Full Time Mage Lord

Chapter 426 Gaiden: The False Future I

——

——

The Anaheim Mountains are surrounded by thick clouds all year round. No one can see the scenery on the top of the mountain, and no one knows which god is worshiped on the top of the mountain. They only know that it was the place of hope for all creatures on the continent. …

The bright sunshine spreads on the earth through thick clouds. The mood of the people under the Royal City of Anaheim is as enthusiastic as this sunshine. The long-term haze seems to have never appeared, and happy expressions can be seen everywhere.

Because they had won the previous war, they finally got rid of the pain of the long-term war. They brought tributes to the God of Hope and flocked to the temple on the Anaheim Mountains to offer their most sincere blessings. , chanting in unison, "Long live Anaheim, long live the God Emperor of Hope!"

Yes, this is Anaheim, the highest altitude area on the Divine Continent, and the place of the highest faith shared by humans, elves, and Luntedans on the continent...

"Captain, it's so lively today, the temple is even more magnificent!"

A young man wearing yellow-green armor looked at the crowd and said excitedly and expectantly.

This is the only way to reach the Anaheim Mountains - Axis Pass, right next to the Temple of Hope.

Believers who come here keep passing by here. Above here is a restricted area. Only those who have been called by the God Emperor can go up further.

The young man in armor is a member of the garrison. The army guarding such a key position is undoubtedly the elite of the temple - the Knights of the Holy See.

The Anaheim mountain area they want to protect is actually a huge residential complex, where most of the temples and the homes of the main priests live.

Once upon a time, once upon a time, this was the political center of the continent, with the only royal city in the entire Divine Continent. Even the kings and princes of the entire continent had to come here on time to listen to God's teachings.

The royal city is under the temple, and the believers of the Holy See and local residents are under the royal city. Anaheim Mountain forms three very obvious steps. The Holy See Knights are stationed at the Axis Pass between the royal city and the temple. .

After all, there are boundaries between gods and humans...

"Today is a celebration party!"

The captain suddenly said something, turned around and stared at the Temple of Hope, with a worried look on his face.

"Why are you dragging me? If his army hadn't been broken up and reorganized, how could he have joined such an important knighthood?"

The young man muttered unhappily. It was obvious that he was not convinced by the sudden appearance of the captain. If the former captain hadn't died in the war, who would have gotten him!

Just as he was thinking about it, someone slapped him on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell down. When he looked back, he saw a new knight who was also the current vice-captain.

He didn't expect that his muttering just now was heard, so he asked in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"This is the important place of the temple. You can get here based on strength rather than luck," the man said in a low voice with a serious expression, "Remember, in this merit-based Anaheim, only Strength can prove everything, and this is still a critical moment!"

The young man nodded and said "hmm" softly, with as much displeasure as possible in his voice.

The vice-captain frowned, sighed, and thought to himself, Thiago, Thiago, is it worth it to save a life in a fight to the death? Losing a comrade-in-arms and carrying a burden that can never be let go for the rest of his life is not just a matter of fact. Suspicion is the most terrifying thing, enough to drive an upright person crazy.

But now, the illustrious military exploits have been covered up, and suspicious eyes are everywhere. Even the little-known young knight next to him can casually question whether the Anaheim battle was a gain or a loss?

The Battle of Anaheim, God Bless Anaheim's Miracle Battle.

The Holy See Knights of Anaheim defeated the Alliance's 300,000 enemy troops with 50,000 people, and damaged more than half of the enemy's combat strength at the cost of 10,000 people...

Unfortunately, apart from those who have witnessed this miraculous achievement, only the senior people in the temple know about it. As for the reason for keeping it secret, no one can tell clearly.

Thiago, the third captain of the Holy See Knights, can only be regarded as a captain to be precise.

Because the Holy See Knights cannot be called a real army at all. They do not belong to the Anaheim Army. There are less than 10,000 people in total. As for the 50,000 mentioned, they are actually the Anaheim Chapter of friendly forces. Since it is It was commanded by the head of the Holy See Knights, so it was regarded as the Holy See Knights.

As for where is the command of the Anaheim Chapter? Officers who escaped from battle were often seen during the war, not to mention that they were ordered to return to the imperial capital. After the war, the remaining thousands of men were reorganized into different units, and the original unit organization of the Knights of the Holy See disappeared.

