the martial artists who were attacking the city. In front of the mages of the Milanese Empire, Landias lost countless men.
Masmo could still clearly remember a battle report. In a siege battle. In a city of the Milanese Empire that was not well defended, only relying on the Spirit Grand Magister Ferguson. He completely suppressed a hundred mages of Landias. Together with the attacks of other mages, it made Landias unable to successfully attack the city even though they had five times the strength of the opponent.
The lack of mages could be said to be a worry for Masmo, especially the Spirit Magician who could limit the opponent's mages to the greatest extent on the battlefield. He had also issued an order to the entire country and even the allied countries. But unfortunately, the number of Spirit Magicians was too little, and there were even fewer high level ones. Even the Milanese Empire only had one Spirit Grand Magister. Even if he had more power, it was useless if he could not find the person.
And at this moment, Landier had undoubtedly given Masmo a shot of adrenaline. When he heard Landier say that a Spirit Grand Magister had appeared in the magic competition, the first thought in his mind was how to make this person stay and work for him. If he could have such a mage join him, it would not be difficult to break through Milan's defense. He just had to break through one point first. Then. This was the power to wipe out a thousand troops. No matter how strong Seedorf was, he would not be able to stop Landias's advance. Furthermore. This was a Spirit Magician who was even more terrifying than Ferguson, a Great Prophecy Spell.
Masmo was not the only one who was shocked. Crespo and Cruz, the two military leaders, were also shocked.
Their thoughts were almost the same as Emperor Masmo's. In a short period of time, the eyes of the three middle-aged men burned with excitement.
"Your Majesty, please calm down first. Listen to what I have to say. "
Landier said sternly.
Masmo thought to himself. You brought me such a big piece of news, how can I calm down? Although that was what he was thinking, he was still the most outstanding Emperor in Landias's history. His expression became much calmer. "Master Landier. If it is really as you say, and this person can be used by the Empire, then. You will be the greatest hero of the Empire. "
Landier said, "Your Majesty, strength is a double-edged sword. If he can be used by us, of course, it is for the best. But you also know that most mages have strange tempers, especially powerful ones. As far as I know, to train in Spirit Magic, one must first be able to endure loneliness. Also, this person is too strange. I hope that Your Majesty can carefully investigate his situation. "
Masmo nodded and said, "I can understand this. Master Randhir, please tell me more about this Magician. "
Landier said, "Before I came, I carefully looked through the registration files. This person is from the Kingdom of Arcadia, and his name is Ye Su. He is registered in the Kingdom of Arcadia, and is only a beginner Magician. "
"Wait, wait a moment. Master Landier, I think I need to interrupt you for a moment. "
Cruz's resolute face revealed an expression that he had not shown for decades. His mouth was so wide that at least five eggs could be stuffed in at the same time.
Masmo said unhappily, "Cruz, can't you wait a moment?"
In his eyes, at least at this moment, there was nothing more important than the news of the Spirit Element Grand Magus.
Cruz laughed bitterly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What I want to say is also related to this person. If Master Landier had not spoken first, I would have reported to you about this young man as well. In the second round of the civil competition, the answers he gave were almost perfect. At least, I admit that I am not as good as him. I gave the number one card of the civil competition to this young man called Ye Su. "
Although Massimo had the demeanor of an emperor, he couldn't help but stutter at this moment. He looked at Kirrlutz, then at Landier, "Are you telling me that this young man from the Kingdom of Arcadia is not only a powerful Grand Magister, but also has the potential to be an outstanding commander?"
Cruz laughed bitterly, "I can only be sure of one thing. This young man is definitely not an armchair strategist. According to the questions I gave him, the answers he gave included frontal attacks, side attacks, logistical supplies, and complementing each other. Almost all the important points were described in detail. I can only say that in terms of military ability, he is a genius. Compared to my niece, he is much better. "
Crespo's complexion turned somewhat unsightly. Cruz thought that Crespo was angry because he said that Clena was inferior to Ye Su, so he hurriedly said, "Big brother, you also know that I never beat around the bush. I will say whatever is on my mind."
