Salon still remembers every word and every action the teacher made at that time. He also clearly remembers the reactions of other people who attended the festival.
Of course they would not agree, because at that time Saron's teacher was just a little-known mage. No one knows who he is, what his name is, what his purpose is, and why he is so arrogant.
But it didn't take long for Saron to understand that what the teacher did at that time was not arrogant, he was just asking the empire for what he deserved.
The guards and mages from the Imperial Academy of Magic surged up like a tide. They were ready to take down this arrogant man. If necessary, it was not impossible to kill him directly on the spot because he had offended the king of the empire.
But something happened that shocked and horrified everyone. Nearly a hundred elite mid-level warriors, plus dozens of magisters from the magic academy, could not restrain their teacher. To put it more directly, the teacher was faced with the siege of more than a hundred middle and high-level people, and he did not even move his feet.
He easily defused the tidal attack of the Stoke royal guards, and then subdued them with overwhelming and overwhelming power. The battle only lasted for more than ten minutes. After ten minutes, the teacher still stood there with a normal expression, and among those who tried to capture him, none of them died. Everyone was either unconscious or immobilized, even the injured. Not many!
The audience was silent for a full minute, and finally the old king stood up.
Kilron Stock, the current king of the Stock Empire, is now ninety-six years old. But with the help of powerful magic and various potions, Kilroan still maintains the appearance of being in his forties.
Yes, Kilroan is not only the king of the Stoker Empire. He is also a high-level mage with level 19 strength, and was once known as the top powerhouse "under the legend". The reason why he received this title was because Kilroan was praised as an invincible existence after excluding the Sanctuary and Legend.
Of course, because he is the king of the Stoke Empire, he will always hear flattery and the like. What's more, I have already reached level 19 when I was middle-aged. Regardless of whether I am truly invincible, it is still a matter of pride to receive the title of "Under the Legend".
Yes, forty years ago Kilroan had a great love for the title "Under the Legend". But after being stuck at Level 19 for twenty years, it would be an offense to His Majesty Kilron, the great King of Stoke, to mention this title again. Many people mentioned the term "under the legend" in order to flatter Kilroan, and they were all punished by the furious old king.
Some were imprisoned and executed on another day, while others were directly annihilated by the angry Kilroan using spells. As for family members, these poor ghosts' family members were sometimes executed directly, while the better ones were reduced to slaves and eked out an ignoble existence.
Although Kilroan's methods were a bit bloody, after several punishments, everyone forced themselves to forget this word. Today, people only know that Kilroan is not only the highest point in the political circles of the Stoke Empire, but also a major authority in the magical world. As for words like "Under the Legend", no one mentioned it anymore.
The old king and the teacher looked at each other for half a minute, and then he asked about the teacher's strength. The teacher answered truthfully at the time, saying that he was a mage who had devoted himself to practicing for many years, and now he had entered the realm of legend.
This answer shocked the people attending the festival again, but it was even more shocking. None of the wizarding authorities present, including Kilroan, refuted the teacher's statement. In other words, this sentence is not bragging, but it is probably the truth!
Legendary mage! If a legendary mage can be added, it will be a huge change for the Stoke Empire!
Although the Stoker Empire has always been slightly stronger than the Hawke Empire in terms of mid-to-low-end combat power. However, the Stoke Empire has a fatal shortcoming compared with the Hawke Empire, and that is the weakness of the top combat power.
Yes, before the teacher appeared, the Stoke Empire did not have a top-level personal force like Sanctuary or Legend that could influence the continent.
Although neither "Flash Sword Master" Malolit nor "Wandering Holy Spear" Kevin has explicitly stated that he belongs to the Hawke Empire, these two known sacred warriors in the Kino Continent are both related to the Hawke Empire. The royal family has good personal relationships.
Especially Malolite, that old man who spends all day eating and drinking with the Hawke Empire royal family. Even though he had made it clear that he and Kevin were unwilling to use their own power to affect the situation on the entire continent, even children understood the principle of cannibalism. No idiot would believe that if one day the Hawke Empire was cornered by the Stokers, Malolite would not jump out to help.
