"You should find the right balance for yourself. I didn't understand you when you were young."
The old man glared at him unhappily and said, "Irena has already started learning Ash Magic. I will send someone to watch her these few days. When the operation begins, Zolman will personally protect her safety. It's best to save your annihilation power for Phyllis's teacher, Lisa Candil."
He ordered, "That girl was my old rival. I have disliked her for decades. Go and kill her for me, and then make her into a holy relic. For a weak alchemist like you, a time-related holy relic will be just the right thing for you to use for self-defense."
Licinius hesitated for a moment: "Can I have them all?"
The old man was stunned: "Do you have a way to kill them all?"
"Well, that depends on how strong Sword King Bakar is."
Licinius spread his hands and said, "I'm just bragging, but I expelled the Rose Sword School."
The old man thought for a moment and said suspiciously, "If he uses all his strength, there shouldn't be any problem... But isn't Bakar's soul power almost exhausted?"
Li Xini smiled slightly and said, "Then you just wait and watch the show. I have something to do first."
The old man snorted: "Go away..."
"I'll bring you food tomorrow."
Licinius bowed slightly and left with satisfaction.
The sunlight falls on the boy's back, shining brightly.
The old man sat at the stone table, silently drank the last mouthful of pumpkin porridge, and fell into silence.
"so good… "
He whispered softly.
At this time, Mr. Zolman came out of the room, stroked his gold-rimmed glasses, and said respectfully: "Dean, I haven't seen you so happy in many years."
The old man blew his beard and glared, and said proudly: "That's not nonsense. Did you hear what he said just now? He said he would come to bring me food tomorrow. Do you think you can afford such a reward?"
Mr. Zolman smiled and said, "It's worth it that you have traveled half of the Eastern Continent for him all these years."
"In fact, when I made this decision, I didn't expect any reward."
The old man said: "But this porridge is really delicious."

Meanwhile, Florence.
A pure white coffin was carried into the carriage.
The giant fire dragon dragged the carriage, flapping its huge and ferocious wings, as if it was about to fly.
The inquisitors of the Inquisition stood on the back of the dragon, with solemn expressions and murderous eyes.
At the same time, the airship spewed out hot steam.
The officers of the Bureau of Control stood on the deck, their eyes fixed on the group of members of the Inquisition.
A pale young man with dark circles under his eyes silently boarded the boat's gangway and muttered to himself, "Three years and three years, I'm almost the second in command of the military, when will it end? Your Majesty, please call me back so I can worship the idol..."
"Major General Wayne."
An officer from the Bureau of Control saw him and smiled amiably: "I have heard of you for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am the Third Auditor General from the Bureau of Control. You can call me Alfonso Doughty."
After saying this, the director of the Third Inspection Department looked at the young man with a very meaningful look.
Wayne's face twitched. "Hahaha, you are the head of the Administration Bureau. What a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me on the way. Our mission is to ensure that Chief Cyrus can arrive in the capital smoothly so as to restore the truth of the border war and give him a clean name."
He looked at the pure white coffin, and his eyes fluctuated for a moment.
"Don't worry, we will ensure General Cyrus' safety."
Alfonso smiled and said, "However, I may have to inconvenience you military officers along the way. After all, before General Cyrus is cleared of suspicion, you are all... suspects..."
There was a group of officers behind Wayne, some of them looked ferocious, while others had gloomy expressions.
After hearing these words, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Yeah, that's understandable."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I thought that these members of Dawn were really difficult to manage.
At this time, the military officers' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly went up to the deck and made way.
Boom boom!
Heavy footsteps were heard.
I saw a sturdy woman weighing at least 300 pounds boarding the cabin. Every step she stepped on had an obvious dent. Her military uniform was almost torn apart and her muscles were trembling. Even the heels of her high boots were bent, making her look like a giant spirit, bringing a great sense of oppression.
Wayne's face turned green, but he showed an extremely flattering smile: "My dear, you are here."
The sturdy woman smiled what she thought was an extremely gentle smile, grabbed the young man's shoulder and said, "After all, you are escorting my father back to the capital, so of course I will stay by your side. Otherwise, what will you do if you feel lonely along the way? After my father is cleared of the crime, we will hold the wedding!"
Wayne had a look of despair on his face and was wailing in his heart.
Your Majesty, I have sacrificed so much for the organization. I must be a martyr, right
Yes, he is a night watchman.
Code name, Bird!
During the border war, Her Majesty once said that she also had a secret agent in the military.
Now this hidden player has finally surfaced.
There was a reason why Alfonso looked at him with meaningful eyes.
He was able to be promoted from an unknown soldier to a major general in the army in just one year, all thanks to the connections of the female giant in front of him.
"He's a man who can accomplish great things."
Alfonso took a deep look at the young man, then turned to look at the giant fire dragon.
On the huge dragon head, there is a slender and graceful figure.
"Jeanne Legris?"
Chapter 188 Awakening, the Corpse-Eating Ritualist!
At dusk, Licinius finally arrived at the city of Pythias on his warhorse.
This is an abandoned city located 57 kilometers west of the royal capital. It was once the empire's leading economic city, but a magical disaster broke out forty years ago, making it no longer suitable for human habitation. Instead, it is more suitable for the growth of monsters, forcing residents to migrate eastward.
Instead, more and more adventurers are settling here to mine magical resources.
At this moment, he was standing on a high tower and looking at the city.