Crespo sighed. In front of Massimo, he could be said to be the most authoritative official, as well as the patriarch of the clan. Naturally, his authority was much greater than Cruz's. "Your Majesty, I also support grandmaster Randier's opinion. This youth's origins must be thoroughly investigated. This is because not only did he have outstanding results in the civil and magic competitions, he also participated in the martial competition. Moreover, he was one of the last five to advance. According to Master Landier's statement that he hid his strength, I can't be sure if the blue rank he showed in the martial competition was his true strength. "
Silence. The entire meeting hall fell into complete silence. The four influential figures in the Landias Empire looked at each other and were momentarily speechless.
The silence lasted for a full ten minutes. It was still Cruz who spoke with some difficulty, "Master Landier, didn't you say that there would be a situation where both magic and martial arts are met? Moreover, if I remember correctly, this Ye Su is only in his twenties. "
Landier shook his head blankly, "Lord Marshal, don't ask me. I don't understand it more than you do. "
After these ten minutes of silence, Masmo's mood finally recovered a little. "If you are talking about the same person, then I can only use the word 'all-rounder' to describe him. Regardless of the results of the finals, he is definitely the highlight of this year's civil and military competition with such outstanding strength in all three aspects. It is really hard for me to imagine that such a talent came from the Kingdom of Arcadia. Perhaps it is because he only has the title of a beginner mage that Arcadia did not pay much attention to him. Whatever the three of you have reported today, no one is allowed to speak of it outside of here. Since such an all-rounder has come to our Landias, no matter where he comes from, whether he is a true Arcadian or not, he will forever stay in Landias. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The three of them bowed at the same time.
Masmo said, "Crespo, immediately send people to find this Ye Su's whereabouts. Monitor him twenty-four hours a day, but do not let him find out. Observe all of his actions, and try to find out everything related to him. As for his background, Master Landier, I will have to trouble you. Using magic communication should be the fastest way to get information. "
Landier said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already sent people to contact the Arcadia Kingdom's Magician Guild. I believe there will be news soon. However, it is not difficult to obtain a beginner mage's badge. If he has only been to Arcadia before, it is also possible. Therefore, it is better for Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate his identity. "
Masmo said, "I will, but it is too late before the finals. Alright, you all can leave first. I need some time alone. "
"Yes."
Crespo, Cruz, and Landier bowed and left, while Masmo walked back to his throne and sat down.
"You have heard it all. You should know what to do."
Only Masmo was left in the conference hall. It was as if he was talking to the air.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As you wish, I will immediately send people. Within ten days, I will definitely report back. "
A cold voice came from all directions. When the voice disappeared, the atmosphere in the conference hall seemed to have become a lot fresher.
Walking out of the meeting hall, Crespo asked Randil, "Great Master, do you have any good suggestions for spying on a spirit element grand magus and not letting him discover us?"
Landier smiled faintly. "What is it? Do you think this is an impossible task? "
Crespo smiled bitterly, "What do you think? This was simply impossible to accomplish. I am not a god. Perhaps only Faran has a way. "
Landier shook his head and said with a smile, "Praise Faran. I also have a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to do so. "
Crespo stared blankly and asked, "Grandmaster, what do you mean?"
A look of realization appeared in Cruz's eyes.
Landier said, "Master, do you know who this Ye Su came with to the magic competition?"
Crespo shook his head blankly.
Landier said, "Clena has been learning magic with me since she was young. She is quite talented in both magic and military. His Majesty had secretly instructed me to put Clena in the same group as the strongest when she participated in the magic competition. During the process of entering the top five. Apart from the bye, your precious daughter worked together with that Ye Su. In the final battle, Ye Su used mana sharing to temporarily lend his magic to her. If the opponent didn't give up, perhaps Clena would have used a forbidden spell for the first time. "
"What? You mean Clena? No. This is definitely not possible. I only have one daughter. That kind of person is very dangerous. If he … "
Landier said, "No, that won't happen. Clena specifically asked me to put her in the same group as this Ye Su. She already knows this young man. "
Crespo frowned, "How is that possible? I've never heard of Clena having friends of the opposite sex. "
Cruz said, "Big Brother, Clena has already grown up. From what Master Randhir said, I can prove that he was with Craina in Venby, and. Moreover, Clena even spoke up for him. Although I didn't know to what extent his relationship with Clena had progressed, Clena's gaze when she looked at him was filled with admiration. Perhaps they just met? "
A ray of light suddenly flashed in Crespo's eyes. "I understand. Maybe I know this Ye Su's true identity. "
Landier and Cruz were overjoyed and asked at the same time. "Who is he?"