Therefore, Thiago, a tough man with bronze skin and a resolute expression, entered the new Holy See Knights and became a squad leader.

Thiago is now staring quietly at the top of the mountain in the distance. The previous conversation cannot be hidden from him who has the power of the Sky Knight. Similar experiences make him know what the vice-captain is thinking, but he doesn't mind at all, because the vice-captain After all, he was not the original member of the Knights of the Holy See. He did not understand the agreement between them and just murmured, "Is she okay..."

A palace decorated with a large number of soul crystals on the top of the mountain is reflecting brilliant golden light.

The golden light that symbolizes the divine power, the highest power on the continent, shines on everything. This is the light of the sun.

Xiu drove a golden chariot across the horizon, overlooking the beautiful palace below.

This huge building is made of golden soul crystal, and the cleverly placed windows on all sides are made of hollowed-out silver crystal.

Starting from the gate and walking from east to west, you will find that the patterns on the windows depict the first generation of God Emperor——

The story of Schuyn Neumann, who was worshiped as the God-Emperor, and how he established his rule.

The front of the palace faces east, with a total of seven doors. The doors dozens of meters high are engraved with complicated graphics, and there are still vague scars in the middle and lower parts. Thirty-six giant pillars are distributed around, holding up the roof steadily. Each giant pillar has eighteen ribs. The top of the pillar is decorated with sun patterns, and the bottom of the pillar is decorated with moon patterns.

Xiu positioned the golden chariot in mid-air, jumped down, and landed steadily in front of the main entrance of the Temple of Hope. The temple guard in front of the door was startled by the man who fell from the sky.

The guard took a closer look and saw a tall and burly man with short golden hair shining like the sun, a wide forehead, a high bridge of nose, and a faint golden light in his brown eyes. The golden-red robe is embroidered with eye-catching sun patterns.

The guard recognized that the person in front of him was the Soul of Fire - the messenger who represented the last will of the First God Emperor Shuyin Neumann on the Divine Compassion Continent.

Soul Master is the honorific title given to those who possess the power of soul energy in the Divine Mercy Continent, and as the First God Emperor’s messenger of cultivation, several Soul Masters also symbolize those who are strong in a certain attribute.

They replaced the God of Earth Gaia, the Goddess of War Athena, the God of Light Victor, and the God of Judgment Hess who were believed by people on the previous continent. It can be said that they are the people of the gods who once believed in their own gods. .

The Soul One is not a true god, and certainly not eternal, so someone with the power to replace the Soul One exists - the god of hope in Anaheim - the God-Emperor.

The current God-Emperor is the Third God-Emperor Rodel, a man who sent his father, the Second God-Emperor, to hell, and directly replaced him as the Third God-Emperor...

The guards knew about the soul of fire and hurriedly bowed and invited him to enter the palace.

Xiu nodded in return with a sunny smile. After taking a few steps, he stepped back and said, "You guys are very unfamiliar."

"We are new here." The leading sergeant replied.

"Where were the previous ones?" Xiu asked.

"Most of them died." The palace guard replied.

"Really?" Xiu frowned, "Why, the border war even brought the temple guards to the battlefield? The war hasn't reached a point where it threatens the temple, right?"

"The temple guard only guarded the temple recently. Originally they only guarded the imperial capital below." The sergeant replied.

"What about the original one?"

"It was sent by His Excellency the Dark Soul Lord. It seems to be the Knights of the Holy See."

"It's the Holy See Knights again." Xiu said softly.

"Is something wrong?" the sergeant asked.

"Nothing." Xiu said and entered the hall.

There is no need for any lighting. The hall is extremely bright. The crystal roof reflects the sunlight and flashes brilliant light patterns.

Xiu didn't appreciate the beautiful light pattern, he looked around as if he was looking for something. Passing through people chatting in groups holding crystal cups, he found his goal.

A burly man leaned against an inconspicuous corner. He had black hair and black eyes, and his expressionless face showed toughness and resoluteness. His beard made him look tired and disappointed, and his well-fitting leather armor could not hide his well-developed muscles. He held a glass of red wine in his right hand and drank it carelessly. His eyes passed through the dancers whirling on the dance floor and locked onto Xiu who was walking towards him.

"Hey, brother, you are still so depressed after not seeing each other for so many days." Xiu was used to joking and greeted the big man casually.