Therefore, although Malloryt and Kevin have not blatantly helped the Hawke Empire, in the eyes of the Stoker people, these two sacred warriors will be two time bombs that may explode at any time.
Because of this, not only the Stoke royal family has a headache about this matter, but even the people are quite uneasy about this situation. What happened next proved that the southerners' worries were justified, because within a few years Malolite began to help the Yankees contact the indigenous guilds in the Eastern Continent. A few years later, Malolite's daughter also blatantly joined the official organization of the Hawke Empire.
Therefore, if there was not a legendary mage secretly sitting in Stoke, the southern royal family would have been as anxious as an ant in a pot.
This shows how eager the people present at that time were for a top powerhouse. After Kilron confirmed the teacher's strength, he agreed to his first condition without hesitation.
But Kilroon seemed very hesitant about handing over Saron. He didn't know whether he understood how terrifying Saron's potential was or something else. In short, the young Saron had already read the reluctance on the old king's face. But under the temptation of the legendary power and the hope of everyone, the old king made a proposal to let Saron make his own choice.
The teacher had no objection to this. Everyone focused on Saron. So what did the teenage Saron think at that time
There is no doubt that the strength the teacher showed before not only conquered all the idiots who tried to attack him, but also conquered Saron, a frivolous young man who had just understood his potential. Saron almost shouted and agreed to become the middle-aged man's disciple, and from that day on, Saron knew his teacher's name - Rogge.
Not many people knew this name. He was one, and Kilroan was one. As for the others, Saron was not sure.
Yes, Rogge was so low-key in Stoke, even as low-key as if he didn't exist. It may be that Rogge cast some unknown spell. Most of the people present at the time forgot about the episode that happened that day and the protagonist of the episode in the following days.
But there are still some people who remember Rogge. They are all at the top of the Stoke Empire and the absolute confidants of the royal family. These people paid unparalleled attention to Rogge in the first year. After all, this guy had a somewhat weird background. If he wanted to be detrimental to the empire, he could still do many things with his abilities.
But after more than a year of observation, Kilroun discovered that Rogge only did some obscure magic research besides guiding Saron. He neither interferes in imperial politics nor affects imperial military affairs, and even appears to be very quiet in the magic academy. This move not only reassured the dean of the college who felt that his position was in jeopardy, but also reassured the top management of the Stoke Empire who loved and hated Rogge.
Maybe, this guy is really just a lunatic who studies magic to the point of madness, right? You can't live without being crazy. Without this crazy energy, he wouldn't be able to become a legendary mage. Kilron gradually developed such an opinion towards Rogge.
Because of this, Kilroane also understood Rogge's low profile. He didn't bother to track down Rogge's identity—what if this approach angered the eccentric legendary mage? Kilroun also didn't explore why Rogge didn't want others to know his existence - maybe this guy is mentally ill? But there is nothing wrong with being so low-key, at least it can surprise the opponent at the critical moment.
In this way, Rogge lived peacefully in the thousand-year-old capital of the Stoke Empire for several years.
In the following years, Rogge trained apprentices just as Kilron had expected. After his apprenticeship, Rogge began to study magic equipment when he was leisurely. The magic cannon is Rogge's best work in the past few years.
Think about it, a legendary mage does not interfere with the rule of the empire by his own power. Normally, he only spends money to do some magic research, and he can also produce outstanding results such as magic cannons. At a critical moment, he can still jump out and rely on his own strength to save the fate of the empire. Such a person must be very popular in the eyes of the Stoke Empire royal family.
It is precisely because of this that the royal family has become more and more respectful to Rogge and even Saron in recent years. This makes Saron, a young mage with a grassroots background, feel a little elated. He is different from the low-key Rogge. Being in the limelight and attracting attention is what Saron likes to do most. And since I have such conditions, I might as well use these conveniences to serve the imperial military, and then become a noble.
This was Saron's original intention when he joined the battlefield. In the past six months, Saron has relied on his terrifying personal abilities to achieve many military exploits for the Stoke Empire. With these military exploits, Saron finally gained some influence in the Imperial military. And the purpose of everything he did was to wash away the humiliation he suffered from Regnar half a year ago!
And Saron's first stop for revenge against Regnar is the Costa Fortress where Regnar once stayed!