Crespo said, "So young and so talented. Tell me, what kind of place can raise such an outstanding talent? "
Cruz and Landier looked at each other. He blurted out. "Praise Faran."
… …
"Phoenix, are you asleep?"
If someone were to see Great Emperor Maximo standing at the door, not daring to enter, they would definitely be shocked.
But that was the truth. There was only one place in the entire Landias Empire that could make Massimo so cautious. That was the Luan Feng Palace where Sula was temporarily staying.
"I'm already asleep. Didn't I tell you before? Before the finals. Don't come looking for me. "
A cold voice came from the room. Even though it wasn't the first time he heard it, Massimo couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The fire in his heart also cooled down on the way here.
"Since you're already asleep, Daddy won't go in. But there's something I must tell you. "
Massimo said.
Sula actually wasn't asleep. With her cultivation, she didn't need to sleep. She could recover by meditating for a while.
Why would Massimo come looking for her so late at night, and with a hint of excitement in his voice? What was it? Even though Sula hated Massimo, she was still quite familiar with him. Something that could make him so emotional was definitely not a small matter.
"Go ahead."
Sula said calmly.
Massimo said, "Phoenix, did you know? Our Landias Empire is blessed. Just now, Master Landier and the others reported to me that a strong person has appeared in this year's Civil and Military Tournament. A Spirit Type Grand Mage. It's said that he's only in his twenties. More importantly, this person was not only incredibly talented in magic, but he had also placed first in the second round of the literary competition and fourth in the second round of the martial competition. He had entered the finals of all three competitions. He can be said to be an all-rounder. "
Sula was silent for a while, then calmly said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Massimo hurriedly said, "Of course it has to do with you. I originally thought that no one in this world would be worthy of my daughter. But now, I realize that I was wrong. This young man is really outstanding. Phoenix, I know you hate me, but I sincerely hope that you can find your own happiness. On the day of the finals, you will see for yourself how strong this young man is. I believe that you will pay more attention to him. "
Sula sneered, "Find my own happiness? Do I still have a chance to find my own happiness? You just want me to help you win over a talent. Massimo, you sure have a good plan! "
"You …"
Massimo really didn't know what to say to make his daughter believe him. "How about this, you can decide after you see this person. Perhaps, you might change your mind then. Oh, and if you don't want to get married for real, remember to disguise yourself on the day of the finals to avoid unnecessary trouble. "
Although Massimo had never thought of using Sula to win over "Ye Su", he knew that if the princess he married left, it would be difficult for him to use such a talent. So, he had to leave a backup plan.
Of course, Ye Yinzhu didn't know that he had attracted the attention of Lan Dias' team even though he had tried his best to suppress his strength. He hesitated for a day before the finals began, so after all the semi-finals were over, he returned to the hotel with Purple and the other two.
Zi laid on the spacious bed and asked Ye Yinzhu, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, "Yinxiu, if that Princess Luan Feng isn't Sula, what will you do?"
Ye Yinzhu slowly opened his eyes, and there was an almost deathly glint in the depths of his eyes. "I will kill my way into the Landias palace until I find Sula."
His voice was very calm, and his tone was as though the Landias palace was an ordinary garden.
Zi said, "Actually, we can also go to the palace to look for him. Maybe we will find something. "
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, "No, it is after all the most important place in the Landias Empire. We don't know the extent of the protection. Maybe we can find Sula, but I can't be sure that we won't be discovered. Zi, do you know? I really hope that Sula is Princess Luan Feng. If that's the case, I want to tell her in front of all the Landias people how much I love her. So, before that, I can't expose myself. Even if there's only a trace of possibility, I have to avoid it. Let's wait until after the finals. If Sula doesn't come back, and Princess Luan Feng isn't her, then I think it will be a disaster for the Landias Empire. "
After saying this, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
With the souls he got from the semi-finals, it would be easier for him to cultivate his Necromancy Magic.
Even though Ye Yinzhu's words sounded a little arrogant, Zi knew that he wasn't exaggerating at all. Even without the help of the three divine beasts, just by relying on Ye Yinzhu's magic that was close to the ninth rank purple tier and his seventh rank purple tier martial skill, no one in the Landias Empire would be able to stop him. At the very least, it wouldn't be a problem for him to cast two forbidden spells and run away.