"Hmph!" The big man ignored Xiu Xiu and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.

"Don't be so heartless. Even after a big victory, you should smile no matter what." Xiu was used to the indifference of the big man and said unwillingly.

Not seeing the big man's increasingly gloomy expression, Xiu still acted casually. Suddenly, he pinched the big man's cheeks with both hands and pulled out an ugly smile. Regardless of the big man's desire to kill someone, he nodded with satisfaction. "This is like my good brother. When you were little, you loved to laugh. The older you get, the more gloomy you become. Why, you've had enough of being a Soul of Earth, and you've changed your career to being a Soul of Punishment?"

The big man, no, it should be Sam, the soul of the earth. He shook his body displeasedly, got rid of his brother's shackles, drank down the wine in his hand, handed it to the nearby maid, and glared at this cheerful and playful man. , the half-brother who grew up together looked at him and replied helplessly, "The war is over."

"Please, I've said so much, you just say this to me!" Seeing Sam turning his head and refusing to pay attention to him, Xiu hurriedly changed his words, "Yes, yes, this time the fight was very good, so that every time The war between gods and demons that lasted for several years ended in a few months. As the commander-in-chief of the front line, you have made a great contribution and will definitely be rewarded."

"A lot of people died," Sam said in a lukewarm tone.

"No one will die in a war." Xiu Xiu looked like it had nothing to do with him.

"There are many who don't deserve to die." Sam was angered by Xiu's indifference. He grabbed Xiu's collar and growled, "It's from above..."

Xiu ignored the struggle and quickly covered Sam's mouth, interrupting him, "Anaheim, right?"

Sam's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Xiu in disbelief and said, "You know! Then you don't care so much, and you still..."

After a long while, he put down his repair work, straightened his clothes, looked around and saw no one paying attention, and said, "I heard that the superiors gave up fifty thousand people to buy time and retreat to the Fortress of Sighs. These fifty thousand people are really pitiful. They were beaten by their own The empire has been betrayed. But isn’t it okay? We only used ten thousand people to wipe out the enemy’s main force, which directly contributed to our final victory. That commander must be a genius. Even the Dark Souls are probably not as good as him. Although he disobeyed the order, but He will definitely be heavily rewarded, he..."

Seeing his brother's face getting darker and darker, Xiu asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"You're right," Sam looked away from his brother, as if to find something, but found nothing, so he had to look back and continue, "Do you know who the commander is?"

"She should be the right-hand man of Dark Soul Lord Frant." Xiu said uncertainly.

"No, it's my little sister." Sam calmly dropped a bombshell and sneered at the reaction of the person in front of him.

"Are you kidding?!" Xiu finally put away his signature smile and became serious.

"What do you think?"

A solemn bell rang in the temple, and the attendants quickly retreated. The people in the temple hurriedly restrained their expressions, arranged their clothes, and lined up to wait, as if someone important was about to appear.

Amidst the solemn bells, a golden light flashed, and a crystal high platform appeared in the west of the hall.

On the stage, a man dressed in black is sitting on the throne. His pure black eyes are devoid of any emotion, and his seemingly casual movements are full of arrogance. Needless to say, it is the God Emperor, the Third God. Emperor Rodel. He ignored the people saluting in the audience and shook the hand of a sexy and enchanting woman next to him as if to comfort.

The woman sitting next to the God Emperor is wearing a floor-length skirt that makes her skin as beautiful and dignified as pearls. Her smiling face makes people feel like a spring breeze. Her waist-length hair is casual but not messy, with gold and silver intertwined. The hair accessories sparkled like stars.

It is not difficult to guess from the God-Emperor’s intimate behavior that she is the God-Queen—Lilith. She looked around the hall, as if greeting everyone, but also seemed to be looking for something, the anxiety hidden in her sweet smile continued to deepen.

"See the God Emperor!" everyone shouted.

"No courtesy." The Third God Emperor Rodel responded lightly, restrained all his casualness, and stood up.

"My God is wise, and under my God's command, we achieved an effective victory in just a few months!"

I don’t know who took the lead, but for a moment, “The God Emperor is wise!”

"The divine emperor's civil and martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world!"

Flattery words like this came flooding in.

The Third God Emperor Rodel listened to the praises calmly, and Lilith's brows furrowed involuntarily.