It is desolate, bleak and uninhabited, with vegetation and vines covering the old buildings.
The streets were littered with garbage and debris, as well as human and monster skeletons.
It has a desolate feeling like a wasteland.
"Captain, according to the information reported by Jia Niao, the team responsible for escorting Cyrus will soon arrive at Pisen City. It is estimated to be three kilometers away and is expected to enter the city within fifteen minutes."
Tria's clear and pleasant voice rang out in the communication mirror. She was extremely excited to cooperate with the captain after a long time.
"Bird..."
Licinius knew that the Night's Watch also had secret agents in the military.
Just hearing the name feels weird.
"Armored Bird claims that there are members of Dawn hidden in the military, including Hidden Ghost, Slayer, and Dream Demon. But the real trouble is the Inquisition. Although Jeanna Legris is a sixth-level peak warlock and the most talented Grand Inquisitor in the history of the Inquisition."
Tria said in the communication mirror: "However, if the Rose Sword School really tries to kill her at all costs, coupled with the temporary betrayal of the members of Dawn, the probability of her being killed is as high as 99%."
Licinius raised his eyebrows, he knew the seriousness of the matter.
Because the Rose Sword School has now colluded with the old nobility.
There is no guarantee that the old nobles will not help secretly.
The Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition died in the territory of the Brentanian Empire at the hands of black magic. This would undoubtedly completely anger the Holy See and might even lead to a war.
Of course this is not the worst.
"Captain, you should know that the magic heritage of the Inquisition is also the system of the Holy See. Once a top warlock of the Holy See system dies in Pisen City, the rules here will be distorted, turning this place into a completely forbidden place, and then it will continue to expand." Tria said in a deep voice.
Li Xini nodded. The old dean also reminded him of the seriousness of the matter.
Although I don’t know why the high-level warlocks of the Holy See have this special trait.
Anyway, according to the old dean, if a believer of the Goddess of Light dies from black magic, his soul will be twisted and become an extremely terrifying source of pollution, forming a forbidden place.
If it were at the border or other desolate places, it wouldn't matter.
The key is that Pisen City is too close to the royal capital!
It is a belief that symbolizes light and holiness, but it causes such a creepy thing after death.
The reason is still unknown.
If I have to say it, it's like a chaste nun who turned crazy and evil after being defiled by a minotaur
"I know. You can rest assured about this matter. I have made sufficient preparations."
Li Xini said calmly: "The Red Dragon Grand Commander should have arrived nearby, right?"
Tria replied: "Yes..."
"This is so fucking embarrassing..."
Li Xini recalled the devastated expression on the woman's face when he saw her rolling on the ground in the gray fog.
Ahem…
"Everything is planned as usual. Your mission is to protect Irena. Remember to take action at the critical moment. Mr. Zolman from the Holy Trinity Seminary will cooperate with you."
Licinius hung up the call and looked toward the tall buildings and spires nearby.
Countless heavy firepower weapons have been set up on the roof in advance, most of which are heavy machine guns, and there are also rocket launchers, magic energy annihilation cannons, and so on.
"Master, the hot weapons are ready."
Norn was holding a lollipop in her mouth, her long platinum hair fluttering in the wind above the tall building. It was rare that she didn't put her hair up today, mainly because she felt that she wouldn't have to fight anyone in close combat today.
Li Xini nodded. This barbarian woman's job was relatively easy. She was responsible for operating the thermal weapons installed on the roof. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not need to take action.
In comparison, Novia's tasks are more onerous.
"Is this the Frostmourne you mentioned?"
Novia held a huge steel sword in her hand. The hilt was black and rough, with devilish sword patterns on it. The sharp blade seemed to be polished by black ice, and the edge of the sword exuded a creepy chill.
It has to be said that this is an extremely high-level magical tool, and the key point is that it is surrounded by gray mist.
Novia couldn't even sense the existence of this sword!
The characteristics of gray fog are unknown!
"That's not the point. There's a small array pattern on the hilt. Try injecting magic into it."
Licinius smiled an extremely evil smile and explained, "Although it is not a holy relic, it is very close. I dare say that this is the best magic tool in the world, tailor-made for you!"
Although the materials used in its production are not top-notch, the key is that it is mixed with the mystery of gray fog!
Novia suspiciously injected a trace of magic power into the hilt of the greatsword.
The next moment, the iron sword began to vibrate at an alarming frequency, causing her palms to feel numb.
"This is called the Vibration Sword! It can help you kill people, and it can also guide you at night!"
Li Xini spread his hands and said with a smile: "Anyway, you are still single now, so you probably haven't conquered Fran yet, right? You won't be able to use things like the two-headed dragon, so you can try this when you go back."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was Norn who got angry first. Her pretty face, as delicate as ice and snow, flushed red, as if she remembered the socially fatal scene in the underground ruins of the ancient city of Hera. She turned her head away and became autistic.
“Uh…” Novia’s delicate body trembled slightly, and she quickly stopped the vibration of the steel sword. Her cold face seemed to be dripping with blood, her eyes were full of shame and anger, and she gritted her teeth.
Unexpectedly, Licinius suddenly came over and held her hot face: "This is my love for you as a brother. Just consider it as a small gift for us to repair our relationship. And with this sword, no matter where you are or what happens, I can find you."
Novia is no stranger to this kind of behavior of hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a date.
She didn't slap the boy's hand away, but gritted her teeth and whispered, "Are you thinking that after I capture Fran, we can both..."