The next day, the Landias officials once again posted the announcement regarding the Civil and Military Tournament. Even though it didn't detail the situation of the final twenty people who entered the finals, it still announced the specific procedures of the Civil and Military Tournament.
On the day of the competition, the Civil and Military Tournament would be held in the morning. The final ten examinees would be assessed.
What was surprising was that the afternoon wasn't the traditional martial competition, but the magic competition. It would be hosted by the Demonic Mountain Stage Master.
After the magic competition ended, regardless of the time, the martial competition would immediately begin. It would be presided over by the Wuyue Stage Master.
After the three finals had ended, the twenty examinees would be ranked according to the results of their respective fields and would be chosen by Princess Luan Feng on the Wuyue Stage.
In the first part of the announcement, other than the order of the magic competition and the martial competition being adjusted, there weren't any other changes. But in the second part of the announcement, there was a rule added. That was, the first place of the three competitions would have the chance to show off their talents to the princess, and also get the chance to present a gift to the princess.
In other words, the final champion of the civil, martial, and magic stages would have a higher chance of obtaining the princess's gift.
In the civil, martial, and magic competitions, the civil competition would be conducted in a closed format. Not only were commoners not allowed to watch, even the allied countries' politicians were not allowed to watch. As for the magic competition and the martial competition, everyone was allowed to watch within the stipulated range.
As for who the masters of the civil, martial, and magic stages would be, it would only be announced at the start of the finals. This left a suspense in the hearts of the public.
Early in the morning, when the window was pushed open, a gust of warm air flowed in from outside. The fresh air brought a refreshing feeling in this hot summer.
Taking a deep breath of this comfortable air, Ye Yinzhu stretched his arms to the sides.
He looked in the direction of the Landias Palace. He prayed in his heart, Sula, I hope we can really meet today.
After putting on the Shenyuan magic robe and the mask that concealed his identity, Ye Yinzhu and Purple called Grassis and Ming, and walked out of the hotel together.
Before he could walk out of the hotel, he ran into a familiar face.
Clena looked at the handsome but expressionless Ye Yinzhu, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. She should have come to find him yesterday. But for some reason, Clena suddenly felt afraid. Even she did not know why she felt this way. Vaguely, she felt that Ye Yinzhu gave her a feeling of danger.
After Crespo and Kirrlutz returned that day, they carefully asked Clena about how she and Ye Yinzhu got to know each other. Through the Saintess of Light, Marina, they proved that Ye Yinzhu did not come from Fa Lan as they had imagined. However, Marina did not say anything definite about Fa Lan. Regarding the Faran, this Saintess of Light did not know much more than ordinary people. Ever since she became a disciple of O 'Brien, she spent most of her time training. She did not know how many powerful people there were in Faran.
Without reaching the position of a master of the seven towers of Faran, no one could know the true secret of the seven towers of Faran.
Crespo struggled in his heart for a long time and finally decided to let his daughter try to get close to Ye Yinzhu. However, Clena refused yesterday. Although she did not know if Ye Yinzhu's true identity was as he said, that he was just a beginner magician from the Kingdom of Arcadia. But she had already treated him as a friend. Since they were friends, How could they spy on him with bad intentions?
Therefore, until this morning, when the sky had just brightened. Krena couldn't help but run out to look for Ye Yinzhu in this hotel. She comforted herself in her heart that she only came to find him because she wanted to participate in the literary competition with him. She had no other motives.
"Ye Su."
Clena saw Ye Yinxiu coming down and quickly went to greet her.
Today, Ye Yinzhu's temperament seemed to have changed compared to a few days ago. Her original elegance was now overbearing, though Clena didn't know why this happened. However, she still felt that there was something off about this mysterious young man in front of her.
"Hello, Miss Clena."
Ye Yinxiu greeted her politely.
Clena said, "The finals are coming. Are you nervous?"
Ye Yinzhu nodded subconsciously, "Yes, a little."
Clena giggled, "So you can be nervous too!"
Of course, she did not know what Ye Yinxiu meant by nervous.
Another person laughed at the same time as Clena. Grassis chuckled, "Jean, oh, no, Young Master, you can be nervous too! This is the first time I've heard of it. "
Ye Yinzhu turned and glared at Grassis. Only then did he shut up in embarrassment.