The Third God Emperor Rodel waved his hand, and the noise immediately disappeared. He slowly scanned the entire hall, paused intentionally or unintentionally in a corner, and said seriously——

"Today, we are celebrating victory here," his voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in everyone's ears, "In this war, Anaheim is finally united to fight the enemy together..."

Before the God Emperor finished speaking, there was a "click".

It was the sound of a crystal cup falling.

Lilith's heart suddenly tightened, her worried look completely exposed, and she turned with everyone to the corner where the sound came from, the corner where the Third God Emperor Rodel had stopped for a while.

"Who is it?" The guards rushed in.

"Huh, what a unity in Anaheim!"

The clear voice is as sweet as a silver bell, and the cold tone makes people's hair stand on end. The owner of the voice—a petite figure appeared in front of people.

Lilith couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to say something, but was stopped by the Third God Emperor Rodel. He took Lilith's hand, looked into her eyes as deep as night, and said softly, "Trust me."

Lilith looked back at the seemingly emotionless eyes of the Third God Emperor Rodel, and sat back on the throne with a complicated expression, silently watching him wave away the soldiers and face the people in the corner.

In the silent hall, the footsteps of uninvited guests were particularly clear.

He, no, judging from the voice, it should be her, walking slowly towards the center of the hall. The sun shines on her body, and you can see that she is wearing a unique armor without any emblems - the ordinary Anaheim armor is green, but hers is dark red, a red after blood has solidified. .

She didn't wear a helmet, and her brown hair was draped messily on her shoulders. I don't know if it was because of her clothes, but her face was a little unusually red. Her frail body seemed frail, but her steps were extremely firm.

She walked to the center of the hall, stood in the unique stance of a knight, and stared at the Third God Emperor Rodel with her eyes that looked exactly like the Third God Emperor Rodel. What kind of look is that? There is pain, anger, a touch of confusion, deep despair, and even more profound hatred!

The strong hatred made the Third God Emperor Rodel move guiltily, avoiding the sharp gaze, clearing his throat, covering up his embarrassment and saying, "Salise, it is very inappropriate to interrupt others. Be polite, as a princess, you should pay attention to etiquette."

Salis, the youngest daughter of the Third God Emperor Rodel - Salis Rodel.

"unreasonable?"

Shalis glanced at the expressions of everyone. Some were confused, some were suddenly enlightened, some were slightly angry, and some were just watching the fun. The silence in the hall had long been replaced by whispers.

Salis smiled contemptuously and continued, "Is it etiquette to take the lives of innocent people at will?" The ever-increasing pitch revealed her uncontrollable anger.

"presumptuous!"

The Third God Emperor Rodel obviously did not expect that his little daughter, who was usually the most well-behaved and considerate, would contradict him in public. He did not react for a moment, and the water soul leader Jialong, who was standing at the front of the team, scolded him.

Jialong, the Soul of Water, is one of the two remaining younger brothers of the God Emperor. His aqua-blue hair is his biggest draw.

At this time, he walked out of the queue, came to Shalis, and said loudly, "Shalis, what are you talking about? If the God Emperor hadn't been wise and great, and strategized, how could our army have conquered such a small force in such a short period of time?" The war is won at a cost.”

"Wise and great? Planning a strategy?" Shalis gritted her teeth and said, "A victory built on the corpses of countless innocent people, a victory soaked in the blood of innocent people. A..."

"It is impossible for war not to kill people. For soldiers, dying on the battlefield is the best way to realize their value. Being shrouded in horse leather is the highest honor for a soldier." Jialong interrupted Shalis.

"They are innocent. As long as they are commanded properly, the casualties can be reduced to less. They should not die without knowing anything. This command is wrong. This is just a lucky victory. This..."

"This is indeed not a complete victory. According to the original plan, 50,000 people were allowed to hold back the enemy's main force on the front line, while the remaining troops circled from the Fortress of Sighs to the enemy's rear. On the one hand, they formed a pincer attack to eliminate the main force, and on the other hand, they opened the road to attack Huanglong. In the heart of the enemy, I believe that the glory of Anaheim will once again shine on the entire God's Mercy Continent!"

Jialong paused meaningfully and continued, "And now, a permanent barrier array has been set up on the transportation thoroughfare between Anaheim and the outside world." Before he finished speaking, the hall seemed to explode. After all, this is For the first time since the end of the war, the Battle of Anaheim is being talked about.