Clena raised her hand and lightly punched Ye Yinzhu's arm, "Why are you scaring this bald uncle? Don't bully an honest person."
Although she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she treated everyone well. All the servants and guards in the house liked this young master. Although she wasn't a member of the royal family, everyone in the Landias Empire treated her like Princess Clena. Emperor Massimo doted on her even more than his own daughter, and even took her in as his adopted daughter.
Ye Yinzhu was stunned, "What did you say? You said he's honest? "
This time, not only did Ye Yinxiu relax a little, but a smile appeared on her face. Behind her, Ming and Zi also had strange expressions on their faces.
Surprisingly, Grassis's face blushed, "That's right, Young Master. You can't always bully an honest person like me!"
Honest? The great war beast Grassis was called honest. Ye Yinzhu really wanted to tell Clena that this guy had killed at least 80,000 if not 100,000 people. If you saw the strength he displayed during the war, you probably wouldn't call him honest anymore.
"Alright, let's go. The tournament is about to begin. "
Ye Yinxiu didn't linger on this topic and walked out first.
Looking at Ye Yinzhu's tall figure, Clena couldn't help but recall what her father told her. According to Emperor Massimo's order, they had to do everything possible to keep this unfathomable guy here. From her father's words, if they couldn't keep him in Landias, perhaps …
Thinking until here, Clena couldn't help but worry. Her mood was also a bit down. She quickly caught up to Ye Yinzhu and walked side by side with him.
After leaving the hotel, the group of five headed out of the city. The hotel that Ye Yinzhu chose wasn't too far from the tournament venue. An ordinary person could reach it in half an hour.
"Ye Su, can I ask you a question?"
Clena couldn't help but ask as they walked. She knew that if she didn't take the initiative, this guy didn't seem to want to talk to her.
Ye Yinzhu looked straight ahead and said, "Ask away."
Clena said, "I want to know why you came to participate in this civil and military tournament. If the Kingdom of Arcadia knows that there's a talent like you in the country, they can give you any treatment possible. Did you come to Landias because the empire is powerful and suitable for your development? Or is it because of something else? "
Ye Yinzhu's eyes revealed a trace of hazy brilliance, "I came here only for one person."
The tournament was about to begin. He realized that he was very nervous even though he was always calm, so he spoke the truth subconsciously.
"For one person? Who? The princess? "
Clena's heartbeat sped up. Her gaze towards Ye Yinxiu also changed.
Ye Yinzhu turned to look at Clena and caught the trace of curiosity in her eyes, "Perhaps. If she's really what I want. "
Clena giggled: "You're quite smart. If you can obtain Her Highness's attention, coupled with your own strength, it won't be long before you become someone who can call the wind and summon the rain in the empire."
Ye Yinzhu smiled with a trace of mockery at the corner of her mouth, "Qingyin stays in the secular world. When will the disputes stop? Who can break away from fame and wealth and roam freely in the void? Fame and wealth are like floating clouds to me. "
If he wanted fame and wealth, did he need to come to Landias?
"Hey, slow down. You haven't made yourself clear yet. "
Seeing Ye Yinxiu suddenly quickened her pace, Clena hurried to keep up. However, Ye Yinzhu walked too fast. With her magician's body, she was already panting after a while. She watched Ye Yinzhu's group of four leave, but there was nothing she could do.
"This bad guy. He didn't even speak clearly and ran so fast."
Although the first round of the finals wasn't allowed to spectate, there were still many citizens of the Landias Empire gathered around the field. Most of them came to watch the show. Of course, there were also some who wanted to see if the empire could recruit some talents in this year's civil and military competition.
Outside the field, Ye Yinzhu and Purple conversed in a low voice for a while. Then, Purple disappeared into the crowd with Ming and Grassis. Ye Yinxiu held his number one card and walked into the field with his head held high.
The venue for the cultural competition was much livelier than Ye Yinzhu had imagined. Although there were only ten candidates in the final round, he also saw many spectators apart from the ten candidates.
These people sat around the field. Although they all wore casual clothes, Ye Yinzhu could tell from their temperament and aura that they were all people of high status. They should be the civil and military officials of the Landias Empire. No wonder the Landias officials didn't allow commoners to watch the finals. From this lineup, it could be seen how much importance Landias placed on this.