Jialong ignored the noisy discussion and continued, "Although the enemy's main force was eliminated with minimal casualties, it also blocked the main road for our army to attack the alliance, giving Hades a chance to breathe. They will definitely make a comeback. By then, the losses may not be made up by just a few Holy See Knights, right, Captain of the Holy See Knights?"

It seemed that someone had recited the silent magic, and all the envoys suddenly fell silent. People who didn't know the inside story looked at Salis with incredulous expressions, while those who knew the situation showed that she was in big trouble.

"I, I..." Shalis couldn't find the words to refute at all.

"Then again, permanent barrier formation, this is the most difficult magic that represents the dark attribute time and space forbidden spell. There should not be many people in the temple who know it," Jialong saw Shalisi's uneasiness, although she was She is a junior, but she is a courtier once she enters the court, and she will not let her go just because of her young age.

He circled around Shalisi, and every word he said went straight into Shalisi's heart.

"To set up such a large barrier at once, hundreds of people with at least the power of a magician must cast spells at the same time. Then a solid barrier with life as the medium will cost the lives of hundreds of senior mages. Although I admire you for being able to do so. We found so many mages in such a short period of time and made them willingly sacrifice their lives. However, they are all rare talents. If they follow the original plan, they can make greater achievements in more places. With your contribution, you can save more people. But now, it has been wasted by you so casually. Who doesn’t cherish life?"

"Well, that, that, no no no no, no..."

For some reason, Shalis couldn't form a word of protest, let alone disclose the truth as she hoped, which made her already red face even redder.

Jialong looked at Shalisi's embarrassment with satisfaction, and said in Shalisi's ear in a low voice that could be heard by everyone in the room, "Ah, by the way, I almost forgot, you seem to have come back safely. So many people have died, but you, the one with the strongest magic power, are back. Could it be that you used your power to order others to die, but you escaped from the battle yourself?"

"No, no, no, no! I didn't, I didn't." Salis could only repeat this weak argument.

"Oh?" Jialong's expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.

"I'm hurt." Shalis defended.

"Oh?" Jialong's smile grew wider, "Injured? How do I know you didn't injure yourself to save your life and escape in the name of being injured?"

"I'm not..." Shalis shook her head in pain.

Without giving her a chance to defend herself, Jialong said sternly, "Resisting orders and running away from the battlefield. Captain of the Holy See Knights, Salis Rodel, tell me what crime you deserve!"

"No, no, that's not the case..."

"Come here, hand over this deserter who can only tell lies to the arbitration tribunal!"

The guards who had just retreated rushed into the hall again, and knowing Shalisi's identity, they looked at the God Emperor and the Soul of Water at a loss, not knowing what to do, but Shalisi still just shook her head.

"What are you still doing?"

"Who let you in?"

The God Emperor and the Water Soul Master issued completely opposite orders at the same time. Seeing the God Emperor speak, the guards hurriedly stepped aside and waited to see what happened.

"God Emperor, my brother is not wrong. The prince committed the same crime as the common people. Princess Salis Rodel should be taken to the arbitration tribunal for trial!" Jialong argued vigorously.

The Third God Emperor Rodel was silent.

PS: Shenmi and Full-time Mage Lord are all set in an imaginary world with the same background. Meng Dun once conceived a trilogy in college. When it comes to Full-time Mage Lord, it can only be said that it is the last one. The reality is bleak. The results also made Mengdu lose the motivation to write the third part, but there is still a lack of connection between Shenmi and the full-time mage lord. In this case, Mengdu didn't want to finish the full-time mage lord with regrets, so he had to use this episode as A side story is put into the full-time mage lord, a story about a parallel world, the story of the Holy See of Xiuyin...

There are many historical eras in the Shenmin Continent. Originally, Meng Dun Project had three books, forming a trilogy. In fact, the outline was completed several years ago. It was only this year that I had time to write the book. But now it seems that this As a result, the Shenming Continent series can only end with this full-time Mage Lord, but Meng Dun is still a little unwilling to do so, so he had to publish the previous manuscript as a side story, eager to separate it from the outline. Maybe there are still some details. I apologize for some omissions. I was very immature and the writing was weak a few years ago. Please forgive me and just treat it as something that happened in a parallel world.
